..I'm thinking Slows Bar BQ for dinner one night, Michael Symon's Roast the other. Any other recommended stops in the downtown core?

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Try Jacoby's Biergarten, on Brush St, 5 min from the Renaissance Centre and Greektown. ( Safe )
German / European with a nice of mix of U.S. Micro
Nice draft selection (20 oz ) and bottle selection. Great food

Thanks. Looks like it's a 5 min. cab ride from the hotel, I'll check it out.hopdevil wrote:Try Jacoby's Biergarten, on Brush St, 5 min from the Renaissance Centre and Greektown. ( Safe )

I like Slow's, and Merchant's Fine Wine is a good bottleshop nearby (if you're driving):

If you head north, Kuhnhenn, Dragonmead, Cloverleaf & Holiday Market are all relatively close.
I liked Ann Arbor a lot, but that's getting a little out of the way.
That said, it's been almost 5 years since I've been to Michigan (that was a good part about living in London).

I will also be in Detroit around mid-April. At this point I'm looking to do Slow's, Roast, Grand Trunk, and the two brewpubs (Brewing Co. & Motor City). Might head up to Royal Oak and Warren for a bottle run and a visit to Kuhnhenn. If I have time I'll stop by Jacoby's, based on hopdevil's recommendation.

According to google, Grand Trunk is a 9 min. walk from my hotel, so I'll be sure to pop in. Getting into town around 10 tonight, will be dropping bags and heading straight over to Slows...hope by that time there won't be a wait for a table...wilco wrote:Grand Trunk is definitely a good spot. Lots of local drafts. Jacoby's didn't do much for me, but they pour a large (and cheap) bourbon. Wish I had spent more time at Slow's. Just amazing.

-Founders Porter
-Founders Pale Ale
-Big Sky Moose Drool
-Bells Hopslam x 2 (Wow)
-New Holland Dragon's Milk Stout (cask)

A great weekend despite the Leafs loss.
