I work downtown and love to experience different places for lunch. I enjoyed a delicious Checker Burger and fries, great price, especially for downtown.(Add- Sep.24′) I stopped in again for a quick lunch – I was greeted by one of the nicest waitresses (Kim), be sure to stop in and say hi to her… be certain to tip her well. She even posed for my updated photos.

I went for lunch. I ordered a personal (small) BBQ chicken pizza. It was SO good! It was thin crust, extra cheesy, and the bread was sweet. It was big enough for two people. It’s a little spot, but it’s super cute inside. The lunch rush came in right around 1230pm. There’s a full bar. It’s definitely worth stopping in!

A friend and I came in for the Rotten Route Event. Upon arrival, it was unique in its decor. Upstairs has an arcade. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try these burgers, I’ve heard so much about them. We only came in for a drink before leaving on the bus. Service was fast, prices were fair, and drinks were just right! I will be back to try a burger for sure!

This place is so awesome! There are two floors that you can go back and forth. Bars are on both floors. The top floor has TONS of vintage arcade games and tables to eat at as well. There are even little tables set up throughout the floor, so you have a place to set your food and drink while you play! This place probably has every game you can think of! The staff were friendly, attentive, and kind. The food was 10/10. Ordered pizza, chicken parm sandwich, and the garlic knots. Will most definitely be back!

Fun dive bar with surprisingly good food! I got the burger and cheese sticks, but the pizza looked incredible (as the waitress kept serving them to other patrons).
At night, the upstairs appears to be for a younger crowd and louder and the downstairs was more for a family crowd.

Came in for the first time for a burger because I heard it was a good spot. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. The burgers I believe are frozen not fresh which gives you a tastless burger. It wasn’t seasoned only thing that was seasoned was the fries. I got a double cheeseburger and the bacon was undercooked patties bland. Onion still has the outside skin on it and the tomato wasn’t ripe and they just chopped a huge slice and put it on the burger. Honestly would’ve rather made my own.

Checker Bar used to be a great dive bar, but they are currently transforming into a bar that’s not so “divey”.
Still a great atmosphere. Great location. And the staff is friendly. Depending on which bartender you get they also have a detailed knowledge of the drinks available. Still a great place to grab a pizza or go upstairs to grab some slices and have some fun.

Nice low key spot.. I read that they had a arcade and gold food so I wanted to try it. My son and I went around 3:00 pm on a Monday and it wasn’t many people in there. I didn’t know the arcade was closed on Monday’s so that was a bummer. Overall we enjoyed ourselves. We’ll be back.. when the arcade is open!

I would’ve enjoyed it more if the fries wasn’t as hard & burnt up.. they burned them down and threw powder sugar on it that didn’t help, the burger was solid, but wish it wasn’t over cooked. Overall 3/5 only because i been here before and the food was better, but today wasn’t it. Kind of mad i spent my money on it. Just make sure yall look at before you leave on the takeout side.
Had to stop by again & give it another try, This time they definitely Didn’t disappoint, the owner reached out and was very thorough on helping me out Next time I came in I came in tonight and it was great. Can’t wait to dig in. That’s why I have to change my order to the five star they do they due diligence and make sure that customers are very satisfied. Thank you guys@ checker Bar!

It’s your typical watering hole that the locals love to hang out at. But, if you want a really good burger downtown Detroit, this is the place to get one.
