How often has this happened to you? You’re excited to see a great band play some killer music, but you also haven’t had something to eat since lunch. You couldn’t possibly grab dinner and make it to the show on time. What if dinner was at the show? The venues you’ll find below combine Detroit’s love of music with its equal love of good food. So, next time you’re looking to catch a show, why not catch a great meal, too, at one of these five metro Detroit establishments.

Otus Supply

One of Ferndale’s newest restaurants and named a Top 10 New Restaurant by Detroit Free Press, Otus Supply’s sister establishment, The Parliament Room, is where you can find musical performances by local, regional and national talent. Go to Otus Supply to share a few small plates like the kampachi crudo or castellane verdi, sip any one of their many beers, wines and cocktails and then head into the connected Parliament Room to enjoy a rockin’ show from great musicians.

Baker’s Keyboard Lounge

If you love jazz, count yourself lucky the “World’s Oldest Jazz Club” is located right here in Detroit. Not only do they serve up tunes that will have you tapping your foot to the rhythm, but they also have a great menu filled with Southern fare, like chicken wings, BBQ ribs, meatloaf, steak, catfish and more.

Cadieux Cafe

Known for its focus on Belgian culture and food, Cadieux Cafe in Detroit is the place to be for delicious Belgian beer, mussels, Belgian dinners and, of course, music. On weekends, you’ll find musical acts from genres like punk, alt rock, indie rock, acoustic shows and more. If you’re feeling courageous and want to take the stage yourself, karaoke nights are every Wednesday at 9 p.m.

This is how you Traverse Michigan. With cutting edge technology, tons of cargo space, and advanced safety features, Chevy Traverse is your key to unlocking the mitten state.

Coming up on Zeke’s calendar, you’ll be able to thrash your head to the likes of The Highborn, Happy Endings, Reo Speedealer and Against the Grain.
