Rosie O'Grady's

Bu yer hakkında Rosie O'Grady's

Rosie O'Grady's at 327 W Nine Mile Road is as close to a neighbourhood anchor as Ferndale's gay strip has. The bar has been serving the Detroit metro's LGBTQ+ community on Nine Mile Road for long enough to have become part of the institutional fabric of the neighbourhood — the bar that regulars mention first when describing Ferndale's gay scene, the one with the longest community memory and the most consistent crowd. The format is the classic neighbourhood gay bar: good drinks at reasonable prices, a pool table, a jukebox, and a crowd that spans the age range of the community rather than targeting a specific demographic. Nine Mile Road in Ferndale runs east-west through the heart of the suburb's commercial district; Rosie's position on the strip makes it easy to walk to from Affirmations and from the other Nine Mile bars. For visitors to Detroit who make the trip to Ferndale, Rosie O'Grady's is the orienting venue — the bar that explains what the Ferndale gay scene is.
