A new sports bar called Parlay is opening in downtown Detroit — just in time for Friday’s big Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match.
Located in the former Detroit Beer Exchange space at 1260 Washington Blvd., Parlay is situated not far from the city’s sports stadiums and is decked out in sports tickers and large TV screens.
The new bar is co-owned by former Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell.
“Parlay Detroit will be the go-to location for all sports fans in Detroit,” Bell said in a statement. “Our team worked really hard on every detail of Parlay to ensure a next level experience for our guests, from the energy in the room to our top-level menu and unique craft cocktails. We are excited to show our customers what we can provide them and know they will want to keep coming back.”
The 11,000-square-foot space sports an upscale vibe with a restaurant and cigar lounge.
The menu includes elevated American bar fare and craft cocktails, overseen by Chefs Nikki Steward and Russell Oliver.
A lower-level speakeasy-themed lounge dubbed Hidden is also in the works, with an aim of opening in early 2025.
Parlay is set to open its doors at 11 a.m. on Friday. The Tyson-Paul fight is set to start at 8 p.m.
