Motor City Casino Resort,

"Miami" is an acronym for "Missing in Action Michigan"; as such the walls in this Midtown dive bar are lined with memorabilia from the Vietnam War and other battles. War vets, bikers, punks, students, and others come here for the cheap drinks, live gigs, and the spacious backyard, which hosts some events during the summer months.

The Bronx Bar

"The darkest bar on the planet." The Bronx is a dive bar by any scale, however the drinks are very effective, the pool table works and the jukebox has depth. This is a place to go to relax and knock back a few with your buddies, or to bring an ugly date you just don't want to look at. However, watch where you park your car, as the parking lot across the street is not public and they will tow your car after the businesses in the strip mall close. PBR is $1. Also, enjoy the unique experience of coming out of a bar at 2AM and blinking because it's so bright outside.

Union Street’s building dates back to the early 1900’s when a hardware store/auto parts store were part of a thriving Woodward Avenue. Across the street is the Garden Bowl and the Majestic Theatre built in 1918 and remains in operation. The menu is a creative fusion of American, European, and Asian inspired dishes. The full bar, and knowledge bat stall will help you concoct drinks that only Hunter S Thompson would dare to order. The crowd is a good cross section of regulars - the hip, urban crowd, the theater crowd as well as university professionals and students. If you are a food adventurer and not afraid of a little spice -which means a LOT!!- try the Dragon's Eggs they are chicken breast stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese fried and dipped in the insanely hot rasta sauce. Served on a bed of caesar salad. To quell the inferno you may want to order a side of Ranch or blue cheese to dip them in. The staff is a very friendly group of area locals that can point you in the direction of just about anything you are looking for from directions to blind pig parties to the break of dawn along with the recreation additives that can make a long night a fun night.

Sports pub with 15-50 inch flat screens, 1/2 lb fresh burgers, 18 beers on tap, and great pizza. Voted best sports bar in Detroit and the western suburbs. Owned by former left-handed professional pitcher Dave Marcon.
