"Talk with any longtime sports fan in the city and chances are they’ll have a heyday story from Nemo’s during the Roar of ’84. Losing Tiger Stadium just up the road didn’t slow Nemo’s down. This Corktown bar has weathered the decades since its 1964 opening thanks to its famous griddle-made burgers and its dedicated customers, whether longtime regulars or new transplants to Corktown. It’s still a great jumping-off point for Tigers’ home games as it offers a shuttle to the downtown stadium." - Courtney Burk
"With more than 50 years of service to the Corktown neighborhood, this Tigers bar has staked a spot in the Detroit burger pantheon. Order the burger and dress it up with Nemo’s special mustard sauce. Vibe check: Detroit sports fans appreciate the commitment that Nemo’s has to the local teams, with much of the space decorated accordingly." - Danny Palumbo

"For more than 50 years, this Michigan Avenue tavern has catered to baseball and hockey fans, though the Tigers have long since moved out of Corktown. The bar is known for serving a classic griddle-made cheeseburger and stiff, affordable drinks. Dedicated customers, whether longtime regulars or folks just visiting for game day, can appreciate the sports-infused memorabilia that fills the space, offering an old school vibe." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Nemo’s, a classic Detroit sports bar and restaurant just yards from where the mighty Tiger Stadium once stood, features live music every weekend and is a beloved destination for Opening Day. Here, the kitchen keeps things simple with big, classic beer-battered filets and french fries paired with tartar sauce that’s livened up by celery seed. Nemo’s is a great place to catch a game as its walls are lined with a vast collection of sports memorabilia, so be sure to visit in the spring for some fried fish and baseball." - Serena Maria Daniels
