Oak Parker

Oak Parker gets a geographic exception because this is my Cheers. I'm thrilled to have it within walking distance of home. The basement vinyl room is the neighborhood gem: a small bar, interesting music, and a room that makes me happy every time I go. The menu is limited, but I love the food—especially the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had, and I don't even like pastrami.

Get the pastrami sandwich and make an evening of the basement vinyl room.

A group date or one-on-one with your honey.

You need a broad menu or want to stay in Detroit proper.
