What People Are Saying About Sweet Water Tavern

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – Sweetwater Tavern resides in a distinctive turn-of-the-century Victorian-style building near the heart of Greektown. The lunchtime rush is one of the most furious in town, with businesspeople shuffling in to sample some of the best barbecue in town. Sandwiches are affordable and portions are generous. However, in order to truly appreciate this restaurant, you must sample the ribs. Tasty Stroh's ice cream is available for dessert.

Great tip from local! Had great food!

Found this place by our hotel after a local suggested it to us!

Some of the best wings I've had! I got the wings and rib combo and both were superb! Wings were meaty and well-flavored. For those of you used to going to places w/ dozens of sauces to choose from - you do not get that choice here - but we didn't care because it was great!

Two others in our party got pitas - and they loved it too!

Will definitely go back next time I am in downtown Detroit!

  • Pros: Wings, Ribs, Pitas
