Came here to see a live band. The band was excellent (Just Joe-Ken) and the kitchen was only serving burgers so I had one and it was great. I would definitely come back when the kitchen re-opens. It took a long time to get someone to serve us even a drink, just because I wasn’t standing exactly where they would see me for a drink?! Unless you’re a regular, no one would know ‘where to get a drink’. So we day at a table and waited for a staff member to notice us! Strange set up. But a cool little bar. I’ll go back.

Excellent food! Menu is just right, enough variety and not overdone
The service was quick and friendly, greeted as soon as you open the door! I’ve had their burgers before and they are fresh, thick and juicy! Today I had the pleasure of enjoying the fish! Perfectly cooked! I’m definitely coming back

great bar. cool merch. they pour a perfect Guinness here. I always split the G here but they refuse to give me the beer for free. I still pay for it obviously. I always pay. but deep down I believe they owe me hundreds of dollars worth of beer. but I still pay because I love this bar. fries need salt.

Burgers like my father made when I was a kid. Massive patty of good ground beef from a local packing house (Rex’s Packing House). You can even order Nemo’s blend there according to the staff. Staff is super friendly. Atmosphere is lively but comforting. I will be back. Comfort for a wary traveler.

If you’re looking for a no-frills, classic Detroit experience, look no further than Nemo’s Bar. This charming hole-in-the-wall is the epitome of old-school hospitality, and it serves up some of the best comfort food you’ll find in the city.
First off, the atmosphere is unbeatable. It’s cozy, unpretentious, and filled with character—a true neighborhood gem where you can kick back with friends or strike up a conversation with friendly locals. The walls tell a story, adorned with Detroit sports memorabilia that perfectly complements the lively, welcoming vibe.
Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal. The burgers are the star of the show: perfectly cooked, juicy, and loaded with flavor. Pair one with their crispy fries or golden onion rings, and you’ve got yourself a meal that feels like pure comfort. If you’re a seafood lover, the fish and chips are a must-try. Light, flaky, and fried to perfection, it’s the kind of dish that leaves you craving another bite even when you’re full.
Nemo’s doesn’t try to be fancy, and that’s what makes it so special. It’s a place where the food speaks for itself, the drinks flow freely, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re a Detroit native or just passing through, Nemo’s is a spot you absolutely can’t miss. Five stars, all the way!

Burger was good. The chili was great. The history of the building and the staff were really great.

Hmm disappointing! We were recommended to go here… $15 for a very very average burger out of a Bain Marie. Cold bun with crisps … patty was ok.
Cool bar, service was good. A one drink and move on…. Don’t go for the food.

This place has been here since 1965! A staple in Detroit for sports fans. When the Lions were having their pre-season they have a bus that picks you up there and will drop you back off. Just need to speak with someone working there to access them. We were staying right across the street at the Godfrey. Surprisingly I have not visited before, but we figured since it was literally across the street, we would check it out. The drinks and service were pretty good, not a ton of food options but that was not an issue, being we already had breakfast.
