Detroit’s Best New Bars, Winter 2025 | Eater Detroit

"Billing itself as an “elite sports bar experience” in downtown Detroit, Parlay has the pedigree to back it up. It’s a venture from former Detroit Lion Joique Bell and a few other partners who fill up the massive space formerly occupied by the Detroit Beer Exchange on Washington Boulevard. Inside, a black-and-white checker floor and bright lighting differ from the traditional dim sports bar look. High-end cocktails and food such as chargrilled oysters or a 32-ounce tomahawk steak for the low price of $175 are offered daily to live up to the “elite” promise." - Mickey Lyons
