Forans Irish Pub has made its home in a building with a rich and diverse history.The structure dates back

to 1879 and was originally the Traub Bros. & Co. jewelry store. The Grand Trunk Railway began using

the building as a ticket office in 1910. In fact, legend has it that Harry Houdini had a magic shop in the

lower level of the building. The Metropole Hotel turned it into a bar in 1935 and it has remained a pub

ever since. Forans is a Michigan historical landmark and a truly unique place.
