Redwingsfn31 2 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 Ok, I have never been to the Joe, but I have a trip planned for April, what are the best bars to go to before and after the game? I was thinking of going to Old Shillelagh and before and ridding their bus to the game and then back, Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zombiewing 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 An honest assesment, coming from a native Detroiter: Nemo's- it is the oldest bar in the city, in the oldest neighborhood in the city, feels like a movie set. free shuttle to and from the game, which means you can get schnokered on all the Labatt's you can handle. It is in Corktown. It is a block from where the old tiger stadium used to stand. It is full of history. Harold Snepsts used to drink there. Jimmy Hoffa ordered a hit on someone there. Illitch brought the cup there personally. Old Shill is not bad, it is just that...it is a tad too touristy for my tastes. How can you say no to snepsts and jimmy hoffa? Seriously, it feels like old school motown. you will thank me later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
