The High Dive

"*first timer here* The atmosphere was VERY cool! I liked the energy and the decorations were lovely. I don’t know if I came on a busy night or something but the drinks weren’t great. I haven’t gone out in awhile so I kept it simple and ordered a margarita. It was mostly ice, tequila, and a splash of the sours or something because there wasn’t much and it tasted like tequila and ice. It was $15 in a small plastic cup. The dance floor was really cool with nice lighting. The service at the bar wasn’t that great though. I see whoever responds to comments for bar wants to come at negative comments here aggressively so before I say this, I worked in bars for years so I understand customers being rude and such. I understand being slammed busy too. But, I was nothing but polite and he kept skipping over me until a customer had to say “she’s been waiting a long time” he then took my order for another Marg but a little rudely said he was too busy to make it- no time for any drinks in the shaker. He looked at me like I had asked for his leg or something. I didn’t know you could only order very simple drinks at that time. No where did it say limited bar options on Friday night at 11-12pm unless I am wrong then please correct me. Overall, it was alright. I like the ambience and the community. But, I would check that they are serving stuff at the bar if you would like to drink and don’t order a margarita whatever you do ): I would give it another chance based on everything else though (:"

"Entering the The High Dive is like being transported to the Victorian Era. The cocktail parlor is filled with stained glass, Victorian fixtures and hand crafted wall paper. The owner/bar tender is a world renowned artist who has poured his heart into this establishment and it shows. The cocktails are delicious and they use fresh ingredients. The drinks are also reasonably priced. Most nights The High Dive is supporting local artist and DJ's and has some of the best techno nights. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend stopping in for a drink or checking out one of their events."

"Small place, but I come here for one lovely event.... GLOTAKU. They did start off with free water and switched to two dollars per. I get it. But also meh. Hence my 4 stars and not 5. Venue has a back porch area which is nice. Reasonable size bathrooms considering the size of the overall venue."

"The venue has an awesome set up. The energy of the night was amazing and all the people were super cool. They even had someone in the bathroom to pass you a towel for drying hands. The only reason this venue didn't get 5 starts is how extremely overpriced the drinks were. $4 for a bottle of water that typically comes in a case for the same amount is ridiculous."

"A really great bar and club in Hamtrammick. I came down here for Detroit Techno and to see WYLDCAT play. The bouncer, bartender, and staff were really cool people. The bar had a good selection and everyone was really nice. I would recommend coming here anytime for a show or just a good time."
