The Tin Lizzie: User Reviews

Great place to watch a game!!

This bar is great to watch an MSU or Detroit (Redwings, Lions, Tigers) game. I went on Saturday night and we were able to reserve our table in advance (for free) and really enjoyed our night. There really isn't a bad seat in the entire bar if you're there to watch a game. The drinks are also reasonably priced for a Chicgo bar. Overall, we had a great time. I highly recommend it to any Detroit sports fans!

Always a GREAT Time

My friends and I come into Tin Lizzie all the time. We live in the neighborhood so it is very convenient for us, and on top of it we are from Michigan so it is a perfect place to watch the games, catch up with friends, and drink for good prices. Whether we go in there to watch a game or a night out we always have a blast in there. The staff is great. Very friendly and personable. They always play good music and if they aren't playing something you want...just ask the DJ. They also have great drink specials during the week...Tuesday- Miller and Coors only 2 bucks. Wednesday- all drinks including shots are HALF off, Thursday- Miller and Coors 2.50. Saturdays food is half off. And best of all Sundays all drinks are 3 bucks...not including shots. But it makes for a great Sunday Funday while watching the games. Check it out any day and you are guaranteed a good time.

Great for Game Day

Tin LIzzie is a great spot to watch a game, especailly an MSU or Detroit game. But I went with friends who were not fans and they were more than happy to put other games on a couple of the flat screens. You can"t beat the drink specials and the bartenders know how to pour. I had an all you can drink private party for my birthday and everyone had a great time and it wasn't overpriced for the package. I recommend it for anyone who likes a good game time atmosphere and doesn't wanna leave the bar broke!

Never disappointed

Tin Lizzie is a great spot to catch a game or go for a night out on the town. They have all the Michigan State and Detroit games, but they're always willing to put on other out of market games for people. It also never disappoints as a great place to go if you're up for a fun night dancing! The staff is cool too. Definitely one of the best places to go in Lincoln Park.

Only for the WIngs

Overall rating:

5 stars for having the red wings game on all tv's, playing the tv audio, and providing an overall enjoyable hockey watching atmosphere. Otherwise, standard beer, sort of surly service, cant comment on the food.

Half Price (strong) Drinks!!!

Everything is NOT 1/2 off on Wednesdays
By RunToEat from Lakeview, June 12, 2008

Overall rating:

According to Tin Lizzie's website, "EVERYTHING is 1/2 off" on Wednesday. I assumed everything meant food and drinks. Apparently the special only applies to drinks. I'm glad the Metromix website is correct, but maybe Tin Lizzie should update theirs! The food and drinks were good but our waitress didn't even think about giving us a small deal on the food or talking to the manager about it.

Best bar in Town
By gregster from Lincoln Park, January 17, 2008

Overall rating:

I frequent the "Tin" on a weekly basis and have to say its service and friendly wait staff are some of the best in town and it’s what keeps me coming back. It’s always a nice atmosphere but never too crowed where you can’t move. i.e. Mad River. Nothing is more annoying then having to wait 15 minutes to get a Bud. Not to mention that K-Hill is mostly the hottest server in the 773…..mostly.

I spent New Years Eve...

I spent New Years Eve here and I really enjoyed it. For a bar it was def. above average and the bartenders were very generous with the drinks. I'll be back for sure.
