SOUTHFIELD (WWJ) - Luckily, there isn't a shortage of Irish pubs around the listening area to indulge in your favorite pint of Guinness or glass of Jameson Irish Whisky this St. Patrick's Day.
Downtown Detroit's historic Corktown is obvious choice for many. The city's oldest neighborhood holds a special place in Michigan’s Irish history. Corktown saw a large migration of Irish immigrants to the area during the Great Potato Famine of 1840s.

Many of the immigrants came from County Cork, Ireland, which reflects in the iconic neighborhood's name; it quickly became one of the largest ethnic groups in Detroit and where many Irish-themed businesses and restaurants claim their roots.
