Outside, the street looks like any ordinary midwestern road: cracks in the pavement, sidewalks with overgrown shrubs, and telephone poles that lean slightly. But inside the Dakota Inn Rathskeller, visitors are instantly transported to Europe. Germany, to be exact, with a menu of authentic German dishes and decor that faithfully mimics old-world Bavaria. more 1. Family-Owned History Detroiters love nothing more than a story of hope and triumph, and the Dakota Inn embodies both. Karl Kurz bought the Inn - a former laundry service - while working for Henry Ford in Highland Park, and he renovated it on evening and weekends. The hard work paid off. The Inn opened August 1, 1933, and it remains the only authentic German bar in Detroit. It's also stayed in the Kurz family, who continue to own and operate it just as Karl did. 2. Real German Food At the Inn, every dish is like a bite of Bavaria. The house specialty Reuben soup comes topped with cheese and croutons, and the German-style potato pancakes are homemade. Patrons can also choose among such well-known favorites as bratwurst, sauerbraten, and homemade spaetzle. Sides include classic German potato salad and homecooked sauerkraut. For those looking to have the most realistic German experience possible, the Inn serves real German beer (please drink responsibly and in moderation, and never drink and drive!) 3. Good Times The best time to visit the Dakota Inn is anytime. Each night, someone leads guests in a sing-along about the Schnitzelbank, the German word for a woodworker's bench. This classic drinking song is one of the most beloved features of the Inn, when the rafters shake and everyone - young and old, new and regular guests - joins in. The singing is for everyone, even if the drinks are only for those of legal drinking age. Live music happens every Friday and Saturday night, giving a welcome backdrop for the sing-along. The annual Maifest celebration takes place in spring, and you're likely to see impromptu conga lines during the party. From mid-September to the end of October, the Inn celebrates Germany's traditional Oktoberfest, and beginning Thanksgiving weekend, patrons commemorate the holidays with weekly Christmas carol sing-alongs. 4. German Charm Karl Kurz opened the Dakota Inn in the heart of what was once Detroit's Germantown. That charm remains today, providing the feel of a Biergarten where German immigrants once laughed and toasted each other. This means polished furniture, walls covered in dark paneling, and hand-painted German scenes. Servers are even dressed in German-style clothing, leaving no detail to spare. But the charm of the Dakota Inn can be felt in more than its furnishings. It's in the air when patrons sing together and in the loud, raucous celebrations that happen every weekend. It's in the exchanges between staff and guests, who are treated like family even on their first visit. Now that you know of this hidden treasure, the only thing left to decide is what you'll drive to the Dakota Inn. Stop by Bill Snethkamp CDJR today and enjoy the convenience of hometown, hassle-free car buying.

If you like beer but you're not quite satisfied with regular beer brands, craft beer may be just the thing for you. These places in Detroit, Michigan, all offer a wide variety of amazing beers, so you're sure to find your favorite. more 1. Atwater Brewery Open since 1997 and located in the Rivertown District, Atwater District Brewery's initial goal was to revive Detroit's 19th-century brew making tradition. After a change in ownership in 2005, the brewery's popularity kept on growing, with Atwater's classic German lagers being a hit with both locals and beer enthusiasts from all over the world, having recently shipped beer all the way to Munich, Germany. Their beer menu is divided into several categories, based on criteria like seasonality and flavor. It may take you a while to find your favorite, but the journey will be just as fun as the destination. 2. Brew Detroit Located in a huge, 68,000 square-foot facility in Detroit's Corktown District, this brewery has only been operating since 2014  but has quickly established itself on the local craft beer scene. Their amazing taproom gives visitors the chance to try out the best beers, ciders, wines, and meads that Brew Detroit has to offer, with 30 rotating draft taps available. It's also ideal for multiple visits, as the products coming out of the 30 taps are constantly changing. Visitors who enjoyed this place's atmosphere can also use its 700-square-foot ballroom for special occasions in their lives, like weddings or birthday parties. 3. Motor City Brewing Works Having been open since 1994, this charming brewery is the oldest in Detroit that's still operating today. However, its location is deeply embedded in the local brew making scene, with Michigan's oldest brewpub, Traffic Jam and Snug, located right across the street. The location itself was initially home to another brewery until a local entrepreneur who grew up nearby bought it. He then hired local artists and craftsmen to decorate the venue using salvaged equipment and parts from Detroit's Industrial era. Nowadays, it's the place to find many amazing varieties of beers, ciders, wine, and sodas that you can enjoy on their lovely rooftop deck and beer garden. 4. Jacoby's German Biergarten Craft beer lovers don't always need to go to the source, as there are plenty of great bars around town serving many beer varieties. Having been in business since 1904, Jacoby's German Biergarten is the oldest that's still running. It's also one of the best places in the area for international craft beers, featuring large selections from Germany, Belgium, Canada, Scotland, and England, along with a local selection. It can also host any kind of private party, from bachelor parties to corporate events, complete with buffet-style eating and obviously lots of beer.

Are you visiting Detroit and looking to experience as much of its well-loved food as possible? Or, maybe you're a Detroit resident and you're ready to take your love of the Motor City's great grub up a notch. If so, here are three delicious Detroit dishes you have to try. more The Coney Dog Most people associate the Coney dog with Coney Island, New York, but have you ever tried an authentic Detroit Coney dog? If not, you need to put this dish on your list. Just keep in mind that the Detroit Coney dog may look slightly different than those in New York. Detroit-based Coney dogs are hot dogs on regular buns bathed in chili, raw onions, and mustard. The best places to grab a Coney dog in Detroit are American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island, two hot dog diners that offer simple menus and delicious food. American Coney Island boasts its offering of "Detroit's original Coney." This restaurant uses a specially seasoned natural skin casing hot dog and its own secret chili recipe for a truly unique Coney dog experience. Lafayette Coney Island is also known for its famous Coney dogs, which are loaded with chili, cheese sauce, and fresh raw onions. Order a dog (or two) with a side of chili fries for a meal you'll never forget. Detroit-Style Pizza You haven't had pizza until you've had Detroit-style deep dish pizza. First introduced by Buddy's Pizza in 1946, this special kind of pizza boasts a thick, fluffy texture, a square appearance, and crispy edges. Detroit-style pizzas are cooked in blue steel pans so that the cheese caramelizes along the edges. The best place to grab a slice of Detroit-style pizza is at the place that started it all: Buddy's Pizza. Buddy's has several locations throughout the Detroit metropolitan area, and their pizza has ranked as one of the best in the nation. In addition to traditional Detroit-style pizza, Buddy's also offers gluten-free and thin-crust pizzas, appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and desserts, so you're sure to find something you'll love. Paczki Paczki are traditional Polish pastries filled with a sweet filling like jelly and frosted or dusted with powdered sugar, and they have become a well-loved Detroit treat that you have to try before you leave the Motor City. These delectable donuts were primarily celebrated and eaten on Fat Tuesday. This is because, many years ago, Christians celebrating Lent had to get rid of all of the sugar, fruit, eggs, and lard in their homes, so they used those ingredients to make paczki. Several bakeries throughout Detroit offer paczki as a regular staple on their menus. A few bakeries you should check out include Dutch Girl Donuts, New Palace Bakery, New Martha Washington Bakery, and the Apple Fritter Donut Shop. While you can stop by any location for some delicious paczki, New Place Bakery is a local favorite because of its wide variety of flavors. Whether you're in the mood for something savory or sweet, you're sure to be satisfied with any of these iconic Detroit dishes. Photo by Robin Stickel from Pexels
