With major sports venues, including Cobo Arena, Comerica Park and Ford Field, located Downtown and well-ranked sports teams, Detroit is ripe for raucous revelry in the name of sports. Within walking distance from downtown Detroit sports stadiums, the Cock ‘n Bull Tavern is a rowdy, Irish sports bar just a few blocks from Ford Field and a popular post-game drinking trough. Considering that the Detroit Red Wings have a shameless National Hockey League record, Detroit hockey fans are belligerently proud of their perennial champs and celebrate justifiably at Detroit’s Hockeytown Café. While any Motor City sports fan knows that, hands down, the best after game party happens at the Post Bar over on Mack Ave.
