Once home to Harry Houdini, the Majestic continues to bring in unusual national performers, as well as top music acts that like the more intimate theater setting and occasional local bands making a Detroit stop on their way to fame. The high-ceilinged theater dating from the '20s brings in music lovers, while one peek at the bas relief details gives a hint of the venue's original use as a...

In Short Built in 1913, Garden Bowl is the oldest bowling alley in the country in its original location. The neon lights start flashing after 9pm nightly for Rock 'n' Bowl--bowling to the DJed sounds of punk rock or rockabilly. The 16-laned alley is in the mighty Majestic Theater complex, which also houses the Magic Stick pool hall, the Majestic Cafe and Majestic Theater where Harry...

In the Cafe, culture-seekers on their way downtown are replaced after dinner by a younger bohemian crowd. Local artists' work shares space with Matisse knockoffs in the airy restaurant.

The Majestic has been one of our favorite places to eat in Detroit for quite a few years now and never disappoints us. I couldn't help thinking that the previous review (one star) must either be very demanding and unreasonable customers or simply experienced a fluke of some kind. We often eat here if going to the film theater at the DIA or to the symphony 2 blocks away or if we're just...

Don?t? let the appearance of the outside awning deter you from entering.
Very hip atmosphere, warehouse atmosphere lightly decorated to feel warm and friendly. Relaxed music at lunch.

The last of our party arrived at 6:05, The restaurant was not full, but it seemed that the floor was understaffed. We did not order our food until 6:40. The waiter was extremely curt---one of our party was handicapped & his wife asked if the...
