Editorial Review for Attic Bar – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Behind the humble facade of the Attic Bar lies a gem of authentic Detroit. Most nights, patrons come to hear timeless blues riffs issue from a makeshift stage as they sit at cloistered tables. A diverse crowd comes for the music and sometimes the bar even books some rock and rap. If the tunes don't cut it, never fear, as the Attic stocks more than a 100 unusual microbrews to enliven the evening.

On my first trip to Detroit (June 2006), I hunted this place down and it is worth the trip....IF you're looking for an authentic blues juke joint. It reminded me of the joints down in Mississippi, complete with dirty bathroom (they had some sort of police tape around the toilet..I hope as a joke) and a guy drinking his beer from a mason jar. Unfortunately for me, there was no band that night, but I could tell that this place could really get going. I had a nice conversation with the bartender/manager?/band booker and he really knows his stuff about blues musicians. Very friendly folks there and if I lived in Detroit, I'd be a regular. The only problem for this out of towner was finding the place. I had the best mapquest directions in the world, but there are virtually NO street signs in that neighborhood. Forget the foo-foo blues place downtown, head to The Attick!
Pros: The real deal
Cons: Finding the place
