Revvy, thanks for quashing the Detroit bashing as quickly as it appeared earlier in the thread. It gets seriously old. My wife grew up down river and I’m from SW MI. I remember driving to Cobo for concerts the instant I turned 18. My wife and I even did a downtown pub crawl for our bachelor/bachelorette party.
Not mentioned was Fishbones. But since you’re from Louisiana it wouldn’t make a lot of sense to go since it’s designed to be a southern seafood restaurant.
The downtown city center surrounding Ford Field and Comerica Park is a great place to be. You’ve got everything from upscale restaurants, hole in the wall pubs, a casino, etc. It’s safe, well lit, and there is a lot to do. The drive in is a bit depressing as outside of this hub is what gives Detroit a bad rap.
As for Windsor, I went there a LOT when I was 19 – 20.99 years old. The lower drinking age pulls a lot of the younger crowd with disposable incomes across the bridge/tunnel. Honestly, I remember it being nice and clean but overall really expensive. And that was when the dollar was worth much more than Canadian.
There are some nice Canadian commercial beers that aren’t very prevalent in the US. Sleemans is a good one to try.
I hope you enjoyed your time in MI.
