Coaches Corner attracts Comerica Park's demographic, minus the kids. Witness the pair of twentysomething couples shooting darts at the electronic dartboard in the front window and the white-haired guy in the Tigers cap bellied up to the bar. Manager and co-owner Bill Kingsbury says the bar's name has proven true, drawing folks known for their work with suburban high school sports teams. On the way in, you'll be greeted by a framed poster of the 1968 World Series-winning Tigers. A large version of the Old English 'D' dominates the back wall near the kitchen.
Long shelves have old baseball gloves and footballs.
While the decor is comparatively understated and decidedly baseball-centric, more varied memorabilia will be added. Step back for a better view of the building that houses Coaches Corner. Unless you're one of those perpetually shirtless guys in the bleachers, what you wear to the game will likely fit in at Coaches Corner. Expect plenty of jeans, sports jerseys and baseball caps. Then again, the bar's proximity to the Gem and Century theaters, Music Hall and Detroit Opera House means that more suits, ties and dresses will find their way here, too.
