Best of Metromix Detroit 2013New Bar/Club
Let's not become too dramatic: There are dozens upon dozens of incredible bars, clubs, pool halls and other great spots to head for a night out on the town in Detroit. These five at the top of the Metromix list opened in the last year. If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
And the winner is…
Live
102 S. First
Ann Arbor, MI 48104When adjoining clubs Live at PJ's and Goodnight Gracie closed in 2011, they were replaced by Live, which takes its name from its predecessor. Though Live definitely has a party vibe (college nights Thursdays and DJs Friday and Saturday nights), it changes course on Wednesday by offering live Americana and bluegrass music.
Nominees
Hangover Bar & Grill
17810 E. Thirteen Mile
Roseville, MI Unlike its 2009 Blockbuster comedy namesake, chances of multiple blunders will doubtless be rare at the Hangover Bar & Grill. The east side bar prides itself on its welcoming staff and atmosphere.
Ditty's in the City
36434 Groesbeck Hwy.
Clinton Township, MI 48035The 6,000-square-foot tavern caters to everyone during the day, but the mood shifts after 9 p.m. when it becomes a 21-and-up club with a large dance floor and stage.
Myst Ultra Lounge
28875 Franklin
Southfield, MI 48034Former NFL cornerback Chris Roberson opened the 5,000-square-foot space, transforming it from a short-lived sports bar to an ultra hip dance lounge. Its 240-person interior, and a 1,500-square-foot patio with couches and tables offers clubbers fresh air and a respite from dancing.
Other Side Lounge
4933 E. Seven Mile Rd.
Detroit, MI 48234Proudly serving Detroit's LGBT community, this cocktail/ martini-style lounge is gay owned and operated and features dancing, DJs and karaoke.
Last year's winner
Sugar House
2130 Michigan Ave.
Detroit, MI 48026Neighborhood: Corktown/Michigan Ave.
The past year saw a number of notable openings, including the Oakland and Valentine Vodka Distilling Co., both in Ferndale. But thirsty Detroiters gave top honors to the Sugar House for its classy vibe and inspired craft and classic cocktails.
