Here Are the Corktown Restaurants to Check Out Now #DetroitFood
From casual taco trucks and vegan-friendly destinations, here’s where to eat in Detroit’s first neighborhood
Corktown is Detroit’s oldest existing neighborhood and as such, has a wealth of culture embedded on every block. The neighborhood, situated on the city’s southwest side, just west of downtown, was named after the County Cork in Ireland, in recognition of the influx of Irish immigrants who made their way to Detroit in the 19th century. Through the generations, the area has worn many hats: welcoming the first waves of Mexican immigrants, becoming home to several legendary sports bars, thanks to its proximity to old Tigers Stadium; and more recently, has become a major transportation hub with the installation of Michigan Central Station. Now, the neighborhood is home to one of the most dynamic food and drink destinations in the city — featuring old-school dive bars, vegan-friendly diners, award-winning experiences, and chill breweries.
With the redevelopment of Michigan Central Station and a spike of interest in real estate throughout the surrounding area, Corktown continues to draw thousands of residents and visitors every year. Whether you’re in the neighborhood for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Opening Day, to catch an indie garage band, out for a drink, or are looking for innovative approaches to dining in the city, Corktown’s where it’s at.
