What are the best places to watch Detroit’s pro sports teams, Michigan and Michigan State in action? We need you to tell us.
We want to know where you go, both in Michigan and beyond, when your favorite teams are playing. Either email us a location or mention it in the comments below, and we’ll add it to The Detroit Sports Bar Directory within 24 hours.
You can rate each bar on our list by five criteria: Food, Atmosphere, Price, Specials and Detroit Fan Friendliness (how many other Detroit/MSU/UM fans you’ll find there, how often the local games are on, etc.).
And if you’re looking for a bar near you where you can enjoy the Lions, Tigers, Wings, Pistons, Spartans or Wolverines in the company of other die-hard fans, just check the listing below to see if there’s a spot in your area.
We’ll be adding to this list constantly, so don’t hesitate to come back often. Click on the links for bar information and to rate each place, if you’ve been there.
