What is the definition of a "dive bar"? I'll admit that over my eight years in the Navy I hit a bunch of 'em (loved them all - even if I got in trouble at one by a base in Kings Bay Georgia). Well when it comes to a good dive bar, we've got a bunch of great ones here in the Motor City - but our friends at the 2 Way Inn have made a prestigious list of the 12 Most Iconic Dive Bars In America
Love the description of the 2 Way Inn -
2 Way Inn
Detroit, MI
The 2 Way Inn lays claim to being Detroit’s oldest bar. Established in 1876, it’s weathered every event that threatened to tear the city down. During tougher economic times (cough cough Prohibition cough cough), it’s doubled as a dance hall, a brothel, and even a jail. Everything in here is as old as the building itself, with worn wooden booths and a long, venerable bar. Bartenders don’t take shit from anyone, the owner still hangs around the joint, and patrons represent a cross-section of everyone that’s ever lived in or visited the Motor City.
The 2 Way Inn also made this of the Best Dive Bars in Detroit
Nice description of 2 Way Inn:
Two Way Inn is a historic dive bar that's worth visiting. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
The bar is packed with great cocktails at affordable prices.
They also have a pool table, and the place is spacious enough to throw a party.
The bar has a rich history that adds to its charm. If you're looking for a Detroit must-visit, this is the place to go.
Remember when we were talking about Miller Lite making a "Dive Bar" ice cream cone? I can imagine the folks at 2 Way Inn would be all over this!
