It's more than burgers and beer that earned a local bar national recognition in Sports Illustrated's list of the Top 25 sports bars.This week's Sports Illustrated features an article, "Finding the Perfect Sports Bar," which lists Nemo's Bar & Grill at No. 3 among the "25 Best in America."

This is what Sports Illustrated had to say about Nemo's:"When this Detroit standard-bearer opened in 1965, it was across the street from Tiger Stadium, near the Lions' offices and only minutes from Joe Louis Arena, where the Red Wings play. Only the Red Wings are still nearby, but the bar thrives. When the Tigers migrated to Comerica Park in 2000, Nemo's bridged the distance by buying some old school buses to ferry patrons to games and bring them back for a postgame quaff. The bar's loyalty to the Red Wings has also paid off: It was the first place owner Mike Ilitch brought the Stanley Cup when Detroit won in 1997."Issues containing the Top 25 list hit newsstands Wednesday, with widespread distribution on Thursday.
