Place to Watch College Football this Saturday

**DetroitArmy** · November-12-09, 10:27 PM

Where would everyone suggest watching college football game in the city on Saturday?

This question has been asked in one way or another previously, and yet the answers provided always seem few and far between, if not unimpressive.

I know there is lefty's in midtown, and the sports bar in greektown, but are there other less low brow venues to watch a game that has some character, good drinks, and a generally good atmosphere?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm not the world's greatest football fan, but Harry's on Clifford just north of I-75 has decent food, parking, plenty of TVs.

Good suggestion Tex, but thats it? Thats the only suggestion this expert panel of detroit enthusiasts has for me?

I do appreciate it.

If you're looking for an upscale place, The Park is nice as is the Town Pump, Elwood and the brand new Bookies. At Hockeytown you'll have more of chain-type experience, like-wise for HardRock ... if you want authentic semi-dive: Forans, the Checker and Anchor all exude Detroit . At the Anchor the ghosts of ink-stained wretches, cops and city councilmen pour from the surface of the well worn bartop. The best burger is at the Checker, but you'll get a larger sellection of micro/imported beer at Forans.

People tend not to name their favorite spot for fear it will be overrun with non-regulars, who generally don't know the program and all in all tend to muck up the works.
