Great place if you love dancing. It doesn’t start till 9-10pm and usually goes till 2am. You can really get a great workout out sweating it up on the dance floor. That’s for sure. Staff is always nice and friendly. But sometimes it’s a little busy and crowded to get in line and wait for a drink , but that’s to be expected at any busy bar. They also throw a lot of themed dance parties that are just so fun. Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a five-star experience in a zero-pretension place, this dive bar is your new holy ground. Sophia’s drinks are strong enough to make your ex look like a good idea again, and the atmosphere? Think of “your best friend’s basement” but with better lighting and less risk of stepping on a rogue LEGO.
Now let’s talk about the REAL MVP of the place – Sophia] (aka the bartender with the most). She’s got the drink-making skills of a wizard and the attentiveness of a golden retriever who just heard the word “treat.” She somehow remembers everyone’s favorite drink, their dog’s name, and probably what you did last weekend (even if you don’t).
Whether you’re a regular or just passing through, she’ll make you feel like you belong—like in the show “Cheers”, but with cheaper – priced beer and better music. If you’re lucky, she might even sass you a little… all in good fun though
Bottom line is – great drinks, unbeatable vibe, and a bartender who deserves a raise, a crown, and maybe a national holiday named after her.

Service was fantastic. We went during Happy Hour and it was $1 off all drinks. The bar appeared to be clean and there were lots of things to do, but the smell of a port-a-potty hits you as soon as you walk in. (They have actual bathrooms!!)

Such a great spot to spend with friends; they do not have food but a great variety of drinks and a bunch of games (such as pool, darts, etc). Staff is great as well. The music is terrific and the atmosphere is beyond this world.
Adding that the dance floor opens up and the DJ plays fantastic music.

Great New Year Eve visit. Great bar with prompt, friendly service, & reasonable drinks. We watched them transform quickly from a darts & pool setting to a boisterous & fun club scene, while still taking great care of the patrons. We had fun & will be back!
No rating on the food, as we did not partake.

Stopped in on a friday evening. Not very crowded and two people working. Male staff was hustling around stocking or something. Female bartender served one person then chatted with a group while i waited at the bar. After 10 min a group of 3 or 4 women came in, obviously friendly with the bartender and she immediately served them so i left. I did have 3 friends meeting me so it was nice that i was able to see how terrible the service was going to be and we could go elsewhere.

Nice bar with a great vibe to it. Drinks were surprisingly cheap, and service was great. Despite being on the cheaper side the drinks where well made and strong

I had the pleasure of being served by Sophia at Thumbs Up, and I can honestly say she’s one of the best bartenders I’ve ever encountered. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and welcoming energy that immediately set the tone for a great night.
Sophia is not only incredibly friendly but also highly skilled. She crafted my drink with care and precision—and even made some spot-on recommendations based on what I like. You can tell she really knows her cocktails and takes pride in her work.
What stood out most was her attentiveness. Even when the bar got busy, she stayed calm, professional, and made sure everyone was taken care of without skipping a beat. She balances efficiency with a genuinely personable approach, which made the whole experience feel more like hanging out with a friend than just grabbing a drink.
Thumbs Up is lucky to have her—Sophia brings the perfect blend of talent, charm, and hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I hope she’s behind the bar when I do!

It is very nice place. We didn’t eat. Stopped to watch the football game as Michigan fans. They made it happen so we could watch the game and we’re very friendly. Nice clean place. Highly recommend
