St. Patrick's Day is several months away, but you don't want to wait until that holiday to enjoy a great Irish pub in Michigan. After all, Michigan has so many great Irish pubs, you couldn't hit them all on St. Patrick's Day, so you might as well enjoy them year-round.

Now, one bar is being called the best Irish pub in Michigan. Eat This, Not That put together a nationwide list ranking the best Irish pubs in every state. "There's not much better than cozying up in a proper Irish pub with a pint of Guinness or Irish coffee on a chilly day," they state in the article. "The best Irish pubs offer a civilized noise level, show local sports (but aren't sports bars), serve a nice bit of pub food, and are the kind of place you could take your parents or meet your friend—or meet new friends—on a Saturday night."

They added, "A tall order, yes, but we've applied these standards to our exhaustive search for the best Irish pub in every state. We scoured reviews, talked to locals, and looked back on our travels around the country to put together a definitive list of our favorite Irish pub in every state. Slánte!"

So, what's tops in our state? Nancy Whiskey in Detroit. "Between Detroit, Traverse City, and Ann Arbor it's hard to pick the best pub in Michigan, but this Corktown haunt is a favorite," the publication states. "One of the oldest bars in town, Nancy Whiskey has been serving up classic pub fare and cold drinks since 1902, and they have live music on Friday and Saturday nights."
