Date Night: Cliff Bell's Jazz Club

If you are looking for a romantic date night or a way to impress your guests, take a step back into Detroit's glory days at Cliff Bell's Jazz Club.  Cliff Bell's originally opened in 1935 when Detroit was the place to see and be seen.  Like many of Detroit's treasures, it's doors were shuttered in 1985 during Detroit's decline and period of urban flight.  In 2005, the club reopened.  The owners respected much of the original architectural detail.  The curved wood ceilings, stage, and gorgeous bar provide an elegant and sophisticated ambience.  Combine the beautiful surroundings with live jazz and Cliff Bell's is a night to remember.  Oh...did I mention that the food is excellent as well?   

Cliff Bell's is within walking distance of the theater district, Ford Field, Comerica Park, and numerous restaurants and bars.  We actually capped off our night by walking down to Centaur for a martini.
