Poole's Tavern

This has been one of my go-to places for lunch for a long time.  Great spot to park it on a patio when it's nice out.  Prices are a little higher than "normal" for the type of food but overall a great place.

The food (or anything barbecue there) is great.  Daily specials change and Mel the bartender is the best in the business.  If you are frequenting Northville then you should make a stop here.

Poole's is a fun little sports bar right in the heart of downtown Northville.  There is an outdoor patio that doubles the space of the restaurant,  but unfortunately it can only be used a few months out of the year in the state of Michigan-especially this year.  The food is surprisingly good for "bar food". The hummus and steak that my BF ordered was really good. I don't EVER order steak and I really liked it.  According to the bartender, they are known for their ribs (which I have not tried) and their fish and chips. I tried the fish and chips and I was not disappointed.  We also tried the onion rings (I know, a little indulgent but we deserved it) and all I can say is YUM! Go to Poole's and try the food AND the beer.  Bonus-have Hopslam right now too!

In my opinion, this is the best bar food in Northville. They have a good variety of burgers and sandwiches, and all of them are worth trying. It makes me happy that they serve Better Made chips! Chips made in Detroit with a Northville connection -- let me know if you figure that out!

I have been here with my sister and kid, or after work with colleagues. Either way, we have been treated well, enjoyed the crowd, and had great food and drinks. This place gets super busy when the weather is good or when there is anything going on in downtown Northville. If you do go in good weather, it's worth the wait for outside seating. You get a great view for people watching with your excellent food.
