Hockeytown Cafe-Detroit

Been a few times. By myself and with the kids.
The downstairs bar has a band around the perimeter with ice chilled by the same technology that freeze ice hockey rinks.
I never experienced an occasion where I drank a beer so slowly that it needed to kept chilled. But the concept is cool.
Lot of Red Wing photos and memorabilia abound.
The place is across the street from the historic Fox Theatre and tne new Tigers Comamerica Park.
The place is a passionate sports bar but the best feature of all is the strong Canadian beer selection available.
There aren't many places south of border states that have a strong offering of Molson and Labatts products.
I had my illusion crushed when we visited the place with the boys, who were in Detriot for a travel hockey tournament. I did the tour of the memoribilia behind glass when my son turned to me and asked why there is still a price tag hanging on an apparent game used jersey.
At least I still felt like a kid in a candy store there even if the kids did not.
