Beer. Whiskey. Sports. Dad. Sounds like a recipe for success on Father's Day. Thomas Magee's Sporting House Whiskey Bar is a great spot to take dad for some drinks and to watch the game. Because if there's one thing you can be sure of at Thomas Magee's, it's that there will be a sporting event featured on the many flat screens covering the walls. This recent addition to the sports bar scene will knock dad's socks off with its new, but "already a classic" vibe. The Irish pub meets modern Detroit atmosphere makes for a great combination that'll have dad talking about "drinks with his kid" for months.

So grab some beer and soak in the vibe of this unique industrial space destined to go down in the family history books as a great experience that you both enjoyed. This bar makes for a great spot for Father's Day bonding, or have a seat at the long, communal-style tables so dad can brag about what an awesome kid you are to everyone within earshot.
