Downtown Detroit Date Night

A Downtown Detroit Date Night That Doesn’t Feel Like an Interview

There’s dinner.

And then there’s a good date night.

The difference usually isn’t how expensive the entrée is. It’s whether the place gives you something to talk about, somewhere to hang out and enough energy that you don’t spend 90 minutes staring directly at each other across a silent table.



Parlay Detroit solves that problem.

Start With Drinks and Something to Share

A good move is starting with Bang Bang Shrimp or Buffalo Chicken Wontons for the table.

Bang Bang Shrimp brings crispy shrimp, our signature sauce, honey chili oil and fresh green onions together.

The Buffalo Chicken Wontons combine buffalo chicken and cream cheese inside crisp wontons with ranch or blue cheese for dipping.

They’re easy to share.

Unless your date eats the last one.



That’s information worth having early.

Dinner Can Go Casual or Upscale

Want casual?

Split a pizza or order the Parlay Burger, our double smash burger with American cheese, house-made pickles, lettuce and Parlay sauce.

Want something more dinner-date appropriate?

Try the Brown Sugar Miso Salmon, Parlay Steak or Lamb Lollipops.



You don’t have to decide what kind of night you’re having before you walk through the door.

Happy Hour Date?

Here’s an underrated move.

Come early.

Parlay’s weekday happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3–6 PM, with $5 beer, $5 well drinks and discounted food including the Parlay Burger, wings, Buffalo Chicken Wontons and Fish & Chips.

An early happy-hour date can easily turn into dinner.



And dinner can turn into staying out.

Make a Night of Downtown Detroit

Detroit date night doesn’t have to follow the same dinner-reservation-dessert-home formula every time.

Sometimes you want good food, drinks, sports, music and a room that actually has some energy.

That’s Parlay.



So if you’re planning your next date night in downtown Detroit, grab a table, order something you can share and see where the night goes.
