Briggs

Eclectic. A fun mix of sports bar and LGBTQ friendly clientele. They have a nice happy hour and some really interesting special events to keep you guessing. Eg. Santa Speedo RUN! Located right across from the Renaissance Center on Jefferson so parking can be an issue, but you can always park for free at the Greektown Casino and walk to Briggs.

I don't know why, but I like this place. A gay sports bar intrigued me, and I generally like nightcubs not bars, but it was "a nice change from potato chips ". Not crazy about the postage stamp sized dance floor trying to be a dance club downstairs, anachronistic. The rooftop hooked me though. Even an off prime hours drink is enjoyable with that view of the people mover and renaissance center. Nights they don't have a dj competing with the sports on the televisions are cool for a drop in beer though. 4 stars, but not five, if they ditched the dance floor I'd give it a five.

Nothing like a good old ice cold beverage. The atmosphere was friendly. I enjoyed myself as usual 😊❤️.
