Nemo’s, Detroit, Mich.
Nemo’s may not have the bells and whistles of other bars on the list, but it has tradition, classic bar food, and sports memorabilia on its side. The bar, built more than 50 years ago, was next to the original Tigers Stadium, but now serves as a hub for all Detroit sports fans. Nemo’s offers shuttles to Detroit Red Wings and Tigers games as well as concerts, so it’s a major meet-up spot for before-, during-, and post-game shenanigans.
