    Quiet little place. Usually just a few older gay men from Indian Village and the nearby apartments, mixed in with some non-gay drinkers from the neighborhood. I knew some guys who hung out here trading increasingly drunken quips, but it was all pretty boring.

    My late friend Ron and I would stop in a couple times a month,and the bar itself would have been a great place if someone could have saved it but I understood the owner who lived in Grosse Pointe only ran it as a tax right off and really didin't care to fix it up how sad.

      I lived in a large apt complex in the next block. I didn't go often but the few times I did I always took someone home with me.

    I frequented the Club 49 in the late 70's and early 80's. I was very young. Was dating a bartender who worked there. Always had a great time. The entrance of the bar, had a silhouette of a man with a With a Top Hat and a cane made in the tiles. I'm looking for photos of that.

    I worked mornings on Sundays at The Deck Bar, after work we would load up a couple of van loads of people and descend on the "49". We'd load the jukebox up and had an awesome time. From time to time we'd bring along a guy who could play piano and he'd play that old out of tune baby grand behind the bar. GOOD TIMES!
