Am very familiar with the dive and 'character' side of the D for drinks. Looking for a classy place to take a lady after dinner for drinks, maybe dancing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The Vanity or Grande Ballrooms are great. Oh wait, that was 80 years ago.
When I lived in Detroit about 4 years ago I enjoyed Vicente's Cuban restaurant on Library St. the old Goodhousekeeping Shop building. On Friday night they had a live band and dancing.
I know places where you can buy some dances, but they're further out on the 8 Mile border.
I'll second Vicente's, classy with dancing albeit salsa-centric.Quote:

There's room for dancing at the Gaelic League with live music on Fri and Sat [[except this Sat) - drinks may not qualify as classy - but Jameson and Ginger is pretty classy
Fred and Ginger were classy on the dance floor too!Quote:

The second floor of Firebird in Greektown is an entire dance floor - and the place is relatively nice.
Vicente's is definitely a good recommendation - they have free salsa lessons each week too if you get there early [[around 8pm).
I think I went to a performance of Emerson, Lake and Palmer at the Grande in the 70's. I think the opening act was the band Yes. Or maybe it was vice versa. That was only about 50 years ago. Or maybe I actually didn't go, I was on a lot of drugs back then.Quote:

Whiskey Parlor would be a nice place to get more intimate afterwards.
Greektown, or Foxtown, or maybe a taxi between the two?Quote:
