It may look like just another bar but the food menu will impress. they even offer tasty vegan options.

Good drinks, great music...what more can ya ask for from a bar & venue in the Corktown section of Detroit? Located about a mile west of Downtown Detroit on Michigan Avenue, PJs Lager House has a unique feel and has played host to some of Detroits finest musical acts and artists. Theyre also a well known venue for national bands & musicians traveling through Michigan. Its definitely worth checking their website to see whos playing and making the trip!

The place serves big portions and for convenient prices. very welcoming employees. Keep it up.

I had the most amazing cream of mushroom soup today and a nice craft beer... and great company...it was very enjoyable.

This was an interesting pub, oddly enough I got to walk the whole downstairs....think the only place I didnt get in was the girls bathroom and the kitchen!!!!For a down town setting this is youthful place, has a very strong college town feel to it. Not so much downtown. Which is very nice, had some good onion rings... Didnt eat much more than that..Ooooh and if you plan on. Parking in the back that pot hole is SERIOUSLY deep!!! Thought about dragging the dumpster over it....that puddle is deceivingly deep. Drunk trap.

One of my top locations for bar food. Honestly my favorite evening place. The staff was very helpful and observant. The bill was reasonable.

Stopped by PJs on a rainy Saturday afternoon and had a few beers. Nice old dive bar. Draft beer selection was ample and service was good. And they are serious about the Covid stuff so bring your mask!!

So much fun! Relaxed atmosphere..very good service..wonderful food!great people place always a good time..

This place was very unique. The first and most important thing is that the food was amazing. I went with a group of at least ten people. We were all served in a decent time. I ordered the fried pickles and they were definitely hand breaded and phenomenal. The onion rings were also made in house and were great. All the food served was very good. This place also has a stage for live music and a little record store in the basement. Very cool place. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

Despite what Google says, theyre open and awesome. My mimosa was so fresh that I found an orange seed, which is a compliment and NOT a complaint.

The most fun place..great food too! Friendly staff..legendary place..its cool

Nice, clean little dive bar. Staff was super friendly. Went for street beet vegan taco hell which was great.

Dont let the folding tables and hard rocker decor detour you from trying out this place. Came for brunch and had the shrimp and grits. It was excellent! The fried grits triangles smothered in the Cajun cream sauce was both delicious and original.This place also have great vegan and vegetarian options.

This edgy bar was a great place for lunch. Went there on a Saturday and their brunch was amazing. The corned beef hash was probably the best I have ever had. All their food was very flavorful. I hear their sandwiches are also to die for... wouldnt expect amazing food from a lager house, but I would recommend.

We here in late March to grab a few drinks and some food before the Wings-Lightning game. We had amazing service (Paul rocks!) and amazing food. I was especially happy that the variety of food included a few Vegan options! Photo features the Vegan PoBoy...DELICIOUS!!

Great staff... they need your support.

Really cool bar! Came here to see Van William and had dinner/drinks before. I tried the vegan po’boy and it was delicious! The staff was friendly and funny.

So good to be back. Jonny and Chuck are the best.

Super Cool Jack of all dive bars w great live music- a performance space- good old bones- Vegan options here are delicious and heard their Brunch is Savage on weekends but lines will be Stout like the beer ;p solid recommend

Shrimp po boy was really good and the staff was very friendly.

Quirky. A really interesting dive bar with live music, better than divey food, odd decor and quirky personalities. The food was seriously better than expected but the service was famously awful. The kitchen had one person working in it and there was only one bartender. No wait staff, no assistants. Oh well, the food was great and I had a nice time. Keep an open mind and you will be okay.

Fun down-town bar with a variety of beers. Was super pleased to find a sour beer at a cheap price and amazed at their delicious vegan friendly menu. Ill be back often.

Quirky dive bar. PJs offers everything a dive bar should and more. It has live music and a huge vinyl collection in the basement. Definitely an experience to close down that bar.

Love this place and the people. As of this post they are back open!

Nice little bar with a great brunch especially after Techno Movement weekend. Plus they have nice record store for the vinyl enthusiast.Normally a great burger and drink spot also

Took an hour and a half to get the most boring egg plate in the city. Limited brunch menu at 2pm?! Good news? Server was nice.

Great experience! Live music in the back, and a vinyl / vintage store below. Very unique spot for excellent local beer.

Had the pleasure of seeing Jeffrey Lewis and the Voltage perform here! A very compact, intimate venue with a record store in the basement. Amazing food! Great place for a fun night out

Cool dive bar with food that is better than you would expect. Quirky place with cheap drinks and good music. Highly recommended

Delicious burgers!

Quite intersting bar, excelent for rock lovers

PJs is awesome. Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Love the tofu bahn mi is my favorite and I highly recommend it.

Very cool venue to catch a live show and have a beer in Detroit. I had a burger here and I instantly wanted another and if you get noisey check out the small shop they have below and check out the vinylsProperty Features Public Restrooms Trash Bins Food Served Here Rentable Scooters Occasionally Nearby Live Shows/Shows Not Allowed Inside

Secret favourite. Korean Corned Beef Hash is ridiculously delicious.

One thing I love about this place is that it is divided into two rooms: the bar and the band room. So when you are in the bar, you can hear the band, but it is not too loud. The band side is pretty small so it always feels full.

Fun place to meet friends and have a cold beer. The food is good too!!

PJs is great. 58 friendly. And the Guinness is the right temp

Dig the atmosphere!

Low key. Head bands sometimes. If your looking for a fancy or top shelf drink, this aint it. But you can get drunk for the low.

Big thanks to Craig for making our dining experience awesome! We came from Texas to visit a friend, we called a couple of places to make sure they were vegan but to our surprise 3 out of the 4 restaurants we stopped at closed their kitchen(s) early. A fact which would have been good to know before we stopped in and when we called *apparently kitchens in MI close early if it’s slow. Nevertheless we called PJ’s lager house and they said they were open! So my family of 6 stopped in at 11:38 pm for some vegan food and boy were we relieved to get any food at all. We order the Guinness battered onion rings- they were huge enough for two people! The Mac and cheese, although I am not a fan of blue cheese, an ingredient PJ’s uses in their Mac n cheese I could not stop eating it! It was balanced quite nicely. The Cajun cheese sticks, the vegan queso (as a side) the flavorwas incredible, the texture needed a bit of work it wasn’t velvety like most queso, but flavor wise it was good with a nice peppery kick. The VBLT on wheat which was great the tempeh was cooked great paired with the fresh veggies created a nice balance. The fried pickles were amazing- it was something about the way the Guinness brought a nice airy quality to the what would be dense batter typical fried foods as well as added a depth of flavor to the pickles! Craig was truly the hero of the night we left fat and happy!Jasmine B.The Art Institute of DallasCulinary Food Club, President

Fantastic place for a show, dinner or just to hang. The staff is excellent, food is great! Highly recommend PJs.

This joint is pretty much like walking into the coolest friends house with decent pours, good food at a super fair price to portion ... and there’s sweet live music almost ALL the time! Go early, grab drinks - eats and laughs. It’s easy to hang out, and just keep the fun rollin’ into the night with a great cross-cut of live bands. All the way from Detroit original acts to, supporting the diehard road-warrior bands, which gains my respect. This venue also sports a vinyl/thrift shop downstairs in the basement. So be sure to check it out, there’s lots of hidden gems to call your own to sift through if you just need to take a break from being upstairs at the club. Vinyl is not dead, and PJs has you covered! Usually there is a cover/door charge, usually after happy hour. Mostly this door charge is to support the live bands for the night! It’s important to note, PJ’s also throws down many fundraising events and community based activities in this well rounded local hangout. Be sure to hit the sweet beer garden area out back and get your photo taken by the iconic red -white and blue, Wayne Kramer MC5 mural .... and don’t forget to#tag that action ... cause PJs pretty much IS what “Detriot Rock City” was founded on....showcasing local talent and still keeping us happy with great food, drinks, and cool vinyl collection, but most of all ... a welcoming neighborhood feel. This is an interesting. place to land for a few hours when your around the area.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place to death! I have been a patron here well over a decade. Its one of my favorite places in the D! Amazing live shows! Make sure to buy some records from their record shop downstairs.

Worst customer service. Had to leave before even ordering food because not only the bartender was extremely rude but the waitress too.. smh

Nice little divey bar in Corktown. The staff was a little standoffish until we got to know them. Thats the only reason for the loss of a star. I was ready to rate this place one star upon first impression but they managed to redeem themselves. Fries are pretty darn good too. Check it out!

Funky old time Detroit bar. I was lucky enough to be there when the rapper Lando Chill was in town. Nice show ... particularly because my son played guitar and keyboards. Their national tour continues in Indiana tomorrow. Catch em

Oh man, i love this place! Ive only been here twice and both times were to see MC Chris. The house was packed from door to door and was still a great time! Drink prices are great, bartenders are friendly and sassy (in great ways)!

Day time bartender was awesome and I would give her 5 stars, however my overall experience is balanced at a 3 due to the night server that was inhospitable and rude.

Attended the street beet popup for Vegan tacos. Food was great! Had to wait 2 hours for a table and three were wall to wall people the entire time. Service was actually reasonable under the circumstances and every one was pleasant.

Both vegan and gluten free options and great, friendly service.

Just ate at the Taco Hell vegan pop up. Fantastic food and service! Love going to shows here as well.

One of the best bars in detroit. Also vegan everything always. Love u pj!

Great Vegan brunch options. Best brunch spot. PJ is just a good-hearted one-of-a-kind individual. Its a bar thats been there since the bad times... and its got a record shop in the basement. Great sounds for live bands.

Great place for music and food.

I went to P.Js cuz they served vegan food and it was close to the hotel. Its basically a dive bar that consists of two rooms - the bar and another space that has a stage for live music and a ping-pong table. (!) I ordered a vegan Po Boy sandwich with what were supposed to be Cajun fries but I think I got regular fries instead. Overall, not bad. I was thankful for the vegan grub and I had a local brew to boot that was decent. Plus, I got in a few rounds of table tennis with the bar tender and another patron so an evening well spent.

Great Vegan food at a great price.

Very personal, great food, and talk about a draft selection!

One of the best places to see excellent musicians in Detroit. from local garage bands to nationally known talent. PJs is a must visit when traveling to the D.

This was our first time at PJs. Wow! Just wow. I am familiar with the Toledo Ohio music bar scene and this is on par, and above, with the best places I have been in. While waiting we had some food. It was not just random bar food. They ended up being known for their cajun foods. I got the blackened catfish poboy and my wife had the black and blue burger. Both came served with fantastic fries. I could not stop bragging about my sammich to my wife. It was the best bar/pub sammich I have ever had. I tasted my wifes burger, that was cooked to a perfect medium like she asked, and it was great. The bar staff was fast and the beer selection was abundant, both bottles and drafts. I would definitely recommend this place for food to anyone driving through Detroit.By the time our friends band was ready to play we were full of good food and ready for great music. The band, One Ton Trolley, did not let us down. And the in house sound guy did not let me down either. His in house sound level mix was fantastic. And if you listen to enough bar bands, like I have, you come to appreciate a great in house sound guy. Kudos to PJs sound dude! I would definitely recommend this place for both the excellent food and live local music.

Classic small pub. Intimate and wild corners with lots of stories to be had

I love this place. Good company and great beer selection. Frequently hosts live, local music which is tons of fun.

Great music. Three acts for a $10.00 cover; any one of them would have been worth the cover on their own

I was iffy about going here Saturday night for a collection of local Punk rock band performances but Im so glad I did. The excitement picked up as the night went on and being someone new to the punk scene I wasnt exactly sure how to enjoy myself. But after a generous a** serving of bourbon on the rocks from the bar I knew exactly what the hell I was doing. I enjoyed everything from the trippy art on the walls and ceilings to the throwback resale shop in the basement. I was wrong to think Id meet an exclusively white crowd. People of all ages, colors, and genders were here enjoying the night. I will definitely be back.

One of the best venues for live music in the city

Good drinks. Nice atmosphere. Great bands.

Very very very cool chill spot. Friendly staff drinks that will awaken your taste buds

Really good food, great beer and nice atmosphere. The Airbnb on the top floor was cosy but warm. We got an extra AC when we arrived but it was still a bit hot when we leaved. Hopefully it is enough if it can be left running for a few days.

Vegan taco hell was really good and I’m not a vegan.

I am super impressed with the food at PJs! I always thought it was just a cool dive bar, but the brunch was stellar! I recommend the shrimp & grits or the vegan biscuits & gravy. The service is what youd expect for a dive bar, so manage expectations for how long it takes.

Had a burger and beer here. Burger was great, staff was friendly. Would highly recommend. Too bad the show I was going to see here was cancelled.

PJs is exactly what you put into it. Im somewhat new but show my face enough that the bartenders know me. I love that the staff will chat with you about who knows what. Theres always cool music playing and PJ is often roaming about. I come at least once a week for beers, often with food. Food is always good and exactly what I expected. Tonight they had a Dr. Sushi pop up. It was nice to swap a sandwich for a ramen bowl.Order at the bar and keep it simple. Beer, shots or classic cocktails.

Saw Downtown Brown.Loved the intimate crowded atmosphere for an exclusive Xmas show

More than just bar food. Great tasty vegan options, solid drinks and you leave full and happy. Brunch is great but get there early bc they do run out!

One of the best local bars in old Corktown district near downtown Detroit off of Michigan Avenue. A great place to see bands of all genres and have a good drink or ten!

I was just passing through and enjoyed my visit.

If you are a local, then you will enjoy PJs. The bartenders arent there to impress you with fancy flower drinks, but will make you strong ones that are paired with good conversation. The Street Beet Vegan Pop-ups are great (get there an hour early though to get a seat), and there is always enough space to sit with a large family or group of friends!

Great Detroit music venue. If you like live entertainment go here. If you like playing live music you should play here. Attentive bar staff and always courteous when I have been here. Great beer and food choices.

Nice vibe, nice staff, you can even sit and kick it with the owner about the history of the building or anything else for that matter. Service is great, friendly, and fast. Food is okay, but they have interesting pop up dinners by chef chefs. Nice beers on tap and bottled. Some local brews.

A boring hipster haven, if you want to go somewhere to have a bartender judge you this is the one!

I love pj lagers. If you are looking for a place with awesome local bands, cheap drinks, and full of cool and interesting people, this is your place. They have an awesome patio where you can take a break from jamming out to sweet music and have a smoke if thats your thing. They also have a really cool record store in the basement. If you are hungry, they have pretty decent food as well. Its always a blast coming here.

Came here on a Sunday evening pretty chill environment not to loud good food unfortunately no band playing tonight ill have to come back another day but drinks are cheap $7 For a Hendricks gin and tonic, its a pretty small place a locals bar would i come here again... yes.... would i bar hop with a date here.... yes.

A super fun neighborhood dive bar, nothing fancy but the bartender was great and all the patrons were super friendly, the food looked great. I will definitely be coming back.

Casual place we had breakfast at with good vegan options. Our breakfast wasnt huge and took a while to come out but tasted good and the bloody Marys were very good.

Great food and sounds. Good smoking patio. Food isnt the cheapest but it is awesome.

Tried the vegan Paczki and they were horrible and not to mention highly over priced. The bar tender was very rude and helped numerous patrons ahead of me even though I was there first and had been patiently waiting. I didnt even get an apology.

Great bar food. Several craft beers. Good burgers. Fun crowd.

Great concert venue with an intimate feel.

Love this place. Its really nice to be able to go see a band, get a great beer and eat vegan food. Brunch is awesome. It has a cozy atmosphere. We love seeing bands here but for the love of god get a new sound guy!

Nice place, good beers and live music. Wasnt a dive bar but wasnt an annoying fancy place.

Its pjs, nothing spectacular aside from the sign that says dont spit on the floor and Donna who lives in the basement. I wouldnt suggest going in for brunch but would recommend the blackened catfish po boy.

Interesting array of live music with fun bartenders.

Really cool place! Great food and awesome live music

Great food live music

The vegan biscuits and gravy are unbelievable

True Detroit dive bar with good food and live music at night

Pretty solid food and cool speakeasy vibe. Be sure to let the waitstaff know if you need to be speedy as they give you plenty of space to relax. Good burgers, the Cajun fries are definitely spicy, just like the history of the place!

Great selection of NA drinks!

Great classic Detroit music bar. What you may not know is that they have excellent vegetarian options in addition to yummy pub selections! This meat eater LOVES their tempeh Po Boys and Reubens.

Great vegan options, reasonably priced food and drinks. Great location and interior. Love the back patio. The brunch seems to have gone downhill just a bit, but maybe I went on an off day. Love this place.

I love coming here. The bar staff is all really nice and outgoing. They have live music here quite often. They offer a small menu as well. Always meet new and exciting people hereml.
