An old-school dive with one excellent job: getting the night started before a nearby show.

NOAH’S TAKE

Temple Bar is better inside than the exterior suggests, and the patio surprised me the first time I walked in. I like it for what it is: a close, unfussy pre-show stop.

THE MOVE

Grab a drink before a show, check out the patio, then walk to the venue.

GO HERE WHEN

You’re headed to Little Caesars Arena or the Masonic Temple.

MAYBE NOT WHEN

You don’t already have a nearby show pulling you into the area.
