Bars:

City Club: Leland Hotel 400 Bagley St Detroit, MI 48226. "An after hours bar, an industrial night club, a place to see the famous rockstars. This amazing 20 year old night club is an experience you will never forget. High-energy industrial cutting edge music, dark, mysterious, scantily clad women, good-looking, sexy men, cigarette smoke and cheap drinks and a atmosphere too real to be imitated. Everyone who is anyone can not deny this night club is a must see while in Detroit. If you are looking for a night to remember you are looking for the Leland City Club! Leland City Club is located in the historic Leland Hotel building. The entrance is in the rear, enter through the parking lot to the left of the building." (Unknown) From I-75, Exit 50. Take Cass Ave South for 0.3 miles. Turn right on to Bagley Street. The Hotel is the building immediately to your right.

Paycheck's Lounge: 2932 Caniff StHamtramck, MI 48212. (313) 874-0909

While not as universally respected or legendary a rock landmark as Lili’s 21 down the street, Paycheck’s is a city staple on the do-it-yourself rock circuit. Many a new wave, punk, metal, alternative (and other myriad forms of rock) band has gotten its first taste of the beer-soaked realities of the rock world on Paycheck’s stage. The realities, in the case of Paycheck’s on an off night, often entail playing for little more than the handful of barflies and third shifters who seem to be waiting for squatter’s rights on the bar stools. But on a Friday or Saturday, rock- hungry elbow-tippers from around the city converge on the bar to check out the latest (if not always the greatest) sounds from the local music scene. But Paycheck’s book-em-if-you-got-em policy has insured that several generations of scenesters have their own “Paycheck’s story” to tell. -- Chris Handyside

The Ritz: 24300 Hoover RdWarren, MI 48089. (586) 756-6140.

When it re-opened in August 2006, the rock/metal gods must've been smiling down on leather-clad headbangers everywhere. The Ritz, a venerable live rock music Shangri-La in Roseville that for years was the home of the live rock/metal scene, has resurfaced in a now-defunct country-western bar in Warren. Closed in 1998, the Ritz resurfaced on Hoover Road, with ample space in its multi-room layout, a huge square bar, pool tables, autographed guitars on the wall and choice drink specials. In keeping with the legend, live music is the big draw here, featuring local and some national bands blasting out it on stage. The action shifts gears on Sunday nights with Wrestling Night, as well as ''Rock Star Karaoke'' on Tuesdays. Drink specials include $1 mini-pitchers and $4 Jager bombs on Tuesdays. A full menu of nicely done bar grub is available. Booths and plenty of table provide plenty of seating. The throwback is back, and ready to rock your world. (Unknown opinion)

I have gotten 3 tats from the Howell location, and have been quite satisfied. My artists are Matt and Stelios. Stelios is very talented and Matt makes you feel very comfortable while making you laugh the whole time which is really important. Stacy has pierced a few of my body parts and every time she is a sweetheart and she definitely knows what she is doing!!
