The Stonehouse Bar

The “oldest continuously operating bar in Michigan,” the Stonehouse has been serving its colorful assortment of patrons since before the Purple Gang legendarily made this 150-year-old Victorian farmhouse their clubhouse/brothel during Prohibition. Hidden on a one-way street in a rough neighborhood behind the State Fairgrounds, Stonehouse regulars are a bunch of tough-on-the-outside, mostly-friendly-on-the-inside, Harley ridin’ bikers. And when the circus or State Fair is in town, road-weary carnies join the mix! It’s amazing. Have your ultimate Detroit nightcap here, then kiss the city that raised you, "Goodnight and goodbye."
