The Best Burger in Downtown Detroit

Looking for the best burger in Downtown Detroit? Well, look no further because we've got you covered! But first, lets chat about what makes a good burger, a good burger. What Makes a Good Burger, a Good Burger The temperature is heating up and we all know that one of the very first things we do to embrace it is to bring out the grill! There's no denying the mouthwatering aroma of a plump, juicy burger sizzling on the grill. And the sound of the juices sizzling on the charcoal is simply irresistible. Then you top it off with your favorite cheese as it slowly melts over the burger, and finally, you load it up with your preferred toppings. What are your go-to choices? Bacon? Onions? Jalapenos? Pickles? As for me, I go for a bun grilled with butter, a well-seasoned turkey patty, crumbled blue cheese, and my toppings of choice are mushrooms, lettuce, red onion, mayo, and mustard. Well, now I'm getting seriously hungry just thinking about it! How about you?

Online Reviews of Checkers Bar Now, while I trust our engineer Albert's opinion on burgers, I wanted to check out some reviews on Yelp for you. Here are a few: Kitty K (Newport, MI) says, "Cool little dive bar with an arcade attached! The Checker Bar is known for its tasty burgers! It's super close to all the sports and downtown happenings. It is very close to Greektown, Campus Martius, Ford Field, and Comerica. Parents bring their kids here. There is an outside patio. Vintage games are upstairs. Great date night or family outing." Jake D. (Ann Arbor, MI) says, " Great 'dive bar' atmosphere. The food is really good and relatively inexpensive for downtown. It's a good authentic neighborhood bar with excellent drinks and nice bartenders." Blaise B. (Westland, MI) says, "We came here on New Year's Eve before the event at the Fillmore. We wanted a cheap dinner since the rest of the night was expensive, and this was exactly what we were looking for. The prices are reasonable (difficult to find these days in downtown Detroit!), and everything we ordered was SO good. I plan to return many times when I'm downtown!"
