Nightlife & the Arts in Detroit

Detroit Nightlife

Much of metro Detroit's nightlife is centered downtown and in suburban Ferndale and Royal Oak, both home to numerous restaurants, bars, and clubs that are within walking distance of one another. The city's nightlife is concentrated along Woodward Avenue between Jefferson Avenue and I-75. Metro Times, a free weekly available throughout the metropolitan area, has a comprehensive calendar of events. Also be sure to check the arts and entertainment sections of The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press as well as the "Events" section of Hour Detroit Magazine.
