Ring In the New Year Detroit-Style
If you’re looking to skip the overpriced club scene and do something more memorable, Detroit has plenty of group-friendly NYE options that go beyond a basic dinner reservation.
Party on the Move
For an unforgettable countdown, rent the Motown Boogie Bus or join a HandleBar Detroit ride before midnight. You can cruise through downtown, stop at your favorite bars, and toast as the clock hits midnight with the skyline as your backdrop.
Downtown Countdown Spots
- Campus Martius hosts live music, lights, and a citywide celebration.
- Tin Roof throws a rooftop NYE bash that always sells out.
- Deluxx Fluxx brings high-energy DJs and lights for a warehouse-style party.
Dinner First, Party Later
Start the evening at Grey Ghost, Prime + Proper, or San Morello for a group dinner. Then head out for fireworks and festivities.
Local Tip
Book group rides by early December. NYE is one of the busiest nights for HandleBar and Boogie Bus bookings, and routes through downtown fill first.
