Pedal, Sip, Eat, Repeat
A HandleBar or Michigan Pedaler ride burns calories (sort of), so naturally, food is part of the plan. Whether you’re fueling up before your ride or grabbing a bite after, here’s your ultimate local-approved list.
Before Your Ride
Hudson Café – Breakfast plates bigger than your handlebars. Perfect for morning riders.
Dime Store – Trendy brunch spot known for loaded hash and mimosas.
Bobcat Bonnie’s – Fun, affordable, and full of options for everyone in your group.
Mid-Ride Bites
If your group booked a route with stops, consider these:
Tin Roof – Great rooftop, fast service, and bar food that hits the spot.
Detroit Shipping Company – Multiple food vendors under one roof, plus drinks.
Checker Bar – Burgers, craft beer, and arcade games.
After the Ride
Lumen Detroit – Outdoor seating with a view of Beacon Park. Great for winding down.
Grey Ghost – Elevated but still chill. Ideal for a celebration dinner.
Iggy’s Eggies – Late-night comfort food window with breakfast sandwiches after midnight.
Insider Tip
Always plan ahead. Rides can work up an appetite, and weekend tables fill fast. A quick reservation at your last stop can make all the difference.
