Subi's Place

Southgate, MI

First visit in years

Subi’s is rather far from the rest of the action in the metro area. It is adjacent to a quiet seeming neighborhood south of Detroit. I almost am never in this part of town, but…

Slow night at FC

★★★★★★★★★7.0/10

I was in the area late without any early meetings the next day, so I hour I’d check out the scene before heading home. I almost never visit clubs so late, and it had been…

Convenient airport wait

★★★★★★★★★7.3/10

Fruitless Friday

★★★★★★★★★7.3/10

A dancer I like and see once in a while told me she would be working in the evening on a recent Friday, so I stopped by as the dayshift was ending. No cover, but…

Slow Monday night

★★★★★★★★★6.3/10

I happened to be proximate to BT’s on a pleasant Monday evening a few weeks ago. I rarely am out very late, but walked into the place at about 10. As it was a Monday,…

Coli after a long while

Unremarkable visit

Pretty girls, pretty much the same

Better luck next time

Evening visit after latest "shutdown"

First time at night

In the past, I have visited the Criket during the day, and most of the reviews I've read are about the day. I was in the area on a weeknight, so I thought I would…

Subi's Place

Southgate, MI

First visit to Subi's

★★★★★★★★★7.0/10

I'd read that those who like the Criket also like Subi's, so I thought I would give it a chance. I like smoke-free, low key atmospheres, and Subi's delivered on that front. It is just…
