Second Best
A ’90s-themed wannabe dive that knows exactly how to get a crew into trouble—in the best possible way.
Second Best stole my heart with the PBR-style sign out front and never let go. Bubble hockey, standing tables, a patio, and Miller High Life 40s served in ice buckets with champagne flutes: it is ridiculous and perfect. Every time I go, the crowd is ready for a good time.
Order the High Life 40 in the ice bucket with champagne flutes.
You have a crew, an event at Little Caesars Arena, or want an after-dinner drink that can turn into a night.
You want an actual dive, serious cocktails, or a quiet date-night room.
