Our Monday Picks

Cliff Bell's
5 p.m.-7 p.m.

It's Monday, just outta work, want to grab a something before the game. Cliff Bell's has a pretty nice happy hour with half off their food. And might as well grab a drink while you're there.
Anchor Bar
7 p.m.-8 p.m.

Hundreds of downtown Detroiters can't be wrong with the pick of the Anchor Bar. And though it might be a little smoky for a non-smoker, it's a great place to rub elbows with other Detroiters.
Park Bar
8 p.m.-9 p.m.

A corner bar for all of downtown. Sit around the circular bar, order up a few drinks, and grab a shawarma from the connected Bucharest Grill.
Coaches Corner
9 p.m.-10 p.m.

If you're tired of some of the more mainstream sports bars like Cheli's and Hockeytown, head on over to Harmonie Park and hang out at Coaches Corner.
NCAA Winner designated bar
11 p.m.-Midnight

It's safe to say that the fans of the winner of the NCAA tournament are going to be losing their minds, euphorically speaking of course. And their designated bar should be teeming with excitement.
The Bronx
12:30 a.m.-Last call

It's been a long weekend, and a long Monday. What better place to end the Final Four than the Bronx with a quite beer and an excellent juke box.
