I am going to Detroit for the first time at the end of the month. I'm hoping to go to the Motown musuem. Can anyone recommend bars/record shops/anything else?

Thank you.

 

Google 'bars in the cass corridor'

I particularly like honest?johns (sic) at 488 selden which used to have a great jukebox.

Remember Bakers on the outskirts of town for live music

I've not been to Detroit for 10 years but miss it big time

 

People's Records has to be on the list. Google it for the address and an interesting insight or two. Plus the owner (when he's not dj'ing around Europe), Brad Hales, is a member on this site.

Be careful you don't spend hours sorting records for some shops, then they price them at full retail.

Hello Records, Street Corner, Found Sound and Record Graveyard are worth visiting.

was in touch with Brad / peoples records last may............

said honest John had sold his bar

Bakers jazz lounge is a winner for sure........we visited on a Wednesday night, amateur/jammin' session-top drawer musicians!!

Thanks very much for that
