Detroit Entertainment

  1. Apartment

    With a heaven and hell theme, this is the spot in Detroit for dancing. Housed in an old piano store, the venue is now a techno hothouse. If ever there was a masquerade ball for the apocalypse then this would probably be the place.

  7. The Bronx

    There isn't much there beyond a pool table, dim lighting and a couple of juke boxes filled with local garage rock. But that's the way the professors, hipsters, slackers and rockers like their dive bars. They also like the beefy burgers, free wi-fi and swell selection of beers.
