    Love this place! Tommy is the owner and he loves to take people on tours of the basement and talk about the bar's history. They need some funding, hopefully through the Preservation Society, to get to some hidden rooms in the basement but I know that when they do, there will be a goldmine of great historical pieces found. But more than that, it's a great bar. Good food, nice staff and a friendly following.

    Tommy's is one of my favorite spots. Lots of fun history in Detroit.

    Been there often throughout my life but never known they had tours. But good food there through my experience. If the walls at Tommy's Bar can talk, wonder what other stories they would say happened in the wild 1920s and 1930s probation era at Tommy's bar ?

    I’ve been to Tommy’s bar so many times for food and drinks and never knew any of this history🥴 Next time I’ll make sure to schedule that tour!

    I worked there from 2003-2008. I never ever went in the cellar alone. Only reason I ever had to go down there was to help the cook or owner bring stuff up. We use to also watch the fireworks from the roof. Probably one of my favorite places I ever worked.

    it's a shame Tom's Tavern closed before you got a chance to do a video on it

      Mernerwastaken yeah from what we saw it was pretty amazing! Though Tommy fixed up the place it still has a good, warm feel to it. Sounds like you know your Detroit bars! Cheers!

    Why would the Purple gang hangout here? Their headquarters which still stands also was a fortress that had 2 bars a kitchen, gym, shvitz and an indoor swimming pool.

      It's not like they lived there, but they supplied and ran the speakeasy for sure, so certainly they spent time there just like they would at any of their joints.

    I'm friends with the members of the Bernstein family. You can think I'm joking if you want to, but I'm dead serious.
