This place is a must see in Detroit. Very beautiful arts and painted murals. There is also a bar skip and a restaurant standby in this alley. Good place for weeding or engagement photos.
The BELT is a great place for live djing and drinking and street food. A must see if youre visiting Detroit. Must be vaccinated or be wearing a mask.
Detroit is definitely an Artist Mecca. With so much revitalization and fresh new innovative ideas, there’s a ton of newly restored places to explore. If you’re up for a day trip or weekend of fun, forget what you may have formerly been introduced in years past about dark Detroit alley ways and let me introduce you to bright vibrant corridors filled with art works of local talent from all over metro Detroit. Come see what’s new and visit The Belt. You’ll love it!!! I did.
Cool place to experience street art while having a few cocktails and food. Off the beaten path but well worth finding. Nicely curated area that has a good feel about it.
A small rest-bit in Downtown Detroit. I was surprised to find this small alleyway decked out in art. The next time you are nearby take the time to walk through. No charge. This art is free.
Cool street. Came too early for anything to happen on the street but enjoyed the view of the street
Interesting art space in an alley in the old Garment District, behind Vicentes and other businesses. Great use of the space to give artists and their work representation. I would love to see it expanded.
Downtown detroit has many attractions but the good thing is you can cover most of these in 1 to 2 days but views of the Belt at night is the best. They have go carts with bar on wheels, you can get drunk and go around the downtown with your crew.
The BELT is a must due everytime youre downtown Detroit. Weekends usually consist of live music, alley is also always full of new and fun art and bars with outdoor spaces. Always a good temperature due to the wind through the alley. Alley is greatest and busiest from 8-2 on weekend nights 👍
Detroit has some cool art to check out all over the city. This little alley nook is pretty cool to check out.
I love how they are making these old unused alleyways into something beautiful, and in a big city, something like this really shines!
Checking out the sights loving the sites I like how they have it designed!! two thumbs up Detroit!!
Super small, but v cute for insta-worthy pics!
Favorite spot in Detroit. The street art, classic brick, small businesses close by. Good vibes.
The belt has become one of my favorite summer hangouts in Detroit. There are always great events put on by various social events, and it’s 10/10 for photo ops. Be sure to get drinks at the skip, pizza from mootz, and dance the night away at Deluxx Fluxx!
Beautiful art, fun restaurants and drinks! Very cozy.
Such a cool an hipster spot in the city! Lots of cool murals and definitely a photoworthy spot!
The Skip and Deluxx. Down the way from Punch Bowl. Cool spots to grab drink and an appetizer on ones wondering path of the journey through the heart of a city.
I always love the Belt. Its a perfect place to take pictures and an even better one to park. Id rate 10/10 would recommend.
Great place to bar hop, people watch, and get great photos!
I expect that its getting better and better here someday.
Amazing block-long alleyway in downtown Detroit, features murals and artwork by variety of artists in different media and themes. Beautiful colors, look incredible against the old brick exterior of the surrounding buildings. Area is lit-up at night and very clean. Murals seem to change regularly as a new one was being installed while we were walking through.
The atmosphere and sights were amazing.
If you love art, bar hopping, and a Saturday night vibe no matter what day of the week, definitely head this way. Standby was great.
Really enjoyed my first experience with the Belt before and after a Tigers baseball game. With the one exception of 1 factor somewhat beyond its control which was the extremely high humidity on the day I was there. But overall enjoyed my time at the Skip first which had a lovely collection of small batch Bourbons to try and reasonably priced as well. After the game went to Standby for the highlight of the evening where we enjoyed a wide variety of outstanding hand crafted mixology and well executed small plate food options. Parking at Z Spot is an excellent value for $10 after 4 pm.
This alley tells a beautiful story with all the art on the wall go see
The BELT is literally an alley with food, bars, art, and now a dance club. While I personally don’t frequent the establishments, this is a great place to visit in Detroit. Standby’s food is great, though as a warning it is very busy. The Skip is a great local place to go, but also quite busy on the weekends. Detroit Flux is new, and not quite my type of thing to do, but it’s one of the better places to visit in the city. The art places in the BELT are usually private function use only, but you can see quite a bit from walking. Definitely pass by if you are coming in from the suburbs or out of town.
Beauty and the Beast, Sweet and Sour, and a Gorgeous Alley! The Belt is a must see if you can find it. A real alley that has been transformed into the most stylish and artistic thoroughfare in Detroit. There are two bars and some pop-ups and a lot of cool street art. Meet me at The Belt.
Cool place to hangout with beautiful murals and cool local bars and food stand. There is always a fun crowd at the Belt! I take all my out of town visitors.
If you’re in Detroit and looking for a good mural picture, make sure to walk through the BELT at some point. It’s also adjacent to the Z Garage, also known for the murals on the walls of the garage. Both are known by locals as a great photo spot, pro and novice alike
I love visiting here , heart of Detroit !
Lots of bars to visit. Pizza place smelled good but didnt visit.
Art is awesome, street had some vibes, but overall very chill for evening hours.
One of many treasures to be found in ever-growing downtown Detroit. Theres wonderful art, good vibes, and tons of interesting restaurants and other businesses I sadly have yet to explore. Definitely worth a quick stop/detour downtown! I know Ill be visiting again on my next visit to see whats new.
The Belt.. Downtown Detroit.. U have to experience it.. It is the Best for pictures... So many different backdrops to choose from! The have some great restaurants & drinks to enjoy.. Music 🎶... Its a must visit when ur in the D!
Beautiful alley-turned-installation art near downtown from artists all around the world. The name is a nod to the history of that area as it was called the garment district. Come here to take pictures of photogenic art, and explore the many parks or bars nearby.
Such a cool spot for photos and a cool Friday/Saturday night. It’s young and has music going constantly. We got stuck under here in the rain and all the people were so kind!
Super beautiful at night!
The BELT is a must see attraction in Detroit! This place is a happening spot, even in the dead of winter when I visited. The artwork, murals, and structures are really unique and beautiful. For all you selfie-takers and insta junkies, this place is for you!
Very unique idea in the heart of Detroit. Part living art exhibit, part bar hopping heaven. Home to a cocktail bar (Standby), an outside bar (The Skip), a club (Deluxx Fluxx) and an art gallery. Something fun and unique for locals and tourists alike.
This place was an amazing find! great music, people and atmosphere!! So happy we found this!! Detroit is making a comeback!! We will definitely be partying here again!!
Something Ive not quite experienced anywhere else. The belt brings together art, drinks, and food in a single alley between two buildings. Home to the skip, the standby, and deluxx fluxx, the belt is never lacking in places to go and drinks to try. A popular place in the summer as it is mostly an outdoor experience, but all three bars do offer some inside entertainment. A great place to start pregaming before going out to the rest of Detroit. Located in the center of campus martius.
An alleyway...about 215 feet long...that has some dope (dope as in cool) art and murals all around it. A must see for tourists to Michigan and Detroit.
Neat place! Loved the art!!
I liked the BELT, although it conjured vile images of a dominatrix slapping my raw, oiled behind with a leather belt. Worth it. Now I cant stop thinking of the BELT. I love you guys!
Really wanted to view the inside, but google’s info online was incorrect. Thought I could get a chance to take some pretty neat photos of the place inside & out.
What a unique and amazingly creative idea this is. The street art makes it a destination for itself, but with the recent addition of Standby and other soon to be announced establishments, The BELT offers an exciting new experience that feels right at home.
Nice painting and colorful but it smells not great ☻***
Really wanted to try out a few drinks at the Skip but needed to head home and they werent open yet so explored the area which I was amazed by all the creative pieces of art.
We went on a Sunday afternoon, hoping to take some photos....and apparently everyone else had the same thought. Nice area, with some cool art, exposed bricks, and fire escapes.
Cool place to experience street art while having a few cocktails and food but some trash scattered in some spot
Very unique place to visit. Four night clubs all within steps. If youre looking for a cool place to hang out, this is the place to be!
Not really my kind of thing but a nice little walk through art.
Great spot to hit if you are bar hopping in the downtown area. You will find some really good cocktails.
Love this area . So neat and artist . I took photos here and the artwork was a great backdrop . I would love to just come and chill in the alley and enjoy the scenery !!
A great gathering in the heart of the city. Food, drinks and festivities.
Beautiful place for photos with amazing murals, but of drunk people due to the nearby bars but otherwise so cool
A must see when touring the city! Beautiful art, nice bars, good place for a quick bite, a drink & some fun music
It was like a out of town experience there. Hit the skip, get 2 irish coffee s then go to the arcade bar on the end, with the banging Dj. #Yasssss!!!
Not much to do AT ALL during the day. Have to come back at night and see what all the real hype is about. Like seriously, if you have friends in town that youre showing around during the day, skip this until nighttime.
Cool open ally area! End to end open drinks aloud! Live band was playing/protesting in front of the bar...
Awesome tucked away little spot w/ some amazing street art. Very cool and perfect spot to take photos w/ friends or just of itself.
One of my absolute favorite spots in Detroit. The perpetually changing artwork incorporated in and around the alley gives people a unique experience to the city.
Walked it during the day - the place would look great at night w the patio lights on - perfect pregame stop !
Nice place to take great photos. Don’t forget to check out the top level of the Z lot!
Love the art work, nice place to hang out.
Great artwork! Unique atmosphere! Nothing quite like it! I hope the entire city transforms into something like the belt!
A hidden gem. Attended a concert in a basement club here, Deluxx Fluxx. The Belt is hard to find, fun to explore.
Beautiful art work all over the area. Youre forced to stop and take notice...even in the parking structures.
Used this spot for a clients photoshoot 10/10 will use to shoot again
A small graffiti alley with tons of art. There are nightclub and bar entrances. Hot spot for youth to hangout.
Cool alley! Check it out!
Fun place to go with your friends! There are many different bars to visit and lots of places to eat
Really cool little alley to visit in a summer night and check out the lights and paintings..transcends your mood a bit. Check it out!
Absolutely stunning Thruway where you can have quaint outdoor dining amongst great murals and art.
Great cocktails, very eclectic bar! Would return since its a great place for people watching!
GORGEOUS! Love the string lights and art. I always try to make time to walk down here when I’m in the area.
Fun for groups. If you dont know whats what, its best to have someone with you who knows their way around.

Very low key place.. you will love it if you are a big drinker
Its ok, I guess it depends when youre there or if youre going to a venue within the Belt.
Very relaxed reflection of Detroit culture 👌🏾
Beautiful and stylish alley in the heart of Detroit downtown. Definitely worth a look.

It is a bar area. We went in the morning and there was no one, better to take photos, but I wonder what it will be like to have a beer while enjoying these works.Must see.
This alley is very colorful and reflects the rebirth of Detroit. If you are in the center, do not forget to visit it. It has bars and restaurants. Pretty cultural.
An artistic street, colorful and alive! It is definitely worth a look

2022-06-14Went to the Adidas Do Over Event a few weeks back at the Belt and wow - what a great space of art, food stands, little hidden bars and galleries. This spot has so much character and impressive to see how an alleyway can be completely transformed into an experience. The music was excellent as per usual with the Do Over Crew, vibrant and upbeat crowd - also loved hitting up the little drink and food stands throughout.

2022-04-30I always love coming down this little gem of a corridor. The entry ways to the bars are so pretty to look at. The lights hanging above you, the murals, just a fun area
Review №3
2022-04-09This place is definitely worth checking out. I visit here frequently when Im downtown. It is really cool even during the day when most of the bars on the belt are closed because there is so much art and creativity. Dont forget to look up and see everything above you too. The Z-park parking garage is right next door for convenience. Plus if you head to the top of Z-park there are some great views of Detroit.

2021-10-31The BELT is full of interesting artwork and murals. If you go in the evening there are a few restaurants that cater to tables in the BELT, some have windows were you can order right from here.

2021-10-27Cool alleyway thats has multiple food options and photospots for you and your friends. The smells of the food lingered in the alley. Downfalls would be parking although the garage is right there there was a line due to the machines not giving clear directions and it is kind of the only thing right in that area. Hoping to see more developments like this throughout detroit.

2021-06-26I absolutely love the belt!! There are so many cool works of art on the walls and I just love taking photos there. I also love the restaurants and hangouts there off Z lot. Highly recommend checking it out if you never have before. Ive gotten some really cool photos using the belt as a backdrop.

2021-07-04Hidden gem in Detroit. When I visited it was the last snow of the year during pandemic times so it was quiet & empty. Some really cool art work. Must see on places to visit in Detroit.

2021-08-03I attended a party at The BELT hosted by Jerk x Jollof on Saturday, 7.17.2021. The vibes, music & fashion fueled my soul! It was great to run into so many familiar faces. Sadly, I got injured that night so my overall experience was bittersweet.
Review №9
2022-06-07I loved the aesthetic of walking through with all of the strung lights and artwork painted along the walls. Definitely a beautiful and unique place for pictures!

2018-10-15Awesome alley, tucked away from the main streets. The alley features a few bars, but its main attraction is the art on the walls!The alley is edge to edge art. Few installations but mainly painted walls of all sorts of different art styles etc.The neighboring parking garages are also all covered in amazing art and are partially visible from the alley itself, but both warrant a visit themselves.
