Well after being on here for several years and reading about how great Detroit is for clubbing I'm finally taking the plunge next week. Right now I'm thinking on visiting the Flight Club, Coliseum, and then perhaps flipping a coin on Bogarts or Henry's for a seedier experience. Crickets seems like it's getting a few good reviews to of late. I feel like a kid getting ready to go to Disney World. Would anyone make any changes to this list? Looking for visits that include special times with Caucasian women.
Skwalker, buddy, the prescription for Viagra is filled and ready, I don't have a ton of problems in that area, but you mix in alcohol and the pressure of having to produce when good bread is being spent, I don't like to take chances.
The clubs near the airport are the ones to visit as things in Detroit proper have been cleaned up quite a bit.
Flight Club tops my list of recommendations. You will have plenty of beautiful Caucasian ladies there to choose from, but a visit doesn’t come cheap. I usually spend somewhere in the range of $300-$400 on a typical visit to Flight Club. Other clubs close to Flight Club that are worth checking out would be Landing Strip, BT’s and Criket.
If you do decide to go to 8 Mile, there is both Coliseum and Players. They are both close to each other, but a bit of a drive from the airport clubs as they are all the way on the eastside. No other clubs on 8 Mile are worth checking out.
There is also Subi’s over in Southgate, but that is really the only good choice in that area. The other club in Southgate is Henry VIII South (more on that club in the next paragraph). There is also Dream Girls in Lincoln Park, but that club seems to be more of a party club as they advertise cheap drink specials.
I have never been to Bogarts or either Henry’s (North or South). Based on reviews Bogarts is seedy, Henry’s North is seedier, and Henry’s South is the seediest.
Thanks for the tips ironman. I hadn't factored in Subi's but in checking it out it appears to get some good reviews and has reasonable pricing. I am really considering that over Henry's/Bogarts. I've been wanting to check out Flight Club for quite some time.
275 gave good advice I’m on the road a lot so time is money. I like to keep things close and condensed that’s why I’d skip coliseum. You can hit flight club, criket, Henry’s north, bogarts all within a 5 minute radius of each other and get the full flavor of Detroit clubbing on each end of the spectrum. Three others to hit but little further out landing strip, bt’s Dearborn and subis. My personal favorites are flight club criket and subis. Have fun & welcum to the motor $ity!
Also forgot to mention legends.... its downtown. Not the nicest area but they did have the hottest dancers last time I went. Not enough privacy for me to be comfortable with extras there but I had a good time.
By most standards Flight Club is the current top of the list for quality and consistency. As others have noted, this comes at a premium price point: mandatory valet, non-stop pressure to buy overpriced drinks, and VIP asking prices typically at least 50% higher than most competitors (up to the individual how well you can negotiate that down, or whether the quality is worth the added cost).
On the other end of the scale, Bogart's and Henry's (both locations) do $10 dance days. This won't necessarily reduce the price of extracurriculars, but it gives you the option of inexpensive "test drives." I'd say H8 South isn't worth the drive but the Inkster clubs are close enough to each other to easily hit both. You can also get a card leaving one good for same day/same shift admission to the other.
I'd second the BT's recommendation but clarify this is for the Dearborn location. I've never tried the one on 8 Mile but the reviews are consistently weak.
Another 8 Mile club that gets good reviews but not as much hype as Coliseum or Penthouse is Player's. Their VIP recently went to "beaded curtains" due to city restrictions, but anyone who's been to Follies can confirm with tje right lighting that's more than sufficient for privacy. Overall quality is (IMHO) on par with the other upper tier clubs, without the inflated pricing and nickel & diming that diminishes the Flight Club experience.
"What are the neighborhoods like? If you were to take an Uber would you worry?"
I only Uber to the clubs any more. The Flight Club, Bogart's and Henry VIII are in a commercial area of Inkster that is rather ugly but not dangerous. You could walk between these clubs in safety. The Landing Strip in Romulus is right beside the police station. Subi's is also in a safe area. These are not upper class neighborhoods by any means, but they are not gang-infested.
The 8 Mile Road clubs in Detroit are in more dangerous areas. But if you simply driver (or Uber) to the clubs and park in valet parking you will have not trouble. However, I would not take a stroll down 8 Mile Road at night.
Thanks for the additional input everyone, appreciate it. @willmunny, I'll have to read the reviews on Players, I hadn't researched it yet, but anything that avoids nickel and diming is a good thing. I don't know much about the drink pressure in these clubs but my standard answer is no, I'm buying lapdances from the ladies, not drinks.
The only club that has less "nickel and diming" is the Criket. I would start at the Flight Club and then descend through the Criket and the Bogies and then Henrys North. It is a sliding scale but all real close. Your funds will diminish accordingly but the fun may continue.
Well guys I ended up going to Flight Club, Subis , Bogart's and Cricket's. I enjoyed them all in their own way but the Flight Club is unbelievable. That place is a national treasure at the moment.
Dude you’re the man. I’m going for one night only but I’m hitting bogies and FC for sure. Subis might be in play now too. Hoping to fine some skinny chicks with big tits. They will own me if that happens. I’ll own them for 20 minutes too.
Stables enjoy you're visit to Disneytroit man. Bogies and FC are about a mile from each other and it is pretty comical to compare the difference. You get both ends of the strip club world less than a mile a part.But they are both fun in their own way.

1. Flight Club
2. Landing Strip
3. Subi's--not far if you're staying at a hotel near the airport
Bogart's and Henry VIII are both very close to the Flight Club. You might want to check them out before you go to FC.
The major downside to detroit clubs are the valet parking required. However thia could also be seen as safety feature.
