Detroit

I am going to be going a business trip to Detroit in a week or so. I will be staying in a downtown casino. I will not have a car, so will be relying on Uber, Cabs, or, god-forbid, public transportation.

I am looking for a good club to visit one night. Since I don't have a car, I don't want to have to take cabs all the time to check out more than one place. Nor do I want to pay a fortune in Uber. I also don't want to go to a club downtown because, well, I would prefer not to run into people I know from the meeting.

I get that "good club" is vague. For me, a good club is a place that is not too expensive; where the dancers look like real people (somewhat older and somewhat thicker are okay, and maybe a positive). I like women of different ethnicities and races (I am white, if it matters.) I like friendly dancers.

What suggestions do people have?

Don't pay any attention to this faker. He thinks he's cool being the dumbass him and his alter egos are here.

I would recommend Flight Club in Inkster and BTs in Dearborn. They are both on the same street but about 10 minutes apart. Flight Club is the further of the two away from your hotel and an Uber estimate runs about $20-25 each way.

If you are going to be downtown at the casinos, you have your choice of Bouzoukis and Legends. If you are staying at Greektown, you can literally walk to both, and forgo the Uber or cab altogether. If you are staying at either Motorcity or MGM, you'll have to get a ride. But it's quick. 5 minute drive to those two clubs. I'd recommend Legends out of the two of them:

Flight club and Penthouse are the most expensive and both you will need a fairly long drive to from downtown (most clubs are on Detroits city limits, and Detroits city limit area is quite large.)

Depending on what day you are going to be in town, Friday and Saturday nights can be very busy at many of the clubs. Week nights not so much, but can still get busy. Day shifts during the week are more casual and not as busy.

For mid price clubs, people have been giving good reviews to cricket in Dearborn and Landing strip in Romulus. I personally like Players and to some extent Coliseum (both are close by each other) but you will need to take an Uber or cab to any of those.

BT's on Michigan Ave would probably give you the experience you want. Take an Uber. Don't even think about public transportation.

I would say Criket in Dearborn would be a very good choice based on what you are looking for. I was there on a Friday night about a month ago and they had a good ratio of all types of dancers. If it is variety you are looking for, you will find it at this place. Your money will also go further at this club than it will at other comparable clubs.

That is just my $.02 for what it is worth. The other locals who have already posted on this thread do have better insight as they've lived in the area longer than I have, and they've been to all the clubs in the area, where as I've only been to a handful of clubs so far.

Let's not overlook Henry VIII South. He wants an experience. :)

Both of our resident dancers have stated that Bouzoukis has gone downhill badly and are both working at Legends although I have never clubbed in Detroit I'd listen to them and JackSlash or Vince Micheals.

The man clearly said "I also don't want to go to a club downtown", so why are we even discussing Legends and Bouzouki? If he asked "Which soft drink should I order?", would you suggest bourbon or tequila?

I've been only to the Inkster clubs (Flight Club, Bogart's, Henry's) plus La Chambre, the Criket (sic), and Henry's South. @felipe, based on my own limited experience in Detroit-area clubs, my recommendation is the Criket: real women, ethnic diversity, reasonable prices, and very high mileage. It's the only club that I *always* visit on my annual pilgrimage to the D.

The Michigan Ave clubs would be best for you. BT's in Dearborn is about 10 minutes west of Downtown. The Criket is an excellent choice and about 15 - 20 minutes west of Downtown on Michigan Ave.
