Bartender - The Foolery

Bartender - The Foolery

The Foolery is a "fine" dive bar that serves up a scratch-made Detroit-style, square pan pizza featuring an inventive twist on the food, nostalgic craft cocktails, and cold beer. Menu items are served up in a playful atmosphere, denoting retro decor and that wall paneling found in Grandma's basement—all of the haphazard throwbacks in a niche neighborhood bar. Hitting all of the comfort points for the next, "We should hang out soon," this Misfit Joint is where folks snag an after-work beer with colleagues and stay for the pizza. Or, one to bring friends to for a laid-back dinner and stay for the innovative cocktails.
