Under the Eagle was quite good, though they didn't have booze. I went there about 2 years ago for dinner. The place was empty except for us, quiet, no atmosphere. Sad to see it go, but not entirely surpised.
I think it also speaks to the changing demographics. While there are still Poles in Hamtramck, and many still go to church and do shopping and things there, the Polish population in Hamtramck is a fraction of what it was 20 - 30 years ago. Now that some of the ethnic stores and restaurants have popped up in the suburbs, many suburbanites don't go to Hamtramck anymore. Sad, really. I had a woman at work talking about how she bought Polish food in Livonia [[of all places), and asked me if they had good Polish food in Hamtramck
Polish Village [[my favorite) will be there until kingdom come and I imagine Polonia will be okay too. Polish Village is excellent and people go there for the novelty of the whole house-basement-bar thing. Gigantic frosty draft Okocim too.
