Help me find new bars in Detroit!

[BrushStart]

So after several years of being a bar fly, I feel like I might be coming close to exhausting the city's bar options. Because I am on a constant quest to discover new and unique places, I'm taking suggestions on what I may be missing... Instead of you making suggestions, it's probably easier if I just tell you where I've been and and you can fill in the gaps. The ones in [brackets] are bars that I am aware of but have not yet been to.

In no particular order [[and with a few probably forgotten ), I've been to:

Hamtramck
I really have no clue how many I've been to, but I distinctly remember these:
Small's
Belmont
Mars Bar
Whiskey In the Jar
Mephisto's
Buddy's

So, I think I may be a bit of a lush, but can anyone suggest new places? I don't care where they are in city. I typically stay within in an easy cab ride of downtown, but I'd go far and wide for a good time. Two places I am itching to go are Baker's Keyboard Lounge and Cadieux Cafe.

[Downriviera]

Nice list. I'm hungover just from reading it.

[Orthophonic]

On the west side -
Club Celebrity at Plymouth & Mark Twain
Starter's at Plymouth & Evergreen
Tom's Tavern at Seven Mile & Wyoming

I am also really impressed by the list.

[Bella]

Wait, do you have a girlfriend?

[Bigb23]

I used to live in Hamtramck and gave up trying to hit all those bars [[110?). 60 cent schells and bra's hanging behind the bar. Throw in some blue's and we have heaven.

You just reminded me of the New Dodge Lounge on Jos. Campau w/ '60s-era paintings of hip unsmiling women in geometric print dresses on the walls. And that was for no extra charge beyond the 60 cents. Maybe the paintings aren't there anymore but the bar seems to be - haven't been there in ages. Maybe it's not a dive anymore, shame.

St. Cece's @1426 Bagley? Former Bailie Corcaigh

[eastland]

You are a real urban pioneer.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've actually been to Tom's Tavern, but only to pick up intoxicated cohorts, but never for a drink. It's in my cross-hairs.

[BrushStart]

Wait, do you have a girlfriend?

Haha. Actually, yes, but she knew what she was getting into when she started dating me. To be fair, she often tags along for my drinking exploits and enjoys many of the new places I find.

St. Cece's @1426 Bagley? Former Bailie Corcaigh

Yes, I actually stopped into St. Cece's 2 weeks before they opened and met Celeste, who is one of the owners. I was then in there this past Friday, which was the 2nd day they were open. I rarely ever miss a new bar opening. I really take pride in being the first to experience a new venue. It's like taking a new car for a test drive before anyone else. Quite thrilling!

[Chub]

How about the Dakota Inn?

[BasementBeat]

Nothing to add, but wow, I'm bookmarking this. I have some catching up to do!

[DetroitPole]

Quite unacceptable that Ye Old Tap room is not on that list.

My Dad's Bar is on Alter and Kercheval...another good eastside spot.

For the far westside, Warrendale specifically, Chick's bar[[NOT to be confused with the gentleman's club, Chicks on Dix, on Dix, which I cannot vouch for) is an interesting hole in the wall, almost exclusively Warrendale townies.

[Downriviera]

The Bridge Bar at Fort and Oakwood at the drawbridge is a good one. Fresh booze on the Rouge.

[canuck]

Texas Bar at 14619 Kercheval St between Philip and Manistique streets.

[BrushStart]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[Chinman]

also the new beaubien bar in the old third street bar at fort & 3rd.

I haven't been to a bar in several years. But this will be the first on my list. Garwood forever!

[48202]

Marshall's on East Jefferson at Manistique.

[ismoakrack]

Z's Villa on piquette is close to downtown, SkyBar, Roast and Pulse downtown.

Better hurry! Not long after I posted the mention of Skipper's Hamtown Bar, I received an email saying that the bar is for sale.
