1978 was a very special year for Detroit residents.  The Post Bar opened at Congress and Cass and quickly became one of the hottest spots in downtown Detroit.  Owned and run by family – blood related and not – The Post was the place to kick back, put up your feet and let the music and drinks take you away.

With Joe Louis Arena just around the corner, the Downtown Post was, is, and always will be the best place before or after a Red Wings game.  Not to mention that it is also a favorite among the Red Wings players and opposing teams’ players.  The Post is so much a favorite, in fact, that the Stanley Cup has made numerous trips to The Post Downtown and we’re pretty sure it had fun!

We’re not certain if it’s the graffiti-covered walls, or the bar’s ‘anything and everything goes’ attitude, but people come from all over to visit one of Detroit’s oldest drinking establishments.  From Brighton to Clawson, Royal Oak to Port Huron, they come to experience The Post and all the memories that it holds.
