Michigan bar scenes 1950’s

Planning a dumping trip and looking at a bars Facebook page led me to a trove of old pictures with tons and tons of breweriana. Something about pfeiffer signs and a fawn on the bar screams Michigan.

Interesting how most of those people were drinking their beer from a glass, not straight from the bottle. People used to have so much more class back then .

Also a whole bunch of interesting signs in the background.

Wow. If you were a guy in that town, you needed some major beer goggles.
