Another amazing evening here. Read the stories and look at the history of this place and the man responsible. The bar staff mix like it’s art and serve with a smile and great story. The music and artists are like no other. To sit, relax, enjoy a drink and watch their artistry live right in front of you is simply the best. If in Detroit, find time to visit Cliff Bell’s.

I had the most awesome birthday here last night! The food was great but the best part was the live entertainment. We also had a great hostess. I believe her name was Gloria who works at the front hostess desk as you enter. Servers were pretty prompt and courteous. Everyone had great attitudes, were full of laughter and the ambiance was superb. They have seating at the bar and tables to sit between 2 and about 6 people. There was no specific dress code as I seen people with t-shirts and jeans to business casual and dressy. It was definitely a fancy night for me! I highly recommend this place. Make sure you know what time the entertainment starts before you reserve your seats. There is a $10 cover charge automatically added to your bill for entertainment which is worth the experience.

I have been wanting to visit Cliff bells for years. I was finally able to take my family there for a birthday dinner and a show. The service was excellent, the food was outstanding and so was the jazz. I highly recommend this place when you are in downtown detroit. Definitely get reservations in advance. At 7:30 on a Sunday night this place was packed. Menu items are a little pricey so your tab can add up quickly. But everything was worth the price paid. The folks here couldnt have been any nicer and the music was among the best Ive heard in the D.

Old speak easy made into a new age bar with old world feel. Try the Majin buu or Belles Blossom. Food is spectacular.

The ambience is like no other...the food and drinks are reasonably priced and delicious, the service is first class, and the entertainment is A1! Ive seen various jazz groups perform and they ALL deliver a spectacular performance! As a Detroit native I suggest that everyone experience the legendary Cliff Bells for an unforgettable night of enjoyment and fun!

Its absolutely gorgeous and the staff is very attentive. The menu is pricey and your drinks are automatically upsold. The entertainment stage has a great view from entire floor. Brought back great memories from my aunt being a chef when this was LaCav French Creole or JBs on the Park!

Nice service, amazing music. We got a great table front and center and enjoyed a couple of appetizers and an entree. The oysters were a little small so not sure we would get those again and I was a little disappointed that a $50 fish had 6 pin bones in it, but the risotto was really good. The lobster Mac takes work, but our server made sure to tell us that so we were prepared. Looking forward to bringing people back with us in the future.

I brought my parents and girlfriend here for dinner and to watch Gayelynn McKinney and McKinney Zone. It was a magical night! They greatly enjoyed both the entertainment and the food. Additionally, the venue has a really nice Art Deco wood interior. The owner volunteered himself to take a picture for our family.My girlfriend whos a professional violinist said that while Gayelynn McKinney was superb, they should not have charged a cover charge for each person since she felt other musicians were not as professional. I could not hear the difference. Total evening for 4 people was about $191 + tips.What to get:1. Angus burger with Fries - great!2. Kale Salad - great!3. Chicken Pot Pie - great!4. Loch Durat Salmon - great!5. Roast Chicken, baby carrot & Mashed Potatoes - skip

Was planning a date night for my Michigan-born boyfriend and looking for something that he hadn’t been to before. So glad I found this place - an awesome experience with great food, music, and service! I felt like I was transported back to the 50s. We got to sit right up front and had the baked ratatouille, lobster Mac, and truffle fries, all of which were delicious - and a mocktail version of the Majin Buu drink. Our server was so attentive and accommodating throughout our dinner, which I so appreciated (I asked if the food could be brought out at a later time because we were fasting for Ramadan and she truly went above and beyond). Thank you for an awesome night!!
