Detroit meetup preparation
l00ber
Tijuana and Detroit
Even if a sport coat is not required for entry, would I be turned away in a wife beater? I enjoy walking around in sneakers but should I pack dress shoes for higher end clubs? Would wearing custom tailored silk trousers and dress shoes hurt my negotiating position with the talent?
Are there any colors I should avoid showing? A touch of humor has been injected, but I am asking seriously. I've been to TJ, Central Africa, and Brazil, but this is my first time going to a statistically dangerous place.
Got something to say?

I've been in PH though with a polo shirt, dress shorts and a hat and never had any problems.
Most clubs will let you in with a nice t-shirt and jeans.
The only time I've ever had a problem at a club was one time when it was kind of cold out, I had a hoodie sweatshirt on and they made me take it off. (I had a polo shirt on under it).
Day shift is a bit more loose on the dress code. Like I said, I've been in most clubs with shorts on after playing golf.
Night time might be more strict. But it's really up to the bouncer or manager at the door most times, in my experience.
I have entered Detroit clubs in everything from a three-piece suit to business casual to jeans and a T-shirt. Now that I'm retired, I typically wear jeans and a (nice) T-shirt and Nike shoes to the clubs.

Club Venus has a sign on the door saying that motorcycle gang insignia are prohibited. None of you should want to go to Club Venus.
Detroit is not the post-apocalyptic hellscape that is so often described. It certainly has dangerous areas and dangerous venues, but you can easy avoid them. The clubs in the suburbs of Dearborn, Inkster and Romulus are not in bad areas. Day or night, I am completely comfortable going alone to BT's, Criket, Flight Club, Bogart's, Henry VIII, Landing Strip, or Subi's.
The 8 Mile Road area is a little more threatening. You don't want to walk down the street or stop at the gas stations or fast food places. Use the valet parking at the clubs or take a taxi or Uber. The clubs are clean and safe. I have never felt threatened in Penthouse, Coliseum, Trumpp's, or Players.
Exercise caution and good judgment. Don't go with a Detroit stripper back to her apartment for OTC.
