Gigi's

Can Be Fun

this place has been open forever and has seen better days. It can be fun if the crowd is right

Delightfully Trashy

Well - GiGi's is GiGi's - that sums it up. The bar is older and dated looking, the clientele leans toward trashy and young. They replaced their long-time staple drag queen (who was a riot!) with some crude, non-funny ("she" thinks by saying the f-word repeatedly she is being funny - not so), loud, talentless ugly queen. I cannot stress how terrible the show is... On the other hand, I always have fun when I go. The dance floor is small and crowded between go-go shows, and the music is good, but also leans toward "ghetto-booty" rather than typical club dance music. Go-go boys are all skinny as hell and queeny, but cute.

Your Not missing anything

I stop by Gigi's on Saturday for the first time in years, to meet some friends... Boy has that place changed... everyone that works there seems so miserable now.. The only thing that remained the same was the drag show... I think they are doing the same act since 2001, when it was the last time I was there... Skip It!

No place like gigis

Even if its a lil place, the first time you go, u will be back...* thats for sure!!!! Dj Chico is the Best!!!! i do love going over there. U wont regret it, but listen, its fun when u go with all your gayfriends...* ^_^

Best on Mondays, then on Fridays....

This is a VERY diverse nightclub that prides itself on being diverse as well as a "staple" in the gay community for YEARS. The decor is actually updated frequently, they paint the interior about every couple of years and try to throw a lot of different "themed" parties there. They have go-go dancers and have a lot of friendly bar-tenders, although they can appear to be indifferent, but when they are busy, they are BUSY, they aren't trying to look unhappy. They pour a STRONG drink, especially UPSTAIRS on the LEFT side. Drinks are very reasonable. Cover is 5.00 18+. They do 2 different drag shows and 2 "go-go dancer" sessions. You may dance on the dance floor before, between, and after those performances. Personally, I don't like drag shows or go-go dancers, so sometimes I don't go till around 1 am (haha) so I can just walk in, get a drink, slam it, and then the dance floor is free to dance at. The area is actually borderline "scary" becuase of the "ghetto" apartment complex that is located near the bar. It borderlines the completely Arabic city of Dearborn. (look it up at your own discretion). I would suggest parking inside valet, in the Park-yourself area inside the fence, or somewhere very close to the building or where you see others parking (try to follow a crowd in and out...although I have never had a bad experience here I have heard of a couple) You should probably take someone with you to feel more comfortable because of the diverse crowd it can seem to be a little "click-ish" and if you are stuck-up or rude, don't expect to throw your attitude around becuase being in Detroit, one of these other "queens" or "ghetto" people will be quick to put you in check. Monday is the best (if interested in dancing guys/girls/lesbians/gays/black/white/hispanic/latin/arabic upstairs and downstairs are open) on Fridays, the same type of crowd, but only the upstairs is open. Saturdays, I have never been but heard it is for the audiences that prefers drag shows, so you decide what night to go there :) You can definitely LET LOOSE here and be yourself because no one will really judge you here.
