Anybody ever been to Jumbo's? Do you dig it, hate it, or are indifferent to it? |

Jumbo's was considered up there with the Willis Show Bar,Anderson's Gardens, and the Roxy Bar when they existed. The Detroit Police vice squad knew of Jumbo's. Although I thought Jumbo's had a respectable reputation until about the late 1960's. |

The Roxy Bar was located on Woodward between Charlotte and Peterboro. |

Jumbo's is in a terrible, terrible neighborhood, but I love it too. Remy is an awesome bartender! I often get a good crew at Jumbo's whenever I bartend in Hamtramck on Sunday nights. They're usually already good and hammered. |

Whithorn, is the building that housed the Roxy still there? Or has it been razed? |

I believe the Roxy bar building is still there. The Roxy Theater building on Woodward a little south of the bar was demolished. |

Yes, it does. Bricktown Station plays there every other Thursday. As a matter of fact, I posted this thread because they invited us to play there this past Thursday and I had never been in the place. Just wanted to get idea of what the bar was like and couldn't make it down myself before the gig. |
