About Chick's Bar

A Detroit institution since the 1940s, Chick's Bar upends the concept of a "dive bar". The bar, itself, is emphasized by atmospheric red lighting and backed by a flat-screen television, inviting patrons to unwind with a beer or fine spirit while they banter with the bartender or watch the game. High-top tables are interspersed throughout the space for groups to chow down and converse comfortably. Chick's also plays host to events such as its weekly "Fish Fry Friday", which has gained such popularity that it is called out directly on the building's awning and draws attendance from both locals and tourists, alike.
