DETROIT -- Grand Trunk Pub is located at 612 Woodward Ave. in downtown Detroit. The structure dates back to 1879 when it was originally the Taub Bros. & Co. Jewelry store. In 1910 the Grand Trunk Railroad purchased the building and in 1911, it was renovated as a ticketing office. Grand Trunk removed the second floor and added the arched ceilings reminiscent of railroad stations. It turned into a bar in 1935 and remained a pub ever since. Grand Trunk is a truly unique place and is officially a Michigan Historical landmark.

We stopped in Grand Trunk Pub for a bite to eat today. On the menu there are appetizers and snacks from mozzarella sticks to fresh guacamole and chips. The prices range from $3 to $7.75.

There are soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches. Also there are main dishes, sides and desserts. They offer quite a selection of food depending on your tastebuds.

We had the Wee Burger which is a classic hamburger with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles which is served with potato chips. I thoroughly enjoyed the burger as it was cooked to perfection. The burgers range from $6 to $9. The $9 Burger was the Foran burger. It is a 1/2 pound burger with corned beef, 1000 Russian dressing, swiss cheese and "stout" kraut.

The main dishes include Shepherd's Pie, fish and chips, meatloaf, and a quiche plate, among others.

There are over 170 bottled craft beers; some are made in Michigan.

I loved the atmosphere, it was very cozy and it did remind me of a railroad ticket office. I would recommend this pub to everyone. The nostalgia and atmosphere is something you'll never forget.
