Detroit Tiger's Opening day - Come downtown


Detroit Tiger's Opening day-A holiday around these parts and downtown Detroit is the place to be.


Aristocat Limousine is Detroit's premier transportation service and we have put together some postgame and pregame planning done for you with this lineup of some of the areas best venues and their game day agendas. Get ready-it's going to be a great day.



1265 Washington Blvd., Detroit

313-963-2589


Book your seat for beer and ballgames at this downtown tavern, located in the historic Booke building. On Opening Day, a pitcher and four shots go for $14. Or try the signature Drunken Tiger martini, made with a secret Bookies recipe, for $7. With more than 40 varieties of beer and game viewings on the big-screen TVs, this is a not-so-martini speakeasy-style bar. If everybody doesn’t know your name upon your arrival, they will afterward. DJs and live music from area bands are scheduled through the weekend. Doors open at 7 a.m. Monday and so will the patio, where they’ll be grilling burgers, brats and hot dogs.


Elwood Bar & Grill

300 East Adams, Detroit

313-962-2337


You can’t get much closer to the action than the Elwood, which is nestled in the shadow of Comerica Park and Ford Field. This historic venue (built in 1936 but reopened at its current location between the stadiums in 2002) will be hosting radio remotes from WXYT-FM (97.1, the Ticket) Friday, Sunday and Monday to celebrate the games. There likely will be standing-room-only crowds at the art deco diner. But no matter how long the lines might be, the half-pound burgers and Monte Cristo sandwiches ($6.25) and $7 Bloody Marys will be worth the wait. Named for its original location on Elizabeth Street and Woodward Avenue, the Elwood and its adjacent garage patio will open at 7 a.m. on Opening Day.


Nemo's Bar and Grill
1384 Michigan Ave., Detroit
313-965-3180


For more than 40 years, sports enthusiasts have hailed this Detroit classic, where simplicity is the key ingredient. Since 1965, burgers, Budweiser and Detroit sports have brought the man’s man to this eatery near Tiger Stadium. In 2005, it was named the No. 3 sports bar in the United States by no less than Sports Illustrated. The walls, which are virtually covered with great moments in Detroit sports history, might have been one reason for the recognition, but it’s more likely that the garrulous regulars, many seated at the place’s numerous mahogany bar stools, made the case. Nemo’s signature burgers run $4 and some change. A heated tent will add to the Opening Day festivities, which run from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
