A Detroit Historical Bar Tour: New stops!

Ever since Detroit was a mere French missionary outpost, the city’s history has been entwined with the story of it’s citizens drinking habits. Countless stories have been shared over a pint, and a majority of the city’s major moments featured alcohol front and center: the early frontier day’s wild revelry, through the bloody freewheeling days of the Purple Gang & National Prohibition and beyond. We’ll stop at some of Detroit’s oldest, most notorious and most interesting bars, sharing stories along the way- over a few pints, of course. (This tour has different stops each and every time!)

A Pre-Automotive Detroit Historical Tour feat. Amy Elliott-Bragg

Our ever-popular pre-automotive Detroit historical tour “Frontier Anarchy” is back and bigger than ever. We’ll crawl across three hundred years of history on the west side of Detroit! We’ll visit churches that predate the city and the ghosts of Detroit’s tobacco magnates. Along the way, we’ll talk parties and pranks, pioneers and pony carts. Governors and steamboat captains, tobacco magnates and tabloid darlings. And we’ll go to the bar.

Big Screens Under the Stars

We all like a good movie, hey a lot of us like terrible movies too. Get out with us on a beautiful summer night and be out under the stars! Grab some brews, a couple buddies, maybe a pizza, (we’ll have some hot dogs) and jump in the bus because we’re going to the Ford-Wyoming. That’s right, the drive-in theater.

The last Saturday of every month we run an all-night, all-you-can-ride loop around Downtown, Corktown & Midtown. Grab a few beers and jump on board, we’ll be hitting seven of the city’s best spots (that puts you within walking distance of about four dozen booze joints)

All the games all the time and you’re going to ride.

It’s everything you want and it’s going to be wild. Race track go-kart racing, batting cages, bungee trampoline, putt-putt, and arcade games. Midway Sports is where it’s at and we have a sweet package hook-up for you. There are enough games there that we’re sure you can win a couple, and who doesn’t want to take down a co-worker now and then?

A Drinking Bar Tour through Detroit

We’re getting down into the dive bars. You know the type, but these are Detroit’s. From bar to bar your guide is going to entertain you with each place’s historical significance, some recent happenings, and just a few rumors you hear being a dude around town. It’ll be a darker and grittier tour than the normal fair. So get ready to get weird, and jump on the bus with some brews!

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Detroit Land Development

Why is some of Detroit’s prime real estate vacant? Why do promising redevelopment projects hover in limbo, seemingly forever? What’s happening with the train station, with the oddly-shaped GAR Building downtown, with Brush Park just to the north — and who’s pulling the strings?

Creative departments, cocktails and crafty lies.

Everybody’s favorite drama is even better when watched en masse so we’re dressing up to fit the decade and hitting the town. We’ve reserved a private theater and bartender just for the occasion, so break out that suit or throw on that floral dress and toss some back for Don.

Shuttle to the Benefit Festival in Royal Oak

Wild West Beer Fest is bringing you great beers from around the world, across the country, and your own backyard for a great cause! This is a public event created to help raise much-needed funds for Camp Casey – an organization that brings horses into the lives of local children with cancer.

Sending the sixth season out with a bang

You’ve followed along all season and it all comes together towards this one searing-hot focal point right here. We’ve reserved a theater just for you and we’ll have 60′s-era craft cocktails served by a private bartender – not to mention a smart stop at the illustrious Sugar House beforehand. Let’s end this thing together.

SHUTTLE TO BEERS! SUMMER! YPSI!

The Summer Beer Festival features over 600 different beers from more than 65 Michigan craft breweries. There will be tons of food as well as live music from a variety of Michigan bands. The oldest of the Michigan Brewers Guild’s four annual festivals, the Summer Beer Festival takes place rain or shine in the lovely outdoor setting of Ypsilanti’s Riverside Park in historic Depot Town. We’re driving so you don’t have to! Kick back in the bus and cool off with a few Michigan brews!
