“I stumbled upon this gem - trying to make my way to sapori trattoria (they closed at 9 so I was late again) it was rainy and I was hungry so I stopped into Matilda - immediately good vibes, so I sat and stayed”
I normally never do reviews, especially because I work in the service industry as well.
I came in with my family alongside the other trolley passengers Friday and place was full — very cold too, no heat.
Review your checks closely. Was overcharged approximately $35 for a round of drinks we never ordered.

I stumbled upon this gem - trying to make my way to sapori trattoria (they closed at 9 so I was late again) it was rainy and I was hungry so I stopped into Matilda - immediately good vibes, so I sat and stayed. After ordering 2 meals and a drink - I realized I left my wallet at home and freaked out - my bartender was not only understanding but made me realize its ok to be human - Chicken thigh entree and Korean BBQ chicken sandwich for the win - i ordered both and took leftovers home! Best Brussels sprouts i have had in this city - ever! I couldn't believe how cheap my bill was, too - specials during the week. I hear they have trolley busses for an upcoming neighborhood pub crawl starting this Friday, too - you should be there but tip your bartenders - i do! Thanks guys - it had been a day and I needed the grace and good service. 🌻

“Well executed pub food.”
Well executed pub food. Pretzel is exceptional. Cheese curds are perfect. Solid wings. Great lighting and interior. Fast and courteous service. Perfect spot if you're heading to or leaving the Vic.

Real nice place. Especially if you’re a Michigan Alum. It’s the Michigan Alumni bar! I’m a Spartan, and still give this a 5 star, GO Green! It’s cool spot and ambiance and nice outdoor seating with good food!

I hosted my birthday party at Matilda and can’t recommend it enough for your next party! I worked with Roxy on the planning and she was always responsive and accommodating. During the actual event, all the staff were super nice and helpful. I was able to put up decorations and they kept my cake refrigerated until we needed it. Also, Roxy makes the best cocktails!! Even if you aren’t hosting an event, definitely stop by for a drink. Thanks Matilda crew!

Matilda rocks, our local neighborhood bar with a super friendly staff, good drink selection and lots of TV's and games for fun. They just built a new outdoor patio for the summer which is really nice, and the pizzas are delicious. Overall a great place for a drink and a bite to eat to watch a game, Roxy is the best

“Back in May, I proposed to my parter and then had an afterparty at Matilda.”
Back in May, I proposed to my parter and then had an afterparty at Matilda. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Not only was it affordable, but it was the PERFECT venue for a party for about 60 people. We got so many compliments on the vibe and the food was amazing. They let us customize our menu and even let my mom bring her signature cheesecakes (she insisted lol). We worked with Roxy who supported me throughout and was SO amazing to work with. So accommodating and really cared that our event went well. If you are looking for a great venue to hold a party of any kind--this place is so great to work with!

“Great place to have a work event here, have a back bar space area that worked so well for our group.”
Great place to have a work event here, have a back bar space area that worked so well for our group. The staff and Roxy as one of the managers really helps you with choosing food and drink option choices for your group, if needed. The communication and service here are really nice. Really good choice if you are seeking for an event space here. Thank you Matilda’s team! -Alisha
