Tommy's Detroit Bar & Grill
624 3rd Street
313-965-2269
Tommy's is located about a ten minute or less walk from both Cobo Hall and the Joe Louis Arena. Because of its location, Tommy's is an ideal location for having food and drinks either before or after an event at either Cobo Hall or Joe Louis.
Tommy's menu is typical bar & grill fair and offers a very large selection of bottle and draft beer. I have sampled their Grande Cheese Quesadilla's and the Dearborn Spiraled Ham sandwich and enjoyed both. The service was very friendly and the food arrived quickly...which is important if one needs to catch the opening faceoff at a Red Wings game.
As previously mentioned, Tommy's location tends to be a plus and you can take a pedestrian bridge and sidewalks to the Joe Louis west entrance or walk a few short blocks to Cobo Hall. Make sure you ask for walking directions to Joe Louis as finding the entrance to the pedestrian bridge can be tricky. For other sporting or entertainment events in Detroit, Tommy's also offers a free shuttle service.
The building has been around since 1840 and was used during Prohibition as a speakeasy. The building and the Fort Street Presbyterian Church next door were also to have been part of the Underground Railroad. If you meet Tommy, ask him to give you a tour of the basement and describe the paranormal activities that have taken place at Tommy's.
