American Heart
Association

seats in front and 86 in back
plus 10 seats and a bar.
In the Front Room, with its
stained glass, Tiffany lamp
shades, wall paintings, crests,
smoked mirrors and brown
leather booths, highly touted
Jim Bajor is on piano playing
listening music Tuesday,
Wednesday, Friday and Satur-
day . . . His two albums are
standouts . . . The piano bar
has seven chairs . . . and is a
favorite of many.
The small, open-grille kit-
chen at Caucus Club might
tend to have folks ask the
question of how such ex-
cellent food can be prepared
there . . . Between chefs like
Arthur Calloway and Ron
Winninger, high-quality in-
gredients and preparation,
much vent is given to the ac-
clamation that great Caucus
Club cooking could be done in
a closet if necessary . . . Ex-
ecutive Chef Arthur Calloway
has been at Caucus Club
almost three years . . . He was
with Jimmy Schmidt about
eight years at London Chop
House.
Can't forget my dessert .. .
boisenberry sherbet on a bed
of melted custard with an
Italian apple torte in the
center . . . Such deliciousness
you just don't imagine . . . Big
favorite at the Caucus Club
continues to also be its fam-
ed goldbrick sundae which
another enjoyed with closed
eyes.
"The Caucus Club is the on-
ly place," says Nancy, "where
when you reach the back
room, you've arrived!"
Barbra Streisand sang here
before her heyday . . . and now
Sheri Nichols has the au-
dience in the palm of her
hand as she sings with em-
phasis on high
entertainment.
She is an entertainer's
entertainer . . . comedienne,
songstress, actress at the
mike, crowd pleaser and a
very clever handler of her
masterful material mixture
. . . Sheri is high talent .. .
appearing Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, 8:30 and 10:30
shows.
The night I was there, he
song, "Seems Like Old
Times" for the crowded Back
Room Grille was meaningful
. . . Sheri last played the
Caucus Club a few years ago.
There is no serving while
Sheri is on . . . singing "All
That Jazz" or whatever with
her varied animations to
much highly-deserved
applause.
Sheri's facial antics are
great . . . Those in back of her
miss out . . . and some prefer
to stay for a second show .. .
so they can get a seat facing
her.

Why Sheri Nichols is con-
sidered among Detroit's
finest entertainers is very
evident.
The famous character and
Toby Mugs at Caucus Club
are not for sale . . . These
Royal Doulton collector items
in the likeness of humans
since days of yesteryears are
in both rooms . . . and another
very precious Caucus Club
trademark.
Fine wines may be obtain-
ed by the glass or bottle.
Many former Caucus Club
patrons of yesteryears are
beginning to rediscover that
favorite place across the
street . . . It is certainly the
fervent hope of its seven
owners that they continue to
do so.
Caucus Club hours are
lunch, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday-Friday; dinner, 5-9
p.m. Monday, 5-11 p.m.
Tuesday-Thursday, 5 p.m. to
midnight Friday and Satur-
day . . . Caucus or Happy
Hours with complimentary
hors d'oeuvres are Monday-
Friday, 4-6 p.m.
The Caucus Club of today is
again much like the rich-
tradition operation it was in
the fine hours of yesteryears.
That the Caucus Club is
back on track makes for plea-
sant memories revisited .. .
And it is certainly with much
fondness that those memories
are cherished.
Return of the Caucus Club
to its original state of accep-
tance is high achievement.
It has again won a mean-
ingful 1988 Dining Distinc-
tion Award from Holiday
Travel magazine . . . Dark
mahogany woods still blend
with cherrystone for elegant
styling . . . Prices are still
within reason for the highest
of standards among food, ser-
vice and entertainment .. .
Contemporary and tradi-
tional matchings continue to
dominate in the subdued at-
mospheres . . . Its New
Yorkish propriety is still an
apparent distinction . . .
Above all, so many people
who forgot have suddenly
been awakened to a
marvelous realization . . . the
Caucus Club in the Penobscot
Building is still there.
OVERHEARD . . . at
Gateway Deli, 11 Mile and
Lahser, Harvard Row Mall,
"Many of us don't know what
poor losers we are until we
start dieting" . . . at Sila's, 12
Mile east of Greenfield, "My
wife says she only asks for pin
money. But the first pin she
wanted had 12 diamonds in
it" . . . at Dorian's, Van Dyke
and 14 Mile, "If a pickpocket
would go through my pockets
now, all he would get is exer-
cise."
