Hey I’m looking to book my Airbnb soon. (Yes I know it’s early but I just want this out of the way.). To all locals and chairpeople, is there any area in particular I should book? Like do we have a specific bar we think we’re going to end up at or a neighborhood we will bar hop in? I think I’m going to prioritize being near the local watering hole over being near the course

Here’s some options for cities relatively close to the course with good bar options, I’ll let others chime in about specific bars if they have an idea.

Royal Oak - walkable downtown, lots of bars to choose from (Hopcat, Rock on Third, Piano Bar, Morrie, etc.), younger crowd.

Ferndale - also walkable downtown with lots of bars, more eclectic mix of bars compared to Royal Oak.

Downtown Birmingham - older crowd with nicer and more expensive bars, further from course.

Clawson - not as many bars with a smaller downtown, but I’m a big fan of Renshaw’s.

I would probably center around downtown Royal Oak if possible

Alright awesome thanks for the feedback.

I’m impressed that you’re starting with the planning! I’m keeping an eye on flights and will likely pull the trigger soon…

Royal Oak, Huntington Woods and Ferndale are your best bets. Feel free to DM me any links of places you’re looking at. I live half a mile from the course and I’m happy to provide feedback.

As it turns out Mr. @TomCoyne is currently in our fair city of 10 million inhabitants and he’s ducking me. But he cannot hide here. He can go to all the pitch & putts he wants, but he cannot hide. Not from honor, at least.

I have told the in-laws we’re coming, which is more binding than buying plane tickets. What I need to know is how committed we are to the wrestling angle, because these are currently sitting on my watch list.
