Editorial Review for Old Shillelagh Irish Club – by Andy Olesko
In Short
The crowd is casual, friendly and always diverse. With performers doing traditional drinking songs, it's common to hear some singing along. There are 20 imported beers on tap; the menu offers traditional Irish food, such as corned beef and shepherd's pie, as well as typical bar fare. There's live music on the first floor seven days a week. Folk bands perform on the second floor on Fridays and Saturdays.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasTake a shuttle to a Red Wings game for free. All you need to do is arrive early (and perhaps have a beer).
Know Before You GoAlthough the bar is busy Fridays and Saturdays, the Old Shillelagh also fills up during the week when the Tigers or Red Wings are in town.

My parents and my younger brother have been recommending this bar to me for years, but I stayed tried and true to another establishment, which after six years of loyalty, I outgrew. So I tried the Shillelagh, and what a difference! The staff knew me by name after my first visit, and now treat me as family. The prices are reasonable, the selection is fantastic, and the bands are entertaining (the upstairs band far outweighs the downstairs band in entertainment value, however). It's a must-go-to bar for anyone in the Detroit area.
Pros: Popular, Untrendy

This is a GREAT place to have lots of fun. Highly recommend the second floor on weekends but arrive earily, seating is limited and fills quickly!
Pros: GREAT BANDS, GREAT BEER, FUN FUN FUN
