Art & Jakes Sports Bar & Grill Northville: Your Go-To Spot for Great Food and Sports

Great sports bar atmosphere. With outdoor seating options. Usually the wait is less than 10 mins. It is quite loud inside, but easy to talk outside. The shots are a little pricey, but are on point (green tea). The real runaway thing about this place is the food. I've tried several things on the menu and they have all been great. Fire cracker salmon, meatloaf, and the Italian grinder thing are fantastic.

This is a great sports bar with great service. I was impressed with the variety of food. The only negative (or more weird i would say) experience was that I got a dish that said it came with “sauteed spinach” and i got one leaf. Just found that bizarre.

My wife and I were fans of the Washington Twp location, but living in Redford we didn't get out there as much as we'd have liked to, so we were excited when we found out a new location was opening far closer to us in Northville. I can safely say after two visits in as many weeks it has not disappointed at all. We first went on Sat. 9/30 at around lunchtime and liked what we saw; spacious interior with lots of seating of all kinds: low top, high top and booths. The booths are especially spacious, and I can see seating three people side by side on each side very easily in one booth. Lots of TVs of course and they do Club Keno also. We were seated indoors but the weather that day was nice so their patio with fireplaces was open also and looked like a very inviting space. We perused the extensive menus for both food and drink; the Mrs landed on a Tito's Tropical and I had a tall Sam Adams Octoberfest. Sam was our waitress and was very personable; nice and helpful and answered all our questions. Lunchwise we couldn't quite decide with so many choices so we decided to share the Meat Lovers pizza; so good! We had enough to take home for later, so if prices seem high to some people, I can assure you the quality and portions are price-appropriate. We were very happy with the first visit and decided to return the next weekend with our son for his birthday. On Sun. 10/8 the three of us visited again and Sam was once again our waitress, a nice surprise and she remembered us from the weekend before. For drinks the son had a Strawberry Spiked Lemonade, the Mrs had a Peach on the Beach and I tried the Bel-Air; all three were very good. The son wanted an appetizer so we shared the burnt ends ... soooooo good, very tender with a sweet sauce and a hint of heat, served with a garlic baguette. This time the Mrs had the chicken fajitas for lunch, I had the Smokey River BBQ burger and rocket fries and the son had the chicken parm grinder ... we were impressed once again at the quality and portions. My wife didn't finish hers only because she was full, and I can easily see two people sharing the chicken parm grinder, its that substantial. Management went the extra mile here as well, as they noticed the lettuce for my wife's fajitas didn't look so good before they brought it out, so they made sure to replace it before service and everything was great. The son got regular fries with the grinder, which were battered and crispy, and the rocket fries are wedges with a sweet/heat dry rub that was tasty. The burger was made to my order, medium well and was great. There was no room for dessert even though they do look very good as well. We left very satisfied with everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere and we'll definitely be back.
