Willis Show Bar

"Classic cocktails, thrumming live music, and the potential for dancing make this painstakingly restored Art Moderne cabaret a worthy destination for an evening of drinks. Comfy upholstered booths and bar seats all face the stage, directly behind the bar, for maximum visibility." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Willis Show Bar is hosting luxurious New Year’s Eve celebration featuring hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, live soul, funk, and pop music by The At Will Band featuring Al’Exist, surprise guests, as well as DJ M.I.A. providing tracks for the dance floor, plus a champagne toast at midnight. Tickets go from $125 to lock in a bar stool for one to $1,400 for a table for eight." - Serena Maria Daniels

"What’s more to love at Willis Show Bar than drag, burlesque, dinner and a show?" - Mickey Lyons

"Sean Patrick, the owner of Willis Show Bar in Cass Corridor, faces a similar problem. Willis, an Art Moderne reconstruction of a 1940s Detroit jazz venue, features a relatively narrow floor plan with a curved bar that puts customers right in front of the nightly entertainment — usually a mix of live musicians and burlesque dancers who glide through the crowds cheekily interacting with customers. It, too, has been dark since March 14." - Brenna Houck
