Downtown Detroit Happy Hour

Downtown Detroit Happy Hour: Your 3–6 PM Guide to Parlay Detroit

There is a very specific moment during the workweek when downtown Detroit changes gears.


The laptops start closing. Group chats start moving. And suddenly the most important question of the afternoon becomes: Where are we going for happy hour?


At Parlay Detroit, happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 6 PM, bringing together discounted drinks and some of the most popular food on our menu.



Whether you’re finishing a day downtown, meeting friends before dinner, catching a game or just looking for an excuse not to head home yet, here’s what you’ll find.

Happy Hour Food Specials

You don’t have to settle for a bowl of peanuts and a drink special.


Parlay’s happy hour food menu includes:


Buffalo Chicken Wontons — $10
Crispy wontons stuffed with buffalo-spiced chicken and cream cheese, served with ranch or blue cheese.


Crispy Chicken Wings — $10
Six wings with your choice of Blazin’ Asian, Hot Honey or Lemon Pepper.


Hand-Cut Fries — $5


Caesar Salad — $5


Parlay Burger — $12
Our double burger stacked with American cheese, house-made pickles, shredded lettuce and Parlay sauce.


Fish & Chips — $15
Cornmeal-breaded catfish served with Cajun tartar sauce and hand-cut fries.


Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich — $15
Crispy buttermilk-marinated chicken served with fries.

Happy Hour Drinks in Downtown Detroit

The drink side is just as straightforward.


During happy hour, you’ll find $5 bottles and draft beer, $5 well drinks and a $10

featured spirit selection, with cocktail upcharges where applicable.



That makes Parlay an easy stop whether you want one beer after work or you’re turning happy hour into dinner and a night downtown.

Happy Hour That Can Actually Become Dinner

This is one of the things that separates Parlay’s happy hour from the typical discounted-drinks setup.


Come in at 4:30 for drinks and Buffalo Chicken Wontons. Add a Parlay Burger. Suddenly it’s 6 PM and you’ve already handled dinner.



Or start with happy hour and stick around to explore the full menu, including Bang Bang Shrimp, Brown Sugar Miso Salmon, brick-oven pizza, steak and the infamous Glizzy Tower.
