Bookies Bar & Grille plies foodies and sports zealots alike with a hearty menu of American pub eats and drinks, which pairs of diners can consume while bathed in the glow of a dozen plasma-screen televisions. Find a seat on one of three spacious floors to watch tortilla chips high-dive from the rooftop patio into your beef-queso dip ($8.99), as you laugh and converse with a dinner companion or incorporeal omniscient narrator. Brawny beef and turkey burgers strut proudly from the grill, flexing toppings such as grilled pineapple and ham ($9.99), as a triumvirate of Blue Dorsal sliders ($8.99) drift over counters with their lightly fried cod cores overheating. Diners who opt for dual entrees can bite into deliciously glazed sweet chili chicken ($11.99), the honey chipotle salmon ($12.99), or other tasty selections. Sip from cool glasses of Newcastle, Blue Moon, or other brews on tap ($3–$7), or prevent sweet teeth from biting the hand that feeds them with flambéed mountains of bananas foster ($6.99) daubed with ice cream and Grand Marnier–laced whipped cream.

After walking into Bookies, sporting visitors can huddle around the wooden chairs and booths on the bar's ground floor or kick back on cushioned, metal-backed chairs on the rooftop patio. Bookies’ gregarious crew fans energetic flames with weekly lineups of gameday galas, live music, and DJs. Adventuresome spectators can sally forth to hunt Lions, Tigers, and Red Wings games with complimentary shuttle service, and others can cozy up to Bookies' full bar of beers and spirits.
