Real Detroit Weekly Recognizes Bookies

Bookies Tavern - my favorite bar to kick back and relax at in the D - is profiled this week in Real Detroit Weekly's, "Raise the Bar" column.

I started frequenting Bookies a few months after its opening in July 2003, and knew that it was destined for Detroit success - so I am ecstatic that its finally getting the nods it deserves.

If you haven't yet been to this 1920s themed bar, I urge you to check it out - its located at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Grand River in the fabulous Book Tower. You can learn more about the venue, as well as nightly specials and live music line-ups in this week's issue of Real Detroit Weekly. Although RD Weekly's website is under temporary construction, you can snag a copy at numerous locations throughout the Metro Detroit area, including most restauarants, libraries, local bookstores and bars. While you're at it, check out the bar's website: www.bookiestavern.com.
