One Night in Detroit?

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be spending one night in Detroit on Saturday 1/27. I have no purpose in going to Detroit other than an insane frequent flier promotion with the airline I usually fly. I have not selected a hotel yet but am thinking about the Marriott at the Renaissance Center. Looking for ideas of things to do that Saturday night.

Looking for a rock and roll, rockabilly or punk type band, and will consider the casinos too. Local bands are great and I always like checking out new indie acts but I do not usually enjoy rap or hip-hop or trance.

Not interested in museums or anything for this trip.

Any recommendations for entertainment that night, or would you recommend a different hotel? I am not made of money but I am able to pay for a 4-star hotel.

Thanks in advance!

Oh, I should add... single 30-year-old female travelling alone. I travel alone a lot and I have common sense.

Answer 1

For the music scene in the Detroit area, check out the Metro Times web site. The music scene may dictate where you want to stay.

I would also check out the suburbs of Royal Oak and Birmingham. Good shopping, nightlife and a lot of options for bars, restaurants, clubs, etc (much safer too).

Answer 2

try the Leland City Club in the side door of the Ramada Inn Detroit

Answer 3

Don't travel in Detroit alone
