Dearborn’s Top Dog Now Serves up the Blues

If you enjoy blues music then here’s an interesting event to check out in Dearborn Wednesday evenings.

Joe’s Top Dog Coney Island & Bar, 13342 Michigan Ave., (just down from City Hall), hosts a new jam blues session each Wednesday night from about 8:30 p.m. until 2 a.m.

What’s cool about how Top Dog owner Joe Bojovic has put this together is that this blues night is an open mic jam session. So if you have an instrument and want to play with the band, you can. Bojovic has been hosting the Wednesday night blues sessions for just over a month now and interest has really started to pick up, he said. There is no cover charge either, which is also nice.

“We wanted to try and peak some interest in East Dearborn with these sessions,” said Bojovic, who for 29 years has been serving some of the best coney dogs in Dearborn. “It’s a nice way to kick back and enjoy some good music and food with friends in the middle of the week.”

Dearborn blues band Jack Rabbit Slim kicks things off each Wednesday at about 8:30 p.m.

Drafts are just a $1, well drinks $2 and Long Island Ice Tea $4 until 10 p.m. each Wednesday. The grill is open until midnight so you can get Top Dog’s coney, burgers, chicken sandwiches and salads.

    Guinness on tap, and good Coneys! What a great combination, and the music is really good, too. I have been attending for a while, and it is a fun and inexpensive evening. Among the food offerings are handmade potato chips, and beer-battered french fries. Bartender Michelle recommends dipping that last in ranch dressing. The Guinness costs a little more than the other beers, but still a great price.

    Ever since Sully’s left and the Tenny Street closed, we have had to travel pretty far to hear the blues…Great news..

    Hope nothing but success for Joe, he deserves nothing else. He is always giving, now why don’t we return the favor.

    Mr. Deep, and to anyone else, let’s see you tomorrow night at the Top Dog! You don’t have to eat hot dogs or drink beer to enjoy listening to the music. It can be loud, no doubt, but it is good!
