Pre-COVID 19 visit. One of the BEST bars I have been to in a very long time. Music was great, service was great, food was great, drinks were great! The doorman even took a picture with me and my sister, who was visiting from St. Louis.

LOVE: A whole vegan menu! YAY! It is not what you'd expect from a Hockey Bar. Likewise, I've never had a bad meal here. Definitely upgrade for some Curly Fries. Also, the decor really gets my goat. It's a total vibe, y'all. They also have PBR bingo on Mondays! Don't Love: Last time we were here, I had the slowest service of my life. If you have eaten out in Southern Italy, you know how slow and casual the service is--now multiply it by 10x. We watched our waitress and tried to wave her down multiple times but alas, we had no luck. She actually physically disappeared for 20 minutes. The other guy who was working was quick with it. If the stars align, maybe we can sit at one of his tables.

I love this place. Amazing vegan food and TONS of options, and don't worry, carnivores--they have a whole menu for you as well. I used to go pre-kids when I was a lot cooler. Now I'm just a boring suburban mom (weep), but I don't feel uncomfortable or out of place here. We recently went in on a Saturday night completely dressed up after a show downtown, and no one batted an eye. So don't worry---you don't have to be a hipster or wear all black to fit in here. Yeah, they will probably be blaring some punk or metal, but I've also heard quirky/mainstream selections from their jukebox. Make sure to get the awkwardly named Sack of Balls ... you won't be disappointed!

Sinking Ship has always been kind of an enigma to me...a heavy metal playing, hockey-themed bar featuring a ton of pinball machines that gives way to some of the best vegan food in town. In fact, their menu has recently been revised to include new offerings for vegans (as well as carnivores). Don't let the exterior fool you; this place is cool both day and night...perhaps more hipster-ish after hours, but I still show up on occasion and never feel out of place. Just goes to show that you can be a bad ass rebel and a vegan!

Vegan metal music hockey lovers rejoice! Even if you are not one of the folks described above, I bet you will find something to love about The Sinking Ship - or maybe not - and that is ok. Their new menu makes it easy to find exactly the food fare you are looking for as it is now divided in to a Vegan side and a Meaty side - upside down and opposite each other - so it is clear on what you are getting. This is the perfect spot if you have a sig other that is a meat eater and you are not or vice versa. With that said - is the healthiest of Vegan food? Probably not. But I betcha it will be tasty! You can not go wrong with the star tots, pickle fries, or Mac and cheez for sides and I have not had an entree I did not like. I tried the McFib (like the McRib but better/Vegan) recently and to make it like I remembered it, I did it with no cheese, added extra sauce, and pickles. The 'other fast food chain version' also had onions, but I never got them anyway - so this was SPOT ON and delish. Added a PBR draft for $3 and I was a happy girl. The hubs liked his wings, he was able to score a rare Southern Tier beer, and the star tots were a hit with him as well. A word about the ambiance: Do not come here if you have kids with you or are easily offended by sometimes loud grungy metal Gwar-like music, friendly and beautiful tattooed workers, tasty beers, hockey themes, Andre the Giant, no-frills cement floors, or pinball machines. Personally, I love it - but if this is not your bag, I'd go elsewhere.

Last night was my first time here. There were about 11 of us in our party. We ordered a mix from the vegan and meaty sides of the menu. Being from Ohio we have 0 bars that are a mix of hockey, metal/punk, comic book, horror, & wrestling themed. I got a Nicolas Cajun while my wife got the chicken bacon ranch salad. Both were good sizes. I do wish the blackening spice on the Nicolas Cajun stood out a little more it was still a good sandwich with the cajun mayo & bacon. Definitely a fun spot with several tvs, pinball games, and a killer soundtrack.

This place is super cool. Like, way cooler than me, cool. That being said, I am glad that I stopped by (in my business casual, just came from work outfit - think I stood out?). Food was SO good and the bartender was awesome. I was so excited to see so many vegan options on the menu, so of course I ordered a ton of them. Their seitan wings are bomb and exactly what was missing in my life. Not the kind of place that I would suggest for a nice family dinner, but more of a hangout with friends and grab some beers over some guilt-filled vegan goodness place. I wish I lived closer, because this would easily become one of my local go-tos!

This place is the absolute dream for omnivores and vegans alike ... and, for my weirdly specific preferences for an ideal night out, The Sinking Ship is 100% it. Honestly, it's best that I live in Michigan. I'd be here several times a week. The Sinking Ship has a lengthy menu with options for anybody, a craft beer list offering some of the city's finest, and a wall of impeccably maintained pinball machines -- all while feeling grungy/divey. I shared a sack of balls for dessert, buffalo jackfruit taquitos and chili and teez fries as an appetizer, and a buffalo jackfruit chimichanga for my entree. Yeah man, I was hungry. The taquitos were great. Jackfruit instead of shredded chicken? Could hardly tell. Fried up nice and crispy with a vegan ranch that was better than next to any non-vegan ranch I ever had. The chili teez fries were wild. The chili wasn't *mindblowing*, but the vegan nacho cheese on it with pickled jalapenos on those seasoned curlies... bud, that's some fine fat kid food right there. The chimi was ultimately the jackfruit taquitos on a giant scale, stuffed with beans. Drunk or sober, it's a gut buster. A sweet, sweet gut buster. The balls, coming from a non-dessert guy, were good made very good with the apple dipping sauce stuff. For real, dunk those balls deep. Ultimately, Sinking Ship is the dream. I can't find anything to legitimately bitch about outside of the bathroom. Why put two urinals a scrotal hair away from each other with no divider? Egh. God forbid you gotta drain the sea monster the same time as someone else. Before I finish, in hopes of getting a line on a Sinking Ship cocktail napkin... fuck this place. Truthfully the worst dining experience I have ever had. Pitiful, sad excuse for a bar. ...11/10, good luck finding a bar much or any better.
