Once thought of as a grim, industrial and frankly dangerous town, Detroit now has an enviable nightlife, anchored by three hugely popular casinos all located in the rebounding downtown area.

Musically, Detroit nightlife runs the whole gamut from easy-listening jazz to hard-core techno. Club Bleu, 1540 Woodward Ave (website: www.bleudetroit.com), offers house and techno from the world's best DJ's, while the Elysium Lounge, 625 Shelby Avenue (website: www.elysium-lounge.com), is a nightclub with five bars, seven rooms, and all styles of music.

For those looking for something a little easier on the ears, the Majestic Theatre, 41420 Woodward Avenue (website: www.majesticdetroit.com), is the hot spot for jazz, blues reggae and rock, and Attic Bar, 11667 North Joseph Campau, is an intimate place playing Detroit blues.

Finally, for a simple good beer in friendly surroundings, head to Greektown. There are a number of bars on Monroe Street, including Marilyn's on Monroe, 419 Monroe Street, and The Music Menu Cafe, 511 Monroe Street.

Alcohol can legally be served in Detroit until 0200 to over-21-year-olds. Dress at most bars and clubs is casual. When a dress code is in effect, it usually has more to do with style and less to do with any explicit smart dress policy.
