Detroit History Tours
6:00 PM - Depart outside the restaurant on a private chartered luxury bus with Detroit History Tours on a 3-and-a-half-hour “Felonies and Misdemeanors; The Detroit Cops and Mobsters Bus Tour.”
Some of the world’s most notorious criminals, mobsters, and gangsters bamboozled their way through Detroit. Meanwhile some of history’s most infamous, brilliant, or honorable policemen tried to stop them. On this bus tour, escape into the city’s criminal underworld as we investigate stories about Jimmy Hoffa, prohibition, The Purple Gang, “Joe the Hood”, The Gotham Hotel, and the Detroit Mob families. We will hear the story of "La Mano Nera" or black hand extortionists, in Detroit at the turn of the century. We’ll explore the illegal liquor war of the 1910’s. We will also have opportunities to get off the bus, including visiting an iconic bar where we’ll learn about the police chief who resigned from his appointment as a judge to bring “civility back to the police”. The anticipated return time to our cars is approximately 9:30 PM
Parking - Metered parking lot adjacent to restaurant as well as street parking.
