Whiskey in the Jar
2741 Yemans St
Hamtramck, MI 48212
The Whiskey in the Jar is a classic corner bar located in Hamtramck, MI a half block west of Jos. Campau Street on Yemens Street. The Whiskey is a Hipster bar and features a wide selection of beers and spirits. Although it is a hipster hangout, the group I was with included 20 somethings as well as individuals that are in the senior stages of life and we were very well accepted by the staff and clientele.
Whiskey in the Jar features several Polish beers either on tap or in bottles, plus a good variety of craft beers including ones locally produced. They also serve Crabbie's Ginger Beer, if you have a chance, sample it...Crabbie's taste like Vernor's with an alcohol kick. Other beers that they offer are hipster favorites like PBR, Hamm's and Carling's Black Label.
The Whiskey in the Jar also has a standard bar pool table and an internet juke box that was never silent when we were there. Nothing better then drinking a few adult beverages and listening to Motown.
The group I was with went to Whiskey in the Jar after attending Saturday afternoon mass at St. Florian's and before dinner at the Polonia restaurant. When talking to the bartender, she indicated that stopping by the WITJ either before or after a local event in Hamtramck was a popular event.
We were very impressed with this classic dive bar establishment and will add it to our visit itinerary whenever we visit Hamtramck.
