Closer to downtown Detroit? Or Royal Oak/venue?

There are a lot of cool bars in Detroit and a lot of GREAT restaurants. What exactly are you looking for? We have corner/townie bars, Irish Pubs, restaurant/bars, breweries, bars where local & touring bands play, etc....

A couple of my favorites are Gusoline Alley (in Royal Oak), Danny's and the New Way Bar in Ferndale, and in Detroit I like the Bronx Bar, The Comet, 2500 Club, Magic Stick, Lager House, Nancy Whiskey, Corktown Tavern, Jacoby's...to name a few. Stay away from Hockeytown - terrible beer and whiskry and food. But the Town Punp is right around the corner and a great place to drink. The State Bar isn't bad either - a block down next to the Fillmore.

You can get great food at Slow's BBQ (be prepared for a wait), Union Street (sandwiches, pasta, etc...), and Southern Fires (BBQ/no alcohol). Right near the venue is a great Asian/Sushi place called Ronin, and Little Tree is the same cuisine and close as well. Lots of restaurants in Royal Oak but it seems like I always end up at one of those 2. While in Detroit try to grab a coney at Lafayette Coney Island (as seen in the intro to Hung, & on the Food Network) which is 24 hrs, I think, and there's also coney islands all over the metro area. There's a Mediterranean place in Ferndale called Anita's that is supposed to be great, but I haven't been there. Ferndale is just south of Royal Oak with lots of bars & restaurants at the intersection of Woodward & 9 mile. Try the Onion Roll in Royal Oak for an old-school diner with greant sandwiches I am told (pastrami anyone?).

I could go on and on....

Wow! Thanks. We definitely will hit up a few of those on Friday/Saturday... any clue if one of these pubs shows English Premier League matches in the early AM? My google searches have fallen flat, I'm afraid.

It's now offical! The Pogues show at ROMT (Royal Oak Music Theatre) has sold out.

[Pogues to Niagara]

"Slow's BBQ (be prepared for a wait)"

That's fantastic, that is!

[Jer]

Yes...Slow's is our #1 choice for eating out in the city. It gets busy as hell though. They just opened up a carry-out only location up on Cass near Wayne State. I higly recommend it.

Meanwhile....the show in Detroit is now Sold Out!

Shit! I'm moving from Italy to U.S. at the end of January so I waited because I wanted to buy my ticket in the U.S.. It would have been better to buy it on-line...

CALIFORNIA PLEASE!

Okay, that last post sounded really lame and didn't radiate the urgency and passion of my plea.

I read something about The Pogues doing a Fall tour that would include west coast dates. Can someone fill me in? I'm thinking about seeing Flogging Molly in Oakland a few days after St. Patricks day (my boyfriend is considering driving me up) but oh what I would give to see The Pogues... don't know how much he would like if I got on a plane to NYC for St. Patricks day. Not that a 19 year old college student can afford it anyway... Damn. Dreams :/

Long story short! When are The Pogues coming to California?

If all is good after the Mayan calender ends in December 2012 you may be in luck.
