So with all of the recent happenings in the Motor City, I am looking to the experts for a little help. I have a couple of clients coming in for meetings at the end of the month, and we usually we go out a couple of nights to a great steakhouse and then to the 8 mile corridor for a little entertainment. I was speaking with one of them yesterday about the recent happenings and he sounded like I kicked his puppy.
So, I am asking the Motown regulars if I should plan on hitting the east side clubs, or the Dearborn/Inkster/Taylor clubs? Recommendations on clubs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Penthouse has its curtains down. So does Legends. So no more private areas in those two clubs. Bouzoukis has a open area where dances are held as it’s been for years. I’ve heard Coli is still business as usual and Players has a weird beaded VIP areas that some like and most don’t.
In my opinion, I see this as a phase. It’s happened before where Detroit politicians play all tough and things change for a while. But then it goes back to business as usual.
We shall see.
MackTruck, you should loiter in the parking lot of Bogart's.
Or maybe Henry’s South.
I think both have gravel parking lots with no valet. Perfect for that 18 wheeler.
Use the back door. Or the employee entrance by the ice machine.
For the time being, it sounds like Flight Club has become Detroit's new destination. I mourn Penthouse, but for now, at least we know where the talent has probably landed.
I've read this phrase now for the last 3-4 years in regards to the clubs getting raided and things dying down which is one thing. We are now talking about virtually all of the clubs now having no private VIP areas including just now the mighty Penthouse Club.
Here is my question: When is the last time a Detroit club was forced to remove their private VIP curtains....only to have put them back up? Can't think of any examples I've read these last handful of years now.
To the original poster: As a periodic out of state visitor to Detroit clubs I would steer clear of anything in Detroit. The only clubs I have ever visited are Penthouse, Coliseum, and Flight Club which is outside of Detroit. Next time in town I will only be visiting Flight Club, and may think of branching out to perhaps try BT's Dearborn, Cricket, or Landing Strip.
Most of the time it’s been the Club was shut down due to “liquor violations” for a week or two.
I still remain skeptical that it will last though.
The politicians and cops will want their kickback money and they won’t get it if the clubs close down.
Regarding bribes - if there was any club that could pull that off it would be Penthouse, but that is no longer the case as we know. Would love to read reports here soon of Penthouse and others adding back private VIPs. Otherwise, no private VIPs this is the new business as normal in Detroit.
