Ever want to have a great night out but just don’t even know where to start or what is out there? Hopefully this list of places I’ve been and a few stories about them can help you find a new spot to begin an adventure and make a memory.
WHERE
SHOULD
WE GO?
This is the most common question I get asked. And it’s different for everyone depending on what type of night you’re trying to have! Are you throwing a birthday party, having a first date, celebrating your anniversary, or just want somewhere to have a chill night?
Hopefully this list will help you decipher what types of places to hit on your night out!
Weeknight cocktail:
I’m trying to have a great weeknight cocktail without the pomp and circumstance.
There are so many options for an average, nice night out - so there is no right combination. However, if I were to put one together for my friends and I, this is where I’d love to go:
Downtown detroit
The Whisky Parlor
Takoi
Motor City Wine
Royal Oak
Iron Horse
The Morrie
Goodnight Gracie’s
Motor City Gas
Low key, low maintenance:
I know it’s only Tuesday, but I need a beer where wearing sweats in public is ok...
Sometimes you want to go out but don’t want to put on a full face of makeup after you’ve already showered from the gym. So where can you go that’s a chill neighborhood bar where you can pretend like you’re sitting on your own couch.
