Show notes

If you’re a regular listener and reader of Daily Detroit, you know that we know our way around a dive bar (yes, we know it’s time to update the list). We did start in the back of Nancy Whiskey’s after all.

Devon O’Reilly joins us on the Daily Detroit podcast to discuss Second Best, one of the newest bars around town, but it also has quite a divey quality to it.

Listen in the player above to find out.
