Places to eat with larger groups are planted all over the metro Detroit area, so finding a place to host your next group activity shouldn’t be too tough. Supper club and meet up culture is active in 2018, so if you are looking for a place to accommodate a few more of your friends, you’re in the right place. With book clubs, coffee dates and  brunchin’ being popular things to do; where do you go? The weather is finally getting with the program (we think) so with the sun shining you can catch up on all the things you missed during the winter months. Catch up on the nearest restaurant patio and check out this list that will accommodate you and all your friends.

Food and live entertainment is the perfect combo. Grab your friends, and catch up while watching the basketball playoffs. Or how about just meet up with your pals for happy hour on Friday and catch a live set.  An added bonus is that this is a family owned joint and everything is handmade with love. Did I mention they have patio seating?!
