Things To Do in Detroit at Night

When the sun goes down, Detroit lights up with energy and vibes. Whether you're in the mood for live music in a cozy jazz lounge, craft cocktails in a stylish speakeasy, or dancing the night away at a downtown club, the city offers something for every night owl. Catch a comedy show, take in skyline views from a rooftop bar, or explore late-night eats at one of Detroit's many food spots that stay open well past midnight. Whatever your scene, the D doesn’t sleep early.
