Review from Edward L.

Great sports bar. Hi-def tvs located on every imaginable surface in that place. Leads to an easy viewing experience for whatever event you are there for.
Friendly (and patient) staff led us to have a great time there. Cold beer and great atmosphere.
The only real negative that led to one less star was the wait time for our food to be served. Expect a relatively long wait for food to come out...
Other than that, drink up and have a great time. -

-For the Berkley area, this is the best option for a sports bar
-decent beer list
-great service at the rail
-great lunch service
-pretty decent food for a sports bar (except for the nachos, those can use some improvement)
-good setup downstairs, nice option to hang out outside on the porch upstairs.
-good drink specials
-beer can be warm at times...especially at bar upstairs
-the cook can be seen, at times, smoking like a chimney in front of the bar (12-mile). I'm not a huge fan of seeing the person cooking my food, smoking right in front of me. If that "larger" person is not the cook, I would suggest he find another place to take his smoke break.
All in all, a pretty good place to hang out, watch a game, get some lunch. -

Ended up here when the Berkley Front was full last week for a late dinner. I've always wanted to check this place out but I was worried it would be packed if a game was on. Turns out we showed up during a Redwings game, and we were able to snag a table before it got to be too busy.
The ambiance is nice, there's some cool memorabilia on the walls and it is a pretty great place to watch a game. My husband ordered beef fajitas and I ordered the salmon asparagus salad. He said his was 'good' but nothing amazing - mine was actually pretty good considering the price was only 12.99. The salmon was slightly over cooked but otherwise the salad had a nice flavor and it was a pretty big size for the price.
I'm not sure if there was a drink special going on, but I was shocked when we got our bill and my well gin and sodas were only $2. And they weren't weak by any means. Pretty good deal. But the drink prices pretty much evened out when my husbands Guinness came to 6.50. Granted they were bigger than a pint.
I'll certainly go back again, if only for the cheap drinks, but there were a few other things on the menu that I'd also like to give a try. -

Great sports bar! TV's everywhere, including upstairs on their outdoor patio where they have another bar. Prices are very good and they have game day specials for all the local teams so it's hard to pay full price for anything.
I'm not a huge fan of pizza, but I'm the minority on that and I hear it's great. The other menu items are hit and miss. Their grinders are very good as well as their dips. -

This place is perfect for any game. The food is well above average for "bar food", and there's not a single seat that doesn't have a good view of a TV.
Also, in the summer, it's one of only a few "outdoor" bars around with the entire rooftop deck opened up (with a bar, bathrooms, and more TV's up there). -

Good for a game , but may not get your team on the tv if the Detroit teams are playing that night. Service is hit or miss.

This is a great place to grab a beer and watch a game. It also has above average food in my opinion. The rooftop deck is also a nice touch.
I have had a few things on the menu and all were great. The nachos are huge and really good. I always go with the chicken. It is grilled and has that smokey taste to it that comes through in the nachos. The regular comes on a pizza tray, more than enough for 3 or 4 people to share.
They have a great selection of sandwiches as well. Anything with their BBQ sauce on it will be good. Great place overall... -

And I am being Generous.
We stopped in an NYE.
Ordered Burgers & Fries
[ The Red Coat Tavern was closed ]
The Burger was "DRY" and lacked anything close to flavor
The bun exceeed the size of the burger and was also "DRY"
the Fries tasted like Gordons Frozen Fries
the Bill for 2 burgers & fries and one soup & a Margaritta
was $36
Never Again

Go here pretty regular for pizza and wings, and always find whatever food I get to be pretty great. Good place to see a game if the isn't too jammed, but they usually have enough staff on hand when it is to make sure that you still get served at a decent clip.
Lots of tvs mounted up high, bar games and darts, and rooftop seating in the summer. I would really recommend the pizza, and to ask what the drink specials are on a given night, as they are pretty much always running something and , otherwise, they are maybe a touch spendy.
All in all, a great berkley fixture. -

My fiance and I go here fairly often. I appreciate that on Sundays they tag which games are playing on which TVs so you know right away where your team is playing. I haven't tried the entire menu yet but I've had the nachos, pizza, wings and chili (not all in the same meal!) and they're all really really good. I will actually commit to saying I love their pizza. The veggie burger wasn't bad either (though my fiance wouldn't even try it, not the fault of the bar!)
It's become one of our regular hang out spots. -

It's funny how everything can change in an instant.
I used to consider this the creme de la creme of sports bars in the area but last night, my opinion change quite heavily... I should have seen the writing on the wall when I walked in and spotted a man in head to toe Pittsburgh Steeler gear as soon as we walked in.
Pittsburgh Steeler coat: check
Pittsburgh Steeler hat: check
Pittsburgh Steeler sweatshirt: check
Sense of self worth tied directly into the performance of a professional football team: check
We sat down and were gearing up for our particular college basketball game and some wings and beer. Low and behold, there's music playing over the radio and we came here to watch the game, homey!
We asked if they would turn the sound on the game (a problem no REAL sports bar would ever have) and they told us no. No, the SPORTS bar is not going to turn on the sound to the SPORTING event. Wait... what?
So, we left at halftime and went to another bar where they were more than happy to accomodate our fandom and accept our moola.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Really liked this bar!! Indoor seating is available, but the open air rooftop is the place to be! Drinks here are good and affordably priced. Service was good as well. I did not eat here, but others in my party did and raved about it.

Eh. I keep going here because it's close and decidedly un-repulsive, but that doesn't mean I like it.
The rooftop is fun in the summer, open space, enough tables and TVs. The food is standard bar fare and nothing to get excited about.
Go to Berkley High School? You might feel like it after a Saturday night here... -

24 Seconds is a reasonable sports bar that turns into a regular bar on weekends. Don't go here on a weekend night and expect to be able to hear the game (or even really watch it - it can get really crowded) The food is pretty good, it has some standard bar food, but also some more interesting sandwiches. But once again - it gets crowded on weekend nights, so not a great place for late night eats. They have a really nice rooftop deck with a bar and a couple of TVs. Parking sucks when they are crowded. There is a lot behind the building, but between 24 Seconds and the Berkley Front, it fills up pretty fast; you'll end up parking on the street somewhere.
I would go here for:
-Watching games on the rooftop deck on a summer afternoon
-A bar scene with live bands on the weekend
-A burger and beer on the deck with friends on a weekday evening -

It can be very hit or miss with this place, but I like it-I really do...less douchey than Royal Oak and cheaper than Bham...
For a big game it will get crowded and smokey-FAST...when I was there for MSU v. Cal football game last fall they didn't have the game sound on-super annoying, I agree with the other yelpers. I have never been the patio...
I think this place has good drink specials and I have never had bad service. I think for a bar it is LIGHTYEARS ahead of other places I have been to...I ordered a turkey reuben and the bread was thick and fresh and so was the rest of it and their homemade chips were fantastic...I ordered chips thinking I would eat one or 2 of them as opposed to fries and then my friend was like, "you do realize they are homemade chips, right?" no...and I ate them all. I heard the pizza here was good and I saw someone order it and it looked better than good...very solid for bar pizza. They have salads and good salads too-a rare find at a bar.
This is one of the few bars in the area that has the classic game photo hunt and you will find me here after work with my friend trying to break that high score record drinking cheap beer. Overall, I mean I have not had a bad experience here-yet and if I do, you all will know....Listed in: The Places I Go Out

Review from kelly w.

After being completely pummeled in my softball game on Monday (uh.. 17-1!) some teammates and I definitely needed a drink. Dan suggested 24 seconds in which I replied that I had never been, but was completely willing to check it out.
We went up to the roof top-- apparently other ball players had this same idea because there were other peeps in uniforms. I was pretty impressed with the patio. Nice big open space. Quick service. Cheap beers.
There were some larger tables that cater to larger parties--maybe if we win our game next week the whole team could come out and celebrate! -

I wanted to like this place. We went to watch the world series and they have plenty of tvs, but the sound was so low you couldn't hear anything. We asked 4 times to have the volume turned up until they told us it was as loud as they were allowed to do. I know the tigers were not playing in it but it was the world series. The food was ok, but I was surprised how expensive the beer was $6.25 a pint.

Great place to hang out. In the summer the patio on the roof is a perfect place to hang out with friends and enjoy the summer air. Food is always good although service is really hit or miss. The introduction of the 24 Seconds party bus is amazing. For $10 a person you can ride the bar's party bus down to a Tigers game, or wherever your group of friends wants to go. Took the bus with about 10 friends to a Tigers game, got to drink on the way down on the bus, and was shuttled back to the bar after the game. Big WIN for this place! Another great reason that I love living in Berkley.

This place has some really good food. The pizza is great. There are a lot of different options that you wouldn't see on a regular bar menu like the grilled vegetable salad or the fried eggplant and mozzarella sandwich. They have a good happy hour too that goes until 7. It can get crowded for games so get there early. The rooftop is cool too!

It's a great place to watch a game, as long as there isn't karaoke or a live band DURING THE GAME. Not cool, 24 seconds. Otherwise, the crowd is pretty sports minded, at least inside. Great flat screen TVs all over the place, you pretty much have a good view from any seat. During the Tigers run of 2006 the place was so packed we were standing pretty much from the street... the atmosphere was electric.

good food, but a really grouchy bartender on monday night. wow, isn't being friendly and waiting on customers how servers make money and represent their establishment? she really needed a happy pill or something. the food was good though, a little pricy for sandwiches, etc., but very well thought out and put together.
