Metro Detroit: Ann Arbor’s Blue Tractor BBQ & Brewery
This week we are back to Ann Arbor, visiting one of our all time favorites for not only BBQ but for great home brewed beers. Blue Tractor BBQ & Brewery. The beautiful thing about this local brewery is that they also have a full liquor license so they don’t just sell beer and wine. We have featured the Blue Tractor before, in 2019, as part of our Fun Food Friday posts . . . but a lot can happen in 5 years so we felt them worthy of another mention.
Metro Detroit: Howell’s The Silver Pig Bar & Oyster Room
The Silver Pig Bar & Oyster Room opened its doors in September of 2016. It has that speakeasy vibe. Not only in the sense that it is hidden and only the “cool kids” know where it is located, but also in its off the main drag location, behind and part of Diamonds Steakhouse. It is a craft cocktail bar that serves brick over pizzas, small plate appetizers and fresh oysters along with other great raw bar seafood selections.
Metro Detroit: Howell’s 2 FOGS
We love the Speakeasy vibe in restaurants and bars. We have been to several, (including some that are no longer with us due to COVID, and are always looking for new ones. We had heard of this place, from many people, but since it is located in Howell it is not something we can just pop into. We recently had a client that bought a condo in the Wixom area and the management company didn’t receive some of his paperwork so we offered to hand deliver it . . . and what do you know, it is in the same building! We, we made sure to leave time to stop in and enjoy while we were in the area. Located in the basement of the Heart of Howell building, this place with a serious Speakeasy Vibe, opened its doors in 2015. We are talking about 2 FOGS.
Detroit: Downtown’s Shelby
It’s Friday and it is time for this weeks edition of Beckerz Bites! For those of you who know Teresa and I, you know we are always looking for something unique and cool to share with everyone. This week we have something that meets this criteria and more. I believe this to be a true hidden gem of a speakeasy, located in Detroit’s Financial District. It is located in the actual bank vault for the old Michigan Bank, which was located in the US Mortgage Bond Building, in the 1920s. We are talking about Shelby Detroit!
