Your Guide to Downtown Detroit: Best Restaurants, Shopping, Events and Things to Do

Decked Out Detroit is your inside track to downtown — where to eat, what to try, and the spots you’ll want to come back to.

Built by Bedrock, Decked Out Detroit pulls together the best of downtown Detroit’s retail and restaurant scene into one easy to explore place. Think of it as your go-to guide whether you’re planning a night out, meeting friends after work, or just wandering and seeing where the city takes you.

This isn’t a directory — it’s a curated mix of what makes Downtown Detroit, distinctly Detroit. You’ll find everything from hometown favorites — like Avalon Café and Bakery and Shinola — and rising local brands — like Bon Bon Bon and Born in Detroit — to national names — like Alo and Tecovas — that chose downtown for a reason. The common thread? Places that bring energy, creativity, and something worth experiencing.

Decked Out Detroit is also about uncovering hidden gems and getting the download on what’s new. Maybe it’s the new brunch spot tucked away like Brush Park Brunch. Maybe it’s a retail shop you didn’t realize was right around the corner like Le Labo. Or maybe it’s an something that turns an ordinary block into something memorable like the events at Nick Gilbert Way.

At its best, Decked Out Detroit makes the city feel more connected—and a lot more fun to explore.
