Green Dot Stables Sliders

Good Food

Gotta love the horse on the roof

Simplicity is often the key to success, and Green Dot Stables bar in the outskirts of Corktown has that figured out. A co-worker suggested going to Green Dot for an after work get together, and it was so good I've been back a few times since. Green Dot is a comfortable place with a simple menu of sliders and side dishes. But these aren't your White Castle sliders. Their menu has everything from a traditional burger slider to one called the Korean that has a beef patty, peanut butter and kimchi.

Good Drink

Not to get too wrapped up in the food, the bar has plenty of brews to cover your tastes. The menu also has suggestions next to each slider on what beer to try with your meal. If you're not into having alcohol, there's soft drinks as well. On one of my visits my dining companion asked for a Coke and the waiter replied it would be a cola. She said, sure Pepsi is fine. And he replied, no it would be a "cola" not Pepsi or Coca Cola. Still not sure what brand it was, but it was a cola. Side note, I ordered an iced tea, and it was one of the best iced teas I've ever had in a restaurant or bar. It really was.

Good Times

The ambiance at Green Dot is relaxed, and there is long bar with regular bar stools and also some swivel chairs. A few flat screen TVs adorn the walls, and make watching a sporting event easy. On one evening I was there cool R&B songs were playing on the sound system. All of this translates to a pleasant atmosphere to hang out, enjoy some low priced tasty food and sample some cold beverages. Good times in Detroit. Here's the the link to the Green Dot website that has their menu and a map on how to find the bar. They have plenty of parking and bike stands if you ride your bike. ---Trust DVD on this one, do yourself a favor and check out Green Dot Stables.
