Ever want to have a great night out but just don’t even know where to start or what is out there? Hopefully this list of places I’ve been and a few stories about them can help you find a new spot to begin an adventure and make a memory.
The Morrie
511 South Main St.
Royal Oak, MI
Price Point: $$
They have live rock ‘n’ roll and cover bands on the weekends at night and during brunch. American bar food that is far above what you’d think of normal ‘bar food’ and craft cocktails make it a classic.

What should I drink here?
My cocktail of choice here is usually a gin gimlet (one of the classics), and I also usually check out their specials board because it’s always rotating and has something great to choose.
What’s their vibe?
The Morrie is a neighborhood bar during the week. You’ll run into regulars and it’s usually low key with a couple professionals meeting up for happy hour. On the weekends - when the live music hits, and especially in the summer - the crowd gets younger and the atmosphere gets more lively. It’s a good spot to have people meet up when you don’t know how many are actually coming. I like to congregate around the bar-height tables and just hangout and let people trickle in.
