The Signature Motor City Experience
Detroit's
Bar Crawl & Party Game
Motor City Bar Crawls is Detroit's hosted 2-hour bar crawl and party game. An energetic host leads your group through three Downtown Detroit bars with music between stops, interactive challenges, group games and friendly competition — built for locals, visitors, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and group outings.
