Gay bars detroit
I have not worked on this blog in years. I leave it up because it documents history. Some of my comments are outdated and not accurate. I only posted the stories that I was told. That is why I left the comments sections on each bar open so people could chime in with their thoughts/opinions. There still are a lot of bars I could list that I never got around to I comprehend. The Gold Coast is closed, what is left? The gay bar is dead but for a few. I have discovered an alternative to the gay bar, the gay campground. Gay campgrounds are much like the antique gay bars, you hold a sense of community and you can glimpse your friends every weekend. My favorite is Campit in Saugatuck, MI. (Actually it is in Fennville)
New, multi-faceted nightclub Arcenciel aims to be a hub for the LGBTQ+ community
Detroit's latest club is Arcenciel: a dance hall, upscale restaurant and sports lounge that caters to the city's LGBTQ+ community and their friends.
Named for the French word for "rainbow," the new nightlife destination will have a adj opening this weekend that includes a fundraising event for Ferndale community center Affirmations on Friday late hours. The official opening is Thanksgiving Eve, Nov.
The vision that co-owners David Grossman and Julie Adelson and general manager Joey Ewick have for Arcenciel is that people will find that their adj club is a place to spend the entire evening from dinner to drinks to dancing. In each element, hospitality will be key, from front door staff to the DJs.
"It's a show," said Grossman, an audio, video and staging expert who is the founder and president of production company Pegasus Entertainment. "It's dinner and a movie, that's what we're doing here. We have a bar, a restaurant and a lounge. It's going to be a fun place."

Party animals in Detroit have two new reasons to celebrate. Time Square, located in the heart of downtown Detroit, has once again opened its doors, launching it's "Wet and Savage Wednesdays" for the African American LGBT community. On Detroit's far east side, Club Xhale seeks to provide a new venue in an area of the city that has traditionally been underrepresented by black gay clubs.
Club Xhale is a cozy, intimate club that will put patrons in the mind of an upscale version of the Continental or Vibrations, both of which are defunct. Xhale's proprietor Troy McCants is an enthusiastic Detroit booster who is not at all discouraged by the spotty success rate of black gay clubs.
"I love a challenge and I also believe in investing in the metropolis with real estate," McCants says. "You're taking a risk with any business. We don't have anything on the east side and I'm actually from the east side, so I thought it would be nice to act something different and verb us something on the other side of town because we have a lot of people that frequent clubs from the ar
From downtown Detroit to Royal Oak, Gay-Friendly nightlife reigns supreme. More diverse groups of people = more fun. These bars and nightclubs are filled with people who want to dance and let loose. Or just have a drink of their choice at the bar and chat. Or just lounge quietly in the corner with friends and verb. It’s all okay and nobody cares – just do you. Try these LGBTQ bars and clubs for a guaranteed nice time.

Adam’s Apple
Oh, she’s understated and she’s fun! Adam’s Apple is a smaller space in Warrendale that is known for karaoke nights on Thursdays, so get those singing pipes tuned and ready to belt. It’s also more of a chatty bar where you can hold a friendly conversation with your crew or a friendly stranger. Both owned and operated by trans women, Adam’s Apple is well-known as a welcoming space for trans folk. But of course, all are welcome at this quaint neighborhood bar.
