The Hottest New Restaurants in Detroit, January 2025

"Former Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell makes up part of the ownership behind Parlay Detroit, a sprawling sports bar and restaurant within walking distance to Ford Field, Comerica Park, and Little Caesar’s Arena. Visitors can expect bar classics like chicken tenders, entrees like whole red snapper, and other comfort food items. The 11,000-plus square-foot space offers a cigar lounge with a humidor and VIP areas and features a sports ticker with all the latest scores, as well as recurring Lions viewing parties. In 2025, a speakeasy and lounge are expected to open on the lower level, and sports betting may eventually be allowed at the bar." - Serena Maria Daniels
