Great place ,service food prices amazing will take friends and family there they also have a nice size private room for parties holds about 100 people,love the new owners .
The "Den" is one of the established bars in Northville, there are a couple of them. Â It's been around for a while, and it's a decent place to hang out, especially in the summer and their patio area. Â From the patio, you can do a fair amount of people watching.
It's a bar, with about 20 beers on tap, with a decent selection of bottled beers.
Good size menu, dominated by burgers and sandwiches. Â No sandwich is that outstanding, but nothing to complain about - solid food.
Decent happy hour specials, Drink and food.
This is also a decent football hang out place, pro and college.
This is a local place, a little of the beaten path, but a place I would go back to, if I was in Northville looking for a beer.
If you take it for what it's worth, you will be satisfied. Â It's a comfortable place to watch a game and have a few beers. Â The owner Phil is a great guy who continues to put good investment in to the place. Â Service could be quicker but the staff is friendly. Pricing matches the quality and value of the food. Â The new patio is a great place to hang out in the summer. Â Good casual hangout spot!
Review Source:This is more a 3.5 star review.
I like this place.
Maybe I'm partial because it's walking distance from our apartment but I enjoy the food much more than Pooles Tavern down the block.
This is a great place to come for affordable drinks and decent food.
I tend to stick to the burgers, appetizers, and sandwiches as opposed to the 'dinner' options.
They have a ton of beers on tap- including seasonal Michigan brews.
Mmmmm Oberon....
*Homer Simpson Drooling Noise*
It looks as though they gave their patio a makeover offering fire pits with cement block seating- very cool and perfect timing for summer.
They even put a flat screen TV out on the patio so you can enjoy the Tigers games while relaxing outside.
They also have TONS of specials- one being a medium 1 topping pizza and a pitcher of beer on Tuesdays for $14.50.
Suck on that Little Caesars.
A nice no- frills local bar with decent food and ice cold beer.
The Den has treated us well each time we've went. The burgers are good, shoe string fries are tasty and the zip sauce is quite good. This was probably a poor drink choice for this type of place, but after ordering a dirty martini twice, I've decided that The Den just isn't the place to order a drink like that - stick with mixed drinks or beer. Our service was good and the wings game was on several TV's making The Den is a good place to watch a sporting event!
Review Source:"The Den" as we like to call it has pretty good food and a fun atmosphere for watching sports. When the weather is nice (so maybe July and August) there is outdoor seating with heaters for those of us who get cold easily. Â
If i don't care about calories that day then I get the fish n chips. Â If I want to be good, then I get the salmon salad. Â They have a decent kids menu too. Â If it's not too busy and you have kiddos with you then head to the back room where there is a pool table. Â It's worth a few minutes of cheap entertainment for the kids and a break for the grown-ups.
We went to The Den for my wife's birthday to play pub trivia. It was the first time my wife and I and our friends had been there. I liked it! The beer selection was very good for a sports bar and the food was good, too. I had the Juicy Lucy and it was good. My wife had the Pizza Burger and only wished there was more sauce, but she likes lots of sauce.
The wait staff was pretty good. We did have to wait quite a while for our server to come back after she brought us our bills, but other than that drinks were kept filled and plates were cleared quickly.
If you're in the Northville area and looking for a cold beer and a good burger you can't go wrong at The Den.
Best parts about this spot are the location and number of TVs for a sports bar. It's one of the more busy bars in downtown Northville. The patio is large and shady with a TV mounted on the outside wall, making it the perfect setting for lounging on a nice weather day during a baseball game or any other big televised sports event.
Another good part about this business is the amount of food and drink specials, especially during Happy Hour. Selection on tap has enough variety and all are $1 off during Happy Hour, along with a certain amount of apps priced down to $5.
However, the worst part about this place is the quality of food. I ordered the Chicken Chunks and my friends ordered the Sliders. I know what you're thinking: a) I shouldn't expect much with bar food any way and b) The titles of their dishes aren't appetizing so I should have predicted the quality of food that way...But the menu descriptions that followed made them seem at least edible.
The Chicken Chunks were supposed to be a "healthy alternative" to chicken wings. These haphazardly cut-up pieces of chicken breast sat in a pool of poorly seasoned oil and came with browning celery and what tasted like bulk/grocery store pre-made cole slaw. It was one of the most unappetizing looking plates I've ever seen.
The Sliders looked like something that had been frozen and then re-heated, very plain- just thin patties on generic buns.
If I had to do it all over again, I would have just come for the drink specials and ate dinner somewhere else.
I will for sure return here because it's a local place and it's actually kind of cool.
Plenty of tvs and plenty of seats. Â The happy hour and food specials are a good deal.
Got a burger one night for $2. Â It came Ron Swanson style which is how I like it. Â None of that stupid ass gorgonzola shit. Â Just a simple burger that's just right for when it's beer thirty.
The service was on point. Â Bringing beers and food out when they were ready.
I had the wings here and only ordered a small order like six or something. Â They were really good and some of the better wings in the area. Â I like my wings crispy and these were plenty crispy. Â Not spicy but could eat fire so your experience my vary. Â I liked them and should have ordered more.
I say this because I had a few beers while hanging out with some bad ass chicks. Â This led me to order more food cause I was also hungry. Â I had the chicken tacos. Â I know this is a bar so you should stick to bar food. Â But being a Mexican American I always like to try Mexican food no matter where I'm at. Â The taco shells were flour tortillas that were deep fried. Â This was cool as some place don't usually do that. Â The chicken was hot and nice with the melty cheese. Â But overall they were just ok. Â Not much flavor in the chicken or the rice and beans. Â But like I said it's a bar. Â The wings and bar food is where it's at.
Good for drinking and drunk food. Â Cool little local place, can't complain!
Friendly, good, and fast describe the Sports Den. Great location. Good food, EXCELLENT burgers, and really good pizza. Menu variety is great, with new specials almost every week. The waffle fries are excellent! The waitresses are fantastic and friendly. Just got back from there, in fact.
Review Source:I'll keep this short and sweet...Fantastic bar, specials, food, loads of HD tvs and they have a awesome patio with at least 4 HD tvs on it! You can sit outside having a refreshing beverage, people watch and watch the game on tv. You can't go wrong with this bar. I highly recommend it! I included the specials below cause this place is bigger and better then pooles tavern and cheaper :-D Hope you enjoy it!

Not a bad little spot for watching sports. I've only been the one time and it was late at night on a weeknight, so not exactly crowded, but we wanted to watch some football and it certainly did the trick.
They had really great "happy hour" specials, and this particular night there were 1/2 off appetizers and drink specials that made it a very affordable night out.
There are already a lot of sports bars nearby that are a similar caliber, but if you lived  close by this wouldn't be a bad little spot to frequent. The food was just fine for a bar and there were lots of HD TV's on which to watch your favorite game.
The Northville Sports Den has certainly accumulated a following being in a somewhat awkward spot of downtown Northville. Â I give it 2.5 stars, but don't get me wrong - I do like it. Â It's just not my fave. Â I've got to start the Yelp curve somewhere!
I've been to The Den a handful of times now, often on Sundays. Â The bloody mary isn't bad, and it's only $4 during football games. Â The Juicy Lucy - two slices of cheese encased inside a burger - has never failed me.
The burgers come with a lame bag of potato chips which has always irked me, and while the shoestring and waffle fries aren't too shabby, they're pretty pricey hovering around $3-$4 for a side. Â That being said - the burgers are always juicy and quite big for less than $7. Â
To wrap it up: Â The parking situation is ample. Â The bar is open late. Â There's a good mix of a crowd. Â The bathrooms are decent. Â They even have live music and trivia, which I love. Â Overall, the place just doesn't call to me. Â The specials are never amazing. Â The only reason we keep returning is because they have some fantastic TVs outside, which makes for a fun football-filled afternoon! Â
The beer isn't cheap, but I've had a Den bartender tell me the Northville crowd is willing to pay more. Â Even so, Miller Lite is Miller Lite and fried mushrooms are fried mushrooms. Â The menu, service and atmosphere are simply decent. Â I'll return because I love supporting Northville business.
