"tonight's the night!"

thanks for posting this, DETROITBOY...Andy was a legend as was the Woodward under his management. Of interest, the bar was originally owned by the family that owned Mr. Mikes. They sold it to the brothers when Mr. Mikes relocated to Woodward and Piquette. The Woodward had, for years the dual personality of lunch spot serving great burgers and fries to the New Center crowd from the GM and Fisher Bldg. along with Campbell Ewald and many other long gone business and then gradually morphing into a gay bar in the late afternoon. There was certainly some crossover business to be sure---but the Woodward never tolerated phobic comments or remarks by either side. I always felt they ran a very honest bar, poured drinks at a fair price---as far as I knew never "substituted" liquor on a call brand pour and put out of hell of a burger and great steak cut fries. Along with the NORMANDIE BAR at 2nd and W. Grand Blvd, one of the great spots in New Center.
