It's more than 500 miles away by road, in a small college town on the Keweenaw, where a former Detroit Red Wing poured the drinks and Gordie Howe came to visit. It all started at the Lindell AC in downtown Detroit, often called America's first sports bar, where Mickey Mantle, Muhammad Ali and Gordie Howe walked through the door. The Lindell closed in 2002, but the idea never left Michigan. In this video, we rank 12 sports bars and diners that are still open, where Michigan fans have gathered for decades.
