The Wayfarer Bar & Pub ·$$

Formerly the Detroit Bar, The Wayfarer is owned by Jeff Chon and follows in its footsteps, but with some slight twists. You can only enter this watering hole if you are 21 years of age or older. Its rustic American look is inviting, and it is a great place to enjoy happy hours, live music, and good food. You will find various genres of music played here by talented local musicians and DJs. Take a sip of draft beers, specialty cocktails, and whiskey, and nosh on bites like Korean Fried Chicken, Charred Peppers, and Mom's Mac.
