Before you go

Good to know

Michigan serves alcohol from age 21, and almost every bar checks photo ID at the door. Visitors from abroad should carry a passport, the ID accepted everywhere.

Michigan bars stop serving alcohol by 2 a.m. Most clubs are liveliest Thursday to Saturday; drag nights and theme parties vary by venue.

Several Detroit and Ferndale community organizations offer free or low-cost HIV and STI testing and PrEP advice. Find them under Health & testing.

Use a taxi or rideshare between venues at night. Saunas and men's clubs admit adults only, often with a membership and photo ID.

Save the plan. Share the moment.
