Elwood Bar & Grill
One of Downtown Detroit's most recognisable eateries, Elwood Bar & Grill is a retro art deco diner serving up American favourites. It was built in 1936 at the corner of Elizabeth Street and Woodward Avenue, but had to move to make way for Comerica Park in 1997. After the move, the diner was given a thorough makeover. Owing to its proximity to Comerican Park and Ford Field, it is popular with sports fans.
