The Stonehouse regulars have a saying, “Come as a stranger and leave as a friend.” There is also the more humorous, “Come as a stranger and leave even stranger.” The bar is also home to many local blues bands. Bartender Tally and his Easystreet Band, Christopher Leigh and the Boogie Chillens, the Immortal Winos and The Alley Cats perform at The Stonehouse regularly. Come Christmastime, the front windows are stacked high with toys and the place starts to look like Saint Nick’s workshop, as local bikers give generously to the Toys for Tots drive. Along with helping out with Toys for Tots, owners of The Stonehouse have put on many fund-raising gatherings to help injured local riders with medical expenses and the like.

So if you’re ever out riding Michigan Route 1 on the north end of Detroit, do yourself a favor — stop in at The Stonehouse for a cold one, and bring your camera to take a picture of your bike in front of the old bar. Whether you’re riding a Harley, Indian, Triumph, Norton or Beezer, the classic lines of The Stonehouse will surely complement your ride. — Ron Piskor (aka Norton Ron)
