    The Detroit Club is old school Detroit charm and elegance offering a hotel, restaurant, bar, spa…read moreand cigar lounge. While there is a membership aspect to it, it is open to the public. I had an event not too far from here, so I stopped in to try out their happy hour. First of all, it starts at 1 pm, which is pure awesomeness and runs til 6. The cocktail menu is top notch, with a wide variety of current popular drinks (they are actually known for their unlimited Espresso Martini Thursdays once a month) but they are stocked well enough to make almost anything you might want. Food menu, is actually quite amazing for a happy hour. If you've ever eaten at the Bohemia (the in-house restaurant) you know how good the food is. Old school, traditional, rich and delicious are the words I would use, and the happy doesn't skimp on any of those qualities. Just a better price. Anyone who has ever followed my reviews knows I'm a burger nut, and of course I ordered the smash burger. I genuinely loved this one. While typically I don't like a lot of sauces on my burgers, the zip sauce on this was delicious and the bacon was of the highest quality. If you get lucky to have Mike as your bartender, you're in for a fun, entertaining time. He has a thousand stories, a manic energy and makes fantastic drinks.

    Someone suggested The Detroit Club was a must-see while we were in town. We wandered in mid-day and…read moregot wonderful cocktails and great food. We split the smash burger and the burrata salad, and both were full of flavor. The architecture and decor felt rich and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. It was a great place to spend a leisurely afternoon.

    I truly join this club for cheap drinks. Now that I've made my confession I will let you know that…read morethis club is the most entertaining, diverse, fun to be around a group of people you will meet in Ferndale. Not only do they have great drinks and good entertainment. A place to sit on a Friday night. But the drinks are cold and the clubs presents in the community is large. Not only do they give to a national scholarship foundation they also give statewide but most importantly they take care of their City. They have a lot of local scholarships for kids, as well as programs that benefit the less fortunate. Our membership is strong, if you'd like to become one? Come on in. If you don't know anyone, just tell Angelica at the bar you want to be a member. She will sponsor you or gladly find you to sponsors to start you on your journey.

He is a member of the Elks and they have a special room upstairs to host events. This was most certainly a party to remember. The food was endless and the drinks bottomless! Lol those of us who were not ready to call it a night, headed down to the main level for dancing and Karaoke. Let's just say we closed the place and my feet will never be the same from so much dancing. It was an amazing night! I see a membership in my future.

    We've been members on and off for years…read more Several steel tip dart boards adorn the walls. Complete with throwing oches. Everything up to specs, too. A cozy little den on one side with shelves full of books. They provide comfortable leather chairs and beautiful wood dining tables for your comfort. There's even an old style English phone booth...with a working phone! Friday night is special with a fish fry including chips (ya know, fries) and only an authentic British fish fry would include mushy peas. I like the malt liquor for my fries and sneak a little lemon and tartar sauce on my cod. Head up to the full bar for something cold and wet to wash it all down. They have plenty of room with several tables to accommodate. But you need to hurry, rumor has it they've sold the building to Kenny's liquor shoppe, next door.

    Heard recommendations about the fish and chips open to public on Fridays at 5-7pm. They were not…read morewrong. The buildling can be easily missed in the evening for the area is not lighted well. Parking and entrance door is in back. So, you order from the bar your food and drinks. They hand you a food ticket. Then, you walk over to the sweet older ladies (in aprons that are running the food from the kitchen window) and hand them your food ticket. They may or may not ask your name so they may call your name or what is in your order when it is ready to pick up. It took about 10 min for our orders to be called. They do not use cod (heaven forbid!), rather large pieces of hake and it is hand-battered. The fish was very tender, delicious, and flavorful. Batter was light and crisp. The dish comes with slaw and bread. We got the mushy peas for the whole cultural experience. We also got the steak pie. It was like a beef potpie without the veggies, packed with steak and gravy in a very tender crust. All were very filling and delish. Besides the fish and chips, a major highlight was how friendly the members were, welcoming us so warmly. The sweet older ladies that served us are the the cutest, charming ladies with their accents. Whenever I ESPECIALLY hear a British accent, I feel like I am in a movie or TV show. It is just slightly surreal. I want them to keep talking to hear how British they are. I am just having my own personal show. Anyway... We will definitely come back.
