If anybody's ever found a bar downtown that doesn't feature at least one piece of Red Wings paraphernalia, pass it on. (I'm serious, I've looked. I don't think there are any.) With that said, of all the hockey-bar hangouts in Detroit, the tops still has to be Cobo Joe's. Even with competition like Hockeytown Cafe and Cheli's, Cobo Joe's ranks No. 1 in our book.
It doesn't hurt that it's right next door to the arena, at least for now. If the Wings do eventually move to a new stadium across town, here's hoping that Cobo Joe's is able to survive (and thrive) the way Nemo's has done even in post-Tiger Stadium Detroit.
