Best Rock Concerts Detroit Near Me

Cathy L: Visited this venue to see Harry Mack - woot, woot!The venue is beautiful, and ranks high in the design and architecture of venues I have visited. The bathrooms are clean. The staff is friendly. It is easy to get to and parking can be found easily. There are many food options in close proximity, so it is easy to park and walk for an evening out.

Charlene Hardon: The Fillmore Detroit is such a beautiful venue with great vibes. Ella Mai was AMAZING! I'm so happy I was able to experience her live in concert after all of these years

Sarah Springer: Music sounded good, bar staff were super nice.Paid for general admission tickets, it costs $20 if you want to sit down in a seat.Was not told vapes were not allowed and was yelled at by staff for using one when no one was aware.$5 for a water, $10 for mixed drink, $10 for a shot.

Camiyah Blackmon: The staff there are A1! Helped us change our seats to really good ones and were very kind.

Sarah Webster: Thank you Ryan.

Supa Emcee: Best place on the Planet!!!

Alexis Bayne: Not safe. It was packed and I felt like I was going to pass out and there is nowhere to sit down. It costs $80 to sit at a table. Unreal

Martin Gonyeau: The lines for drinks can be the most frustrating at other venues, but I had the best experience at the Lil Wayne concert!! I lucked out and ended up in a line that was super quick all night! I believe her name was Morgan. Great staff, and I love coming to shows here!

Michael Jennings: Old venue, but a classic. Sound is always on point, and has great ease of access. There is also a lot of parking very close by, and within walking distance of several restaurants

Squirrel 2020: This was my first time in Detroit and the Fillmore was AWESOME!!Really cool and interesting structure, they had a bar up from the main stage, and an outside smoking area for intermission and whatnot.Also the bathrooms were big, and quite clean.There was nothing bad about it for me.

Sean Eman: Great place to see a concert

Leif Gullikson: Very nice upscale venue!

Melanie Pinion: Great sound, great staff.

Zach Schoeneman: It's a nice place in terms of looks and access, but it was extremely humid despite no rain the day prior when I attended and it seriously aggravated my allergies. I enjoyed the concert I attended, but it was extremely hard to get full enjoyment when the environment was bothering me so much. Balcony seat rows are too close together, I essentially had to sit spread eagle the entire time because there's not enough room to put my legs between my seat and the seat in front of me. Parking and everything was good, just the humidty/mustiness and the lack of space between rows was frustrating.

Ryan Miller: Awesome venue! Super nice and the acoustics sounded great!

Carbon Molecules: The venue is nice. The staff was great. The show was great. However, Charging people $5 for a water is absolutely ridiculous. Not only that I wasn’t allowed to buy a cup of water, it had to be “Liquid Death” in a can. Which on its own is a over charged can of water. I would be fine with with the option of that and a cup of water. You have tons of options for alcohol and pop. I don’t drink. I want some water to stay hydrated so I don’t pass out in your venue, and I don’t want to pay $5 per water to prevent that. I tried to bring a single Un-opened water inside with me when I got there, and was told to throw it out at the gate. It’s also super inconvenient to be a cashless venue. Came in with $20 and never spent it because I wasn’t allowed to. Thanks for the show, I’ll be skipping this venue in the future.

Donny Aird: Rachel is an amazing bartender. She keeps the line moving and is always hustling.

Joe Trompen: Beautiful venue, I've been here a few times and always enjoyed it

Lonna Riley: Very beautiful old venue in a great location.

Sofía Syntaxx: Absolutely fantastic customer service! I really cannot say enough good things about the crew, specifically in regards to accessibility accommodations. Big thanks to Mark, David, and the rest of the team! We enjoyed a really special night.10 out of 10 would recommend this venue for a concert or show: friendly bartenders, efficient merch set-up, bathrooms are very clean, and the overall vibe is immaculate.They do not accept cash at the bar, plan accordingly.

Max Lennon: Decent venue. They charge for a cup of water or will give you a cup of ice and tell you to fill it up in the disgusting bathroom.Not sure that’s legal.

Kabana XO: I’m pretty sure not serving free tap water is illegal and unethical.

Matt Wendt: Had a Pabst, ate Sargent Pepperoni medium pizza. Bowled a 68. Life is good

Toni Johnson: The place was to small or over booked 6 people to a lane is crazy and using the same ball return for both lanes also with 6 people loved the music and the tv's needs more room but I had a great time.

Ashlee Goovaerts: Fun atmosphere!

Robert Waters: It's awesome!

Morgan: Cool music venue! Good selection of drinks

Mike Gurney: Lit per usual

Rico Lawns: Magic Stick over everything !!!!!!

Felice Baker: It was ok. I didn't like there was 6 of us and we had to bowl out of 1 lane. The game took 1hr and that's all we could play.

Monique: Went on a school trip , had alot of fun the service was great and the food was great as well overall a really pretty set up

Jen German: Super fun.

Jamison Mosshart: A dang staple, went to my first concert here in 2002. Good sound, excellent patio and reasonable drink prices for a venue. The bar staff always treats me with gritty kindness and is on top of getting drinks out. Love this spot.

Nicolas Vimard: Went to see Tinlicker last Saturday, great venue for private concert. The line up of DJ was great as well!

Tom Distler: Drink your water, avoid alcohol, smile, be kind, good vibes

Stacy sunshine: Always the best time

Janette Flores: Magic stick is located above garden bowl a very nice venue with a deck available for smoking attached. Has a pool table next to the womens bathroom and a coat check. Very nice place for small events/concerts.

Fetti Bby: Food ok, lanes a little dry, decent service, over booked. Good Location but kind of small

derek john: “Winning!” As Chuck Sheen would say (If he were still with us) about this lovely multi venue experience. Get a slice from Detroit’s famous Sgt. Pepperoni's, grab a Rolling Rock to pair, go roll some rocks at the Garden Bowl then head upstairs to shoot a lil pool and catch a real rock show. Your boyfriend will brag about it to they friends for weeks just like the time you splurged for fast pass tix at Cedar Point. WINNER WINNER SHEEN DINNER

Emi Pixel: The magic stick is such an awesome venue!! I love how it's connected to sgt pepperonis, and how you can get pizza and bring it with you into the concert part of the venue!! This place rocks!

bellmore1987: One of my favourite venues in Detroit for concerts, great sound, great size for a more personal experience!

Jason R: Very good concert venue. I would recommend the upper balcony upgrade, the view and bar up there are great!

Angela Dodge: My favorite concert venue by a long shot!!!! ❤️

Amanda Leon: Love the venue, the staff are all super nice! Will definitely be here for shows often!

Sarahny Chhom: Last night I enjoyed the performance I saw here, but the security was a letdown. After using the washroom in the lower level, I was instructed to leave the building on the opposite side. Being from outside of Detroit, I wasn’t familiar with the area so I was absolutely lost. I just wanted to go to the main entrance and find my boyfriend and his friend, I had to follow people around. When I arrived there the security gave me an attitude as I approached the front of the establishment and told me that I was not permitted to stand on the pavement. I had no clue they were trying to move things around as the staff didn’t say excuse me or let me know what they were doing until the moment I was standing for a short period of time. They were rude and wouldn't let me talk. I was only trying to wave at my boyfriend since I saw him from a distance in the hall.

Hailey Chevalier: This place was absolutely amazing!! Can’t wait to go back for another show!

Ben Bridges: Love this spot have go back I missed yelawolf show but got see many legends devin the dude young dro and tyga some of them FYI u can't smoke fattys in front stage hahahah nice one cussin

Johannes Blackhead: Great venue

Sophia Stahl: We just saw Theo katzman, I hadn't been to st Andrews since the remodel but it looks great! They built a new bar at the shelter and everyone is super on their game. Great staff, great vibes. Glad to see the building is back in good condition :)

Ema: Went to the set it off : dopamine tour and it was amazing, my first Concert and the venue was amazing also there was a lot a room for dancing and standing.

Janette Flores: Pretty big venue. Came here for gimme gimme disco and it was extremely cold at first. Once the show started it was all good. There are some parking areas near by that Def won't take more than 2 min to walk. They have alot of security and are very strict about minors drinking. If caught you will be immediately asked to leave. Bar only takes card but they do provide straws 😆

Jessie Schwerin: I went to Saint Andrew's Hall for a Set it Off concert. The space was tight, but still an amazing experience. Beautiful building and loved the lights and tech.

Mali: Daughter enjoyed her concert.

JoLee G.: Incredible venue! All staff were amazing! My friend was immediately spotted for ADA and we had an amazing and safe time. It was very appreciated because the crowd was wild! The security looked to handle it with extreme grace and expertise. Everything about the venue was stellar. A magical time!

Joel Watson: I like this venue a lot...lots of parking nearby, reasonable prices on drinks, excellent stage lighting, and pretty good acoustics

Mr E: Great venue! Peezy is the boy too!!

Ayeekellss: Ive been here a couple times now! My most recent trip however was the Pouya concert! My overall experience has been great with my couple concerts here, the security in my section was absolutely amazing. I never been to a concert where they hand out water majority of the concert. That was honestly really helpful and amazing. The parking was also great! My group parked right outside and used our phones to pay, super convenient and close!

Reginald Elliott: Amazing

Angela Hunter: Just saw Pouya, Fat Nick, and Kxllswxtch the other night and this was the first time I've been to this venue. It's an awesome looking building. The security and staff were all very friendly and helpful. Loved that there was a downstairs with a bar and some space to get away from the crowd if you wanted to, yet they broadcast the concert to the screen down there so you could still watch it which was awesome! I really enjoyed my time there and I hope to see another concert here soon!

Joshua Hoffman: Great place to see the action. Was near the front door Plini concert. Easy parking at bricktown lot of blue cross. Great food options nearby, went with pizza cat and the sounds, vibes and atmosphere were exactly what I wanted. Took my son and we had a great night together

Chloe Weaver: Great acoustics and great music

Joel Watson: I like this venue alot...small, but the place is cool, the drinks are reasonable, and the sound is fair, given the size

Gabe Jackson: Sound was good for Roc Marciano, who is the pinnacle of live hip hop. Sounded better live, which is crazy to say

Erica Kalmerton: Great little club. Hard to see as the area where they set up the band can't fit all the people in it. But they do have tvs around broadcasting the performance which helps. Nice outdoor area. Typical club prices for drinks

Ej Dowling: Great venue. Nice vibe. Lack of parking is not terrible due to street parking. Drinks a bit pricey but the orange green tea was delicious. Sold out show meant we couldn't even get into the room. But at least we could semi see from the bar. Outdoor area is nice.

Randy Gray: Great place to see a show. Small and intimate. Sounds great. Everything about this place is cool

1-4 Nitzo: Dope Spot

julie Hines: What a great space!!

John Trummer: This place is dope. My SO's fav band (Weval) had this place on its new album tour...Great vibe, perfectly designed for small concerts.Friendly and fast staff. Keep doing what you're dojng!

Elise Bancroft: Ive been here 2 times. Cool venu! Always way oversold and packed. Makes it hard to enjoy yourself when you can't move your arms 😂 Taco truck across the street is delicious and the bakery next door is amazing! Worth stopping before any show

Joshua Summerlin: Awesome place, will definitely return!

Clara Couvillon: Saw War & Treaty here with William Prince opening the show and it was awesome. Small space but the intimate show was beautiful. War & Treaty brought down the house. Would definitely come back to see a show.

kelly mcdermott: This is a great venue to see a show. I love the character, the bar, and the ceiling is amazing. Totally love that they have an outdoor area too. We saw War & Treaty ... the whole vibe was perfect the whole night. Very mixed crowd of people too.

Leslie Aretakis: Love the venue! I like a more intimate style while listening to indie artists. 10 outta 10, would recommend!

Jonah Roznowski: Over sold shows, unsafe with how oversold their shows are. Avoid going here

Mikal West: Cool smaller music venue.Drink prices pretty average, selection was good. For a sold out show, drink lines were reasonable if you picked your moments. Minimal wait for mens room, looked like a decent line for the ladies room for much of the night.Large outdoor area for smoking or getting some fresh air.Sound is great if you are in the main room, but it was uncomfortably packed for a sold out show. Even if you get a decent spot, it's a huge hassle getting in and out through the crowd to piss or get a drink. From the bar area you can hear the music, yet with poor sound quality and see a grainy imagine of the artist on flat screens. For a show that isn't over sold the place is great.

Art Brownell: Went to War & Treaty concert. Excellent show! They are getting the attention they deserve. Too bad El Club isn't a little larger on the music side for shows like this.

Kurtis Moore: Oversold showsDangerously packed venueSold out shows and they still sell tickets at the doorMoney hungry at the risk of safety

David Birch: Good venue, don't forget hearing protection as it gets LOUD

Abigail Bolen: Really a smaller venue but the vibes were immaculate and we had a lovely time.

Mark Miller: The venue itself is fine, never had a problem with staff and the bathrooms are relatively clean. The drinks are overpriced but that's consistent with most venues. My main issue is that the sound mixing ranges from poor to downright awful, I've seen many shows here and the mix has been muddy and devoid of detail every single time. If you're a stickler for sound, skip this joint.

Ken Cook: The mountain goats and adeem the artist were amazing here however the venue had issue with adeem selling merch and would not let him do so very disappointed in that.

Amanda Jayne: The space is beautiful but the acoustics are garbage.

Ryan Martin: Easy access to parking.

Sawyer Veihl: Theater was super clean and security was present overall felt very nice. I'm not sure how the drinks/bar is handled through the entertainment or just handled by the theater, but 46 bucks was a bit pricey for 2 drinks, just a heads up.

Adriana Olivares: Awesome venue for a concert small and intimate.

Shanna Kemp: Had great time at snow tha product concert💕

Davi L.: Too much security, otherwise great

Mike White: My first ever time at this venue and it was a great experience. The security was fast and efficient on the way in. The bartenders were awesome and quick. Smaller venue but makes it way more intimate and actually get to enjoy the show.

Karly Smith: Genuinely, the venue is super cool, the bartenders are so incredible and sweet. But your security people are the rudest, nastiest people I’ve ever dealt with. There was one gentleman working security tonight that you should be incredibly grateful to have. He’s way too good to be there. The rest were vile humans. Incredibly disappointing to see.

Carl Oxley III: After two decades in Detroit I went to my first show here this past weekend despite hearing not great things. The acoustics were pretty bad and the venue allows in more people than can comfortably stand inside. Most crowded venue I’ve been to. The drinks were severely marked up, a PBR that’s 1.99 at a gas station is $11 and it gets worse from there. The icing on the cake was I’d been waiting a while to see this band and they didn’t even set up merch because even though it was a sold out show the venue demands 20% of merch sales and they couldn’t justify taking the hit. I’ll not be back.

Micah Galizia: Saw Mountain Goats. Great Venue.

Jessica Harlan: Been coming here for shows since I was in college, it's the perfect sized venue, not too big to feel impersonal, not too small.

Shanon Morley: This venue is garbage. I felt like I was going to get mugged the entire time I was in line. Stood in line for 4 hours(was 8 in line). then went through security check and was told to go back outside cause the box office was on the exterior. Waited another hour for the box office to open. Went through security again. Stood in line to get merchandise and decided to run it to my car. Walked past 3 security guards saw no signs warning against leaving. Then I was told there was no reentry. In total I spent $200 and waited for hours in the sun in a dangerous end of town and didn't even get to see the mountain goats. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY IN DETROIT GO TO GRAND RAPIDS.

Evan Magyari: Looking forward to coming back soon!

Warlord Wig Wass: apparently no re-entry. spent $100 on tickets drove 3 hours. waited three hours in line in 80 degree sun. bought $100 in merch walked merch to car. got told I wasnt allowed back in. I have never heard of a no-rentry policy why would you stamp my hand. this policy was posted NOWHERE none of the security said anything as I walked out. will boycott highly recomend you do not come here. This is a horrible buisness stratagy and I bought the tickets for my brother for a christmas present. All he got was disapointment and sunburn. thanks.

Lauren Brooks: Not a great venue for sound or crowd experience. Sound quality is lacking and I’ve been at concerts with a lot more people there and those venues never make me feel nauseous / claustrophobic. Maybe they sell over maximum capacity a lot. My friends and I have left in the middle of shows more than once.Also the bathrooms are in the worst places.Magic Stick upstairs is 5 ⭐️ though.

Colin C: The place is pretty rundown.

Gary Strouse: I loved it! This place is so much better then a lot of other venues

Andrew Suurmeyer: Chairs are simple folding chairs. Other than that, good bar and secure building with good entertainment.
