Established in 1979 as a haven for Vietnam Veterans, the Old Miami has been called "the C.B.G.B's of the midwest" for it's history as a music venue. Almost every notable artist from Detroit has played on it's stage as well as many national acts of the punk/modern rock era. "Miami" is an acronym for Missing In Action Michigan and the walls are lined thick with Vietnam and other military momentums, many of which were given to owner Danny Overstreet by fellow veterans. A jukebox full of vinyl from Patsy Kline to Gang Green sits next to the pool table. Comfortable couches and chairs are placed by the fireplace and in front of the dance floor creating a relaxed den-like atmosphere.

The Old Miami has that knick knack hole in the wall character on the inside (including a private Vietnam War memorabilia museum), but has a beautiful park-like outdoor BBQ atmosphere in back. Great local and national bands too. Never forget to thank your hosts: Danny and Julie
