We’ve put together a fool proof list of venues in Metro-Detroit for those nights you need a night out more interesting than just dinner and a movie. These restaurants and bars are the perfect combination of great food and good times.
El Club
Amazing pizza and drinks + a great show. El Club in Mexican Town combines the best of music and pizza. We love that they have vegan and vegetarian pizza options. Our absolute fave is the Rosemary’s Kid: Goat Cheese, fresh rosemary, caramelized onion, minced garlic, mozzarella, and Michigan honey! YUM! You can find a list of upcoming shows on their website.
The Corner
We love this Ferndale gem! Besides an amazing food and drink menu The Corner in Ferndale also has nearly 500 board games available to play. If Scrabble isn’t getting you hype enough head upstair to Detroit Axe and compete with friends to see who has the best Axe throwing skills!
Punch Bowl Social
We’ve reviewed Detroit’s Punch Bowl Social a few times on our blog! You can check our menu reviews out here and here! Punch Bowl has more than tasty food though. Activities include Private Karaoke Rooms, Bowling, Table Games and a Vintage Arcade. This is a great choice for groups and a fun first date option!
Ready Player One
Food + Drinks + Arcade Games = The perfect night out in Detroit. You’ll find a fun cocktail list, draft beer and cans. Food includes burgers, chicken shawarma wings, and vegetarian tacos. Enjoy their Happy Hour Tuesday and Thursday from 5PM-7PM!
Cadieux Cafe
The Cadieux Cafe has been around since 1962. You’ll find an amazing beer menu and an extensive menu that pays homage to it’s Belgian roots. Belgian specialties include Belgian Beer Stew, Belgian Sausage, and Blackened Chicken with Belgian Beer Cheese Sauce. Come for the food but stay for the Feather Bowling! The Cadieux Cafe is proud to be the only home of Feather Bowling in the United States! This game is perfect for groups and so fun to play. Call (313)882-8560 for lane rentals and times!
