Great bar with awesome events and a fun vibe, but the bathroom situation seriously needs improvement. Also, having only two bartenders for 250+ people is not enough -- service was extremely slow. With crowds this size, more staff and better restroom accommodations are needed. Someone also stole my credit card and watch here. read more

Marble Bar - Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I have been coming here for years. I will always choose going to Marble over any other spot. From ALL of their security always making sure I'm safe and others are safe, to the friendliest and most attentive bartenders, you can't beat it. The parking lot is right across the street for free. It's a more relaxed crowd which I especially love (30s usually instead of sometimes potentially "creepy/inappropriate" young 20s you may run into at other venues). I tell everybody to come here. I've never once had an issue or complaint. The sound system is superior to any and all other venues. There's a patio with plenty of seating if you need a spot to chill. Come to Marble! You will fall in love! read more

Came here on one of our stops while bar hopping with my boyfriend and his friend on Friday . Unfortunately it was raining, so it was very dead. The outside dance floor was cool. Can't really know what vibes are when it's busy. There was a cover fee just a heads up. We got a few drinks here. Tried a green tea shoot for the first time. It was sweet. We also got lemon drop. We ended the night with me getting a Paloma, my bf got a blueberry cider which was good.would love to come back next time I am in town and hopefully a busier day to see how the vibe is. read more

I visited Marble Bar to attend a Moth Story Slam. This is a very nice venue for that. There is a very long bar on the right wall as you enter. The stage is straight ahead. The acoustics were fine. The staff was friendly. There was no air conditioning . There were fans. At intermission they opened the doors and the place cooled down. Marble is on Trumbull and Holden. The neighborhood has been cleaned up . Parking is on street . The area seems safe. read more

I love what they've done w the venue space inside. Very airy and well ventilated (a must have in any club scene) acoustics are nice, fairly decent variety of events all the time (all nighters and Dj sets) . I have not tried the food due to previous reviews I've seen (I tend not to eat at bars, anyway) , but the drinks are always made well w average prices (alcohol ratio wise) . It's in a cute pocket of Detroit I am familiar with and it's stood the test of time. Love a lowkey spot (: read more

Bartenders worked hard to keep your drinks filled. Crowd was young and old, great mix. Love the different sections including an open space outside read more

The other reviewers are totally right about the low stage. I'm 5'2" and very grateful to the tall gentleman at the front for letting me stand in front of him, even though he probably got in line early and waited for hours to see his favorite band. Either don't be short, or get there early to get a close spot if you want to see more than the tops of the heads of the guitarist and bass player. The place looks nice inside and is surrounded by a currently unfortunate neighborhood, but if I know my Detroit, it will be the newly gentrified hipster center within a year or two... The sound system was fantastic and the bands all sounded great. There is no "back stage" to get to from the stage itself, so there's an awkward moment at the end of shows where the band has to "excuse me" themselves through the crowd to get out of the main room, but the whole set up makes for a pretty intimate experience for the concert goer. We were not in a drinky mood so I can't comment on the bar or it's wares other than to say the staff all seemed very nice and no fights broke out among staffers and patrons while we were there, lol. read more

incredible place. hottest staff, they're so funny, they care so much about you getting great service.... i would love to work here if i lived in detroit! read more

Fun place , been coming for some years now. That all changed when I found a PEEPHOLE in the bathroom and someone peeping in on me while I was doing bathroom things!!! Make sure you guys check twice before using the upstairs bathroom. There is a broom closet right next to the bathroom that has a rip in the wall specifically to peep in on the bathroom. DISGUSTING CREEPS. read more

Great spot for dancing. Inclusive of all walks of life. The outdoor patio was entrancing with rotating disco SKULL (not a ball). Wow! Awesome djs, good drinks. Dancing goes well after 2am. But FYI- The neighborhood seems a little sketch late at night. (My only gripe is that they have just 3 toilets. Not good for people who like to drink and dance.) read more

Marble Bar - Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

If you are weird or enjoy weird people, this is the bar for you. Marble Bar hosts grand space and one of the biggest disco balls I've ever seen. The bartenders are always chill and welcoming. Beer and cocktail prices are pretty fair. They host a lot of concerts and events, so there may be a cover charge. There's a mezzanine upstairs you can escape to for some privacy or prime people watching. I love their backyard patio... you'll find the most eclectic mix of people out there. I hate to use the word, but this is 100% a hipster bar, but I mean that in a good way. Everyone is welcoming but way too cool for a normal bar. That's what Marble Bar is... a normal bar for weird people. read more

had a lot of fun. good atmosphere and music. bouncer in cowboy hat was rude to me and my friends :c

We ventured out for a fun night in the city. Located in a downtown neighborhood, I was surprised to see such a hopping location for a bar/dance club. I was impressed with the diversity of the crowd and the DJ's played unique mixes all night long. This bar has two separate dance floors filled with the most modern beats of the city. The bartenders are awesome....overall, a great spot to hang out and dance the night away! read more

Hip bar that offers an assortment of events in New Center. Marble Bar is a very cool venue and bar that hosts a variety of events. On weekends they typically have live music or a DJ, and during the week you may catch a food truck event, the Moth or a band. Unlike some bars Marble will have a very different turn out depending on what event is happening. I definitely recommend checking out their Facebook page before you go to see how many people are attending. I've been in on a random Saturday night and there were maybe 15 people in the whole place (and they were still charging a cover!) They also sell out of tickets for many things, so buy in advance if you can. Quick note: -The bathroom situation is not ideal. Go before you get there if you can to avoid the bathroom line. read more

Came here last night for their House Party event. We had the best time. We are not the typical demographic, being older (50's) suburbanites. But, no one looked sideways, nor treated us any differently than any of the other lovers of great music. They were packed to the gills, but not a "meat market"atmosphere. I was blown away by the talent of the DJs. It's great to have a place to come to, to hear originality. This place is a gem. read more

Had to comment on some of the corny people doing reviews on here. This is Detroit. Epicenter of the DJ World. You do not ask the DJ spinning at venue's like this for requests. Did you see a cd mixer? A beat counter? No dummy, they are on vinyl, and they have real skills. How corny and out of touch do you have to be to ask Dan Bain to play some 80's or 90's music? Dummy, he likely did but it went over your head. Stay in the suburbs dork. This is what happens when basic corny white people show up in an authentic venue. This is one of the best places to here real music and see real DJ's. If you do not understand techno or house, are closed minded, or think you know what music should be played over World famous professionals, stay away. read more

First time here and I gotta admit I was a little skeptical driving in. The neighborhood had a serious Mad Max vibe to it. That all changed when I walked in though. The bar is splendid great vibe and booze selection. The beer choices are good too. Nothing that blew my mind, enough choices for a dopey beer snob like myself though. We were there for a concert and the sound was great but do yourself a favor and check out the patio. Hammocks, great mood lighting and a giant disco ball skull? Yes please I'll for sure be back read more

We went here (a group of 10) on a Wed and asked the DJ, Dan Bain, several times that we wanted to hear 80's or 90's and he never played anything close to the tenges. In fact, the DJ, Dan Bain, acknowledged me 4x of my requests and he played whatever he wanted. Sans no one dancing on the dance floor. I do not ever Yelp bc I'm low maintenance, but I was highly unsatisfied with this guy that had no clue about customer wants or needs. He could gives 2 F's while he was drinking his beers dj'ing . He sucks big time. Bianca is awesome. Please don't take my reflection of the inadequate DJ of her. P read more

Driving up, I'm like, "Umm are you sure this is the place??" The neighborhood is just a bit sketch, but the security guard watching over the parking areas did make me feel a little more comfortable. I've been a few times now, and it's funny that it seems like Marble Bar is either empty or packed. It's still a good place on quiet nights, but when it's busy it's a really fun crowd. Very diverse depending on the entertainment, and hipster without feeling elitist. Just a warm, unpretentious feel. The main floor is great for dancing, or just people watching from the bar. The mezzanine overlooks the lower level and is a really fun space to sit and relax without getting too far from the action - definitely check it out. Then there's the large fenced-in patio, which is incredible! If it's a good night, you might even find another DJ and bar out there. Drinks are very reasonable, and the bartenders range from tolerable to downright pleasant. No complaints here. Cover jumps up to $10 when you get there later, which I feel is silly given the location and the vibe of the place. But show up a little earlier and you can get in for $3-5 and have a night of fun. read more

Granted I went for a Thrash Metal show, and it's not this places usual thing... Sound was great, floor was awesome and the place is clean. Bar was cheap and the staff including bouncers were excellent. What more could you want? 10/10 read more

Marble Bar - Sick boys - Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Former site of a gay leather bar has been reinvented as a millennial hipster bar. I like to imagine that ghosts of sadists past roam the bathrooms. Surrounding neighborhood has that post-apocalyptic dystopian vibe that reminds me of the Detroit I lived in before Midtown got the neighborhood empowerment zone property tax credit, bike lanes & Whole Foods. Inside feels like an episode of HBO's Girls, and it's a later-season The Walking Dead episode outside. Great venue for Moth Story Slam events. read more

Exciting new music venue!! Lowkey local bar, awesome undiscovered "underground" vibes. Take a walk off the beaten path and stop by the Marble Bar for a night of revelry and music. After being neglected for quite a while, this ramshackle building at the corner of Holden and Trumbull Street has been transformed into a live music venue that draws in crowds of patrons in the know. The venue hosts local and touring musicians, including the likes of Liturgy, Ceremony and Tony Molina. While its demure size and stature mean that few are aware of its existence, it is precisely these qualities that add to its appeal and leave its patrons with the beguiling impression that they are the chosen few who are fortunate to know of this treasured secret. read more

Best Old Fashioned even if they skip the cherry. The music here is always jumping and their indoor/outdoor patio allows comfort year round! Be sure to check out the monthlu Soul Stomp! Fun ×10 read more

Gorgeous and spacious atmosphere with detailed woodwork and marble. Had a pisco sour, sloe gin with brandied cherries & a delicious vanilla nitro porter. The restrooms are clean and tasteful like the rest of the bar. There's a large back patio that often hosts a food truck. Really impressed with Marble Bar & highly recommend. read more

The fact that I can drink Yippee Ki-Yay while listening to great music, dancing under a skull disco ball makes this place worthy of 5 stars.

This is a really groovy place. I've seen a few gigs here and had such an awesome experience every time. The bar is huge and easily accessible, drinks are pretty darn reasonably priced, and the folks at the door are friendly while still making sure people coming in have their act together. Kind of a sketchy neighborhood so I don't recommend going it alone, but the interior is cavernous and cozy at the same time and there are bouncers keeping an eye out pretty much everywhere. read more

this is the only place which reminds me of my own country nightlife. best place so far. in detroit!! music is awsomeeee!!! not that crappy rnb or papsa. amazing deep house or electronic. safe area to go. always crowded. and good is that its not crowded with kids. the only suggestion will be polease bring some dj from europe like maceo plex. or acid pauli. or max cooper. or kiasmos sebastien ledger. dha am. daniel bortz. soul casule prod. solomun. inigo kennedy. etc etc etc.... great artists. and do some boiler room. read more

Went to Marble Bar last night for my girlfriends 30th...heard such great things about it but I will never go again. Paid $30 a person around 1:59 am and then was denied service at the bar because it was 2:01 and they were no longer serving alcohol. I don't understand how this is marketed as an after hours bar when they don't serve after hours...my friends and I paid $120 to walk around for five minutes and leave. It's supposed to be the last underdeveloped area in Detroit; all I saw there were white people rolling on various drugs and smelling of B.O. Would give it zero stars if I could. I tried finding a manager to talk to for a refund and no one took me seriously. read more

Full disclaimer: Here to work a event, however I'm sure I'll be back. Beautiful space, feels open and airy. Great selection and excellent happy hour menu, good amount of seating and dance/standing space. Friendly bar staff, definitely a hipster vibe. read more

This will be a great bar as soon as they get a better selection of booze, improve their actual drink menu, maybe get some good djs to agree to residencies, and of course, STOP CHARGING MY CREDIT/DEBIT CARD TWICE WITH RANDOM AND INCONSISTENT AMOUNTS EVERY SINGLE TIME I VISIT. This is ridiculously shady and inconvenient, seeing as though ZERO other bars in the area do this. I currently have a second charge for $19 from 12/25 that is still pending on 12/30, while the first charge of $45 from the same day has already cleared. Why are the amounts so different and why would these not charges not reconcile at the same time? If the $19 is not returned to my account soon, I will never go back. I won't fight for $19 but I will never give a place that lets erroneous charges go through an opportunity to steal from me again. read more

As a med student at Wayne who goes out at least every other weekend in Detroit- I would give this bar 0 stars if I could. This bar is not woman-friendly. My friend, a 21 year old young woman, was assaulted by one of the bartenders' boyfriends. She laughed as her 200+ pound boyfriend slapped my friends' phone out of her hand, shattering it. My friends and I protested, attempting to call the police as he had caused a minimum of $100 in damage as well as slashing her entire arm open a broken piece of her iPhone's glass. When we protested and dialed the cops to report the assault, our phones were slapped out of our hands. As young women, we hope to be protected by the staff at a bar or club, but were hopelessly let down by the staff at Marble Bar. We were disappointed and hurt by the staff, including the female staff. Terrible club- we will be attending nicer, classier venues in Detroit such as Legends, or Exodus. Thank you Legends and Exodus for your protection and professionalism! read more

Came here for a Sunday show/event. Truly located in the heart of REAL Detroit. Beautiful, huge space with a giant bar. Friendly bartender made us feel welcome. Not only is the inside of this bar glorious, but there is a huge patio area where they had vendors, music, food, and seating. This place is nice because it feels like a secret, a diamond in the rough. I felt like I had died and gone to punk rock heaven. Can't wait to visit again. read more

This is a friendly bar with a diverse crowd. Acoustics are excellent. It is a huge epicenter for the The Electronic Music Festival. I think last year they were open 3 days straight. Wish they had food, but on busy nights they do bring in pop-up chefs who prepare some very good fare at reasonable prices. The upstairs balcony is a perfect spot for work parties or meeting friends, bring your own food and decorations, the owners are chill. Now that the back patio has been expanded, you can choose between outdoor dancing (often with a second bar open out there as well) or inside dark and safe from the elements. Their Motown Soul Stomp and Caribbean Night are huge, fun, and friendly you won't want to miss it. read more
