    Showbiz Renaissance man David Liebe Hart of Tim & Eric fame poses with a puppet resembling my friend Corey w a jug of weed kool aid!

    Not my favorite place to see a show but not the worst either. Maybe I'm just getting old but the Sanctuary feels particularly claustrophobic to me when it's full or close to it. Sound quality is decent but nothing too great. I've seen Negative Approach here a time or two. They tend to book mostly punk and hardcore bands. I also got to see oddball puppeteer/singer/scat rapper David Liebe Hart best known for being one of the eccentrics on Adult Swim's live action cartoon Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! That was something else. DLH even posed with a paper bag puppet I made of my friend Corey. Fun times.

    Been here many times for different concerts and it's a HIT every time!…read more From the main floor, to high top seats by the sound booth, to balcony seats, there isn't a bad spot here to experience your favorite band or act. Many show up early and start the line that winds around the building so be ready for that. Rain, shine or snow! Haven't ordered any food here through all the concerts we've been to but have purchased a few cocktails and beers and the prices are reasonable for a venue like this. Cheaper than an arena that's for sure! The lights and sometimes the pyro that is allowed here is top notch. Mixed with the sound that rocks your chest (depending on the band of course), you get your money's worth. All of the ones we've been too have "gone over the specified time". Whatever that means, we're enjoying it. Whether it's the FIlmore's doing or the band's doing by feeding off of the crowd's energy, we'll always stick around longer!

    The Fillmore Detroit was host to an outstanding author event! It was for our former Vice-President…read moreKamala Harris. It was a sold-out affair. We started out with Happy Hour at The Fillmore Detroit Bar for food and a refreshing drink. The bar is the former State Bar. It is a cool place to chill and the service was very quick. I had a Watermelon Lemonade Riffresher, chicken tenders and fries. It was an excellent venue for us to hear from author Kamala Harris to talk about her new book, 107 Days. She was delivering a message on her short road to the presidential campaign and the state of affairs today that have many U. S. Citizens feeling emotionally hijacked....but I digress. This was a great opportunity to experience in such a beautiful venue. It truly reminded me of a more intimate Fox Theatre.

    We were greeted by a hostess who told us there was a $10 cover. She was warm and friendly and…read moredirected is to sit where we wanted. The ambiance was everything I expected it to be from a blues bar this old. It has none of the modern adornments, but I was really only there for the music. The neighborhood to some may be offputting, this place is definitely not in the touristy area of the city, but is safe. Keep your witts about you, use common sense, don't leave any items in your car in plain site, that might invite a would be thief. This is one of two places that you can listen to blues in Detroit on a regular basis, and the house band doesn't disappoint. The drinks are cold and strong enough to get you where you want to go, don't expect any of the fancy new drinks, unless you feel like coaching the bartenders. Stick to the basics and you won't be disappointed. The fried chicken was good, but to be honest I expected better. The menu is a mix of bar food and should food and even includes chitterlings for the daring. The overall experience didn't disappoint, we had a lot of fun. We will be back!

    Oldest blues lounge bar in Michigan! I loved the vibe in here. It was a $10 cover to get in and…read morethey had live blues music. I ordered their famous long island iced tea and it was super strong. We had to wait awhile for the music to start back up again because it seemed like they had just gone on break when we got there. We only stayed for a few songs when they started to play again since we were getting pretty tired. The guys in the band were a lot of fun, and one of the singers was really good at interacting with the small crowd that night. I laughed so much when he called a few men (including my bf) to go up and dance with him.
