A Friendly Neighborhood bar. Populated with a mostly local crowd. Nice patio and reasonably price cocktails. Mostly a shot and beer joint with a jammin juke box and pool tables and such. Definitely a recommend. Read Less

Music inside is a bit loud for talking, but the patio!!!!!! Love the ambiance back there! Firepit and a big screen so I don't miss the game! Only tip I have is, be sure you have cash. They don't take cards. Read Less

I've been here several times and this bar just does not have a friendly vibe. It's a neighborhood bar so I don't get it. The bartender is an a-hole and treats you like he's doing you a favor even waiting on you. Hey, it's a bar, you're the co-owner, treat your paying customers like you're happy to see them! I I've sat at the bar, at a table, played pool, gone out back to the patio,  and never really felt like I jived with this place. Even the people at the bar aren't friendly - weird, who goes to a neighborhood bar and is rude?  So unless one of my friends insists this is where they have to go, I hope I won't have to go back.

Pool tables and beers that's what people love about Rustics. Again not my scene but I appreciate it for what it is. Old school beer joint that the hipsters haven't found yet or have turned their noses up to. This is your dad's bar, your uncle's bar, the not going to impress your date bar. Carry on Rustics. Don't change. Read Less

This bar is an old time favorite in Grosse Pointe. I know people they have been coming here for years. If you grew up in this are it will not be unusual to run into someone you know at the Rustics. A lot of people come here to watch the game or for a night cup. I was here last week to watch the tigers game and ran into a few people I know. They have a pool table and also outdoor seating. The bartenders are always friendly. They only form of payment is cash but they have an ATM inside. Will keep coming here for sure. Read Less

Rustic charm indeed. This local spot has all the things you need to have a fun time at a bar there's two pool tables foosball  big TVs video games a jukebox and a really nice back patio. Nice low prices wine list and $3 22 oz draft Read Less

This place has been around since my mother was young and I am not young anymore. We would come home from college at the holidays and you could be sure to meet a number of your old high school classmates there having a drinking and just enjoying the place. Read Less

I hate to do this considering people I know adore this craphole. I simply don't know why. Nostalgia is all I can think of. Reminiscing of the their youth that has long slipped away? I get that, I suppose ...but this place is just not worth liking when there are so many other good places just steps away. I know it's supposed to be 'rustic'...but there are SO many ways 2do that w/o being such a cheap shithole.  Sorry for saying it like THAT but that's all I can think of when I think of this place ! Yet, one thing I can say is... Im honest!  If there is any improvement in rustic cabin service, atmosphere... or anything at ALL ~ I promise you ... U will read it here first! I've got my eye on this place - just won't see me there. Read Less

Cool place-- but make sure you bring cash! This is a cash-only establishment. They have an Internet jukebox, but the white haired bartender has a tendency to take it over with his awful, poppy, top 40's music all night long. This is a great place for a drink and a game of pool. Read Less

My wife and I planned to spend the evening enjoying the band here tonight.  No such luck.  We found an empty table that the bar person just cleaned off (there had been an number of empty glasses left on it).  We thanked him and sat down.  We listened to 3 or 4 songs, probably about 10 - 15 minutes when 3 guys come up to us and tell us that was their table and they had gone out for a smoke.  You' got to be kidding.  They expected their table was going to "held" for them for that long in a crowded bar?  Given the odds, we left.

Cash only. ATM inside. Came here tonight to have a couple beers and hang out with the wifey. Pretty fun atmosphere, it was slower compared to other bars we went to last night but we kind of like that sometimes as we're winding down for the evening. Bar has a pool table and a table football aka foosball table for fun. I think they were both .75 ea. per game. Okay selection of bottled beers I didn't even check to see what the draft selection looked like.  Man behind the bar was kind. Read Less

Rustic Cabins... If ever there were a map of America of historical bars to visit (and if anyone knows of one, email me!), Rustic Cabins would be on that list.As urban legend states, yes, this was an old  hangout of Jack Kerouac. This should give you a scope as to how long this place has been around... my Dad used to hang out in this place.But it's not the sort of place where the youngest person in the place qualifies for Social Security. Far from it! Actually there's a healthy mix of people young, old, working and middle classes. It's this that would make it a fine stop on a nationwide bar hop; it also is a bit telling as to why Kerouac would've wanted to hang in this place... an awesome cross-section of many different people that mesh well together. (And really who can't bond over a few drinks?)The selection of drinks in this place is pretty standard for the area: anything you'd be looking for you'll most likely find. Beer snobs beware: you may go without your favorite micro brew. Still, for being in Grosse Pointe, the prices are killer (beers under $3 anyone?) and THAT'S a reason to put away the snob and bring out the fratboy! Honestly I give the place five stars almost solely on the merit of Kerouac. But really it's a comfy place to unwind, or a great place to steal a corner with your nearest and dearest talking about everything or nothing. I recommend ordering a tall Scotch (Oh they pour them tall!) and taking the booth to the extreme right of the front door. Yeah that one! Have a seat. What's that ancient looking graffiti scratched into the wall? I remember:"Kerouac was here" Read Less
