Whiskey in the Jar
Whiskey in the Jar is the place to see county commissioners rubbing elbows with University of Michigan intellectuals, young Hamtramck hipsters, neighborhood regulars and everyone in between. It's easy to see why: The tiny bar pours a mean cocktail for $3.50, and the bartender is liable to serve the room a shot if it's a good night. Whiskey in the Jar boasts a seasonal menu of beers from all over the world, and the outdoor patio is one of the best places to spend a summer night in Hamtown. --Ashley Woods
