Hockeytown Cafe

  • November 14, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by catronma from Nixa, Missouri
I love this place! The main-floor bar area is not to be missed, as it is the most unique bar I have ever seen, made of frosty metal to keep your drinks cool while you have them, and to look like a rink. There is Red Wings articles decorating the walls, like a Hard Rock Cafe for hockey fans. It's a must for all Red Wings fans as well! The Second City Comedy club is also downstairs, a popular comedy place in Detroit so if you have evening plans there this is perfect. Within walking distance to Downtown Detroit, Joe Louis, and across the street from Ford Field and the new tiger stadium, so it can and does get crowded before and after games.

Hockey Town Cafe

What the Hard Rock Cafe is to music, Hockey Town Cafe is to hockey. The staple sport in a city long known for the tradition of the Redwings, Hockey Town Cafe is a fun restaurant to visit with the family. Check out the displays that highlight the history of the sport as well as the games that are, for the most part, sports related. (Think ESPN Zone meets Hard Rock Cafe). Being the only, or at least one of a few hockey themed restaurants, former greats of the sport are often dropping in for autograph signings or for radio show hostings. If you're actually visiting for the food, they have an eclectic blend that ranges from burgers to steaks. I would recommend their burgers which are grilled thick sandwiches piled high with toppings and take the time to check out their dessert menu which looks fantastic. As can be expected with a theme restaurant, you're not likely to escape the front doors without a stop in the gift shop but you're likely to find that the prices aren't quite as bad as other theme restaurant gift shops. If you're into hockey or just looking for a fun alternative for family dining, give the Hockey Town Cafe a try!
