Firebird Tavern: Reviews & Ratings

*EDIT: The owner did reach out to me to apologize and offer cleaning/replacements for my clothing. They also spoke with the staff to make a training and learning lesson for them which I appreciate. I'm changing my rating of the experience based on Owen's response, as most owners do not attempt to rectify a bad situation. I have never had an experience as bad as the one I just had at Firebird Tavern. Needless to say I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. The visit started well and our server was very pleasant and attentive. Halfway through our visit, a full tray of drinks and shots was spilled on me to the point that a mop was needed and a wet floor signed was placed behind me. Not only that, but my white shirt is stained and not reparable. I was soaked. The server eventually did apologize to me and told me that she was personally comping ONE of my drinks. First of all, I would NEVER expect the server to comp any drinks. Second of all, I was never approached by the manager to access the damage or talk about comps, WHICH I would assume from the establishment itself. When we were brought our bill, I asked the server, 'what is the establishment taking care of for my damages'. The manager eventually came to talk to me and did not seem aware of the situation, even after many servers explained what happened and I showed him my clothing that was still wet and stained. He simply replied that the server was comping one drink and he would see what he could do. The server came back with the same bill, no initiative from the bar or manager and I paid for the bill as it was. How is this acceptable from a bar that my table paid several rounds of drinks and food for the night? I have never experienced this lack of care in my life and cannot express my disappointment and frustration with the management and overall experience of Firebird. What an embarrassment to our city. As a resident of the downtown area, I would never expect such a terrible experience.

Mrs. Fluffy and I had a nice meal here before a show. We got here early so didn't experience the "pre-show rush". The food was excellent. Ingredients were fresh and Mrs. Bunny felt her salad was the best she's ever had in a bar (she's an old bunny so that means a lot). Drink were excellent and service was speedy. There is really not much to say about except that it was a bit loud. Thankfully, it was less-loud when the loud people left. (Just be normal, peeps). Anyway, I have to give Firebird 5 stars. Even the bathroom was impressive (by human standards). Well done. Hop on- Fluffy

Really cool place to grab a drink. Food menu was unique which really pulled us in to staying. Turkey Burnt ends were good but the sliders and pretzel were average run of the mill.

Good food, descent service, and a nice venue. Overall the location is great and we enjoyed our time. Wish the food was a little better for the cost, but you can't expect everything to be perfect.

Lunchtime in the tavern?! Why not! Best lil Southwest Chicken Salad this side of the Mississippi! The spicy ranch is de-lish and packs a real kick. Warm marinated slices of chicken served on a bed of healthy, substantial greens.

I came here with friends for dinner before a night out on the town. We didn't have a reservation, but got there around 5pm on a Thursday and were able to be seated right away. We made it in time for happy hour, so we were able to get half off craft beers, wine, and Tito's drinks, and they had $5 small plates available. For my meal, I went with wings (not a happy hour special) and the loaded fries (one of the $5 small plate options). They were both good! The waitress was attentive and nice, and our food was served quickly. It was a good spot to start our night!

What a pleasant surprise! I went here to feed myself before the Yelpies and I didn't expect much but I saw a good segment on the food they had at the tavern and everything sounded good so I went. Everything I had was good from the drinks to the food. There was a good mix of items to choose from elevated food like the bahn mi bowl to regular bar food like the pretzels. The bahn mi bowl was super fresh with awesome pork belly and was better than anything I've had eating out in a while. The drinks were well made. The maple bacon old fashioned was different but strong. I recommend this place for sure if you're in Greektown and need a place for eats and drinks.

12/10 This place was amazing! We decided to attempt dinner and drinks before the Taylor swift concert 6/10/23 and didn't even know they were doing a whole swifty takeover! They played her music, had decorations, a themed menu! Honestly so smart I was so impressed. I love when places really just embrace stuff like this. The themed cocktail menu was amazing - the lavender haze drink was so good! The Taylor's version chicken sandwich was great too. The staff was incredible, really on top of the crowd and kept up great and all with smiles on and genuinely seemed in good moods! I know this was a very specific experience but I'd be comfortable still recommending this place in general!
