Doc's Sports Retreat

If variety is the spice of life, then Doc’s Sports Retreat in Livonia might smell pleasantly of cinnamon. More than 100 flat-screen TVs light up the bar with all of the day’s games, and 30 beers on tap afford endless possibilities of mixing, matching, and multicolored beer pong. Their American pub fare ranges from a char-grilled salmon burger topped with sautéed onions to jamaican jerk-chicken pizza. Specialty cocktails with funky names, such as The Brazilian Cosmo and Green Tea, round out the menu.

Between courses, patrons take to the game room for a round of Golden Tee or to plug away at video poker, a game that rewards its winners with deleted scenes from Rounders. Michigan Lottery games on hand include Lucky Lines and keno. The patio is open year-round, and WiFi courses throughout the bar. Live music can be heard every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
