Billy's Lounge

Michigan


Billy's is a swell spot to hear local blues and soul bands play while you suck down cheap drinks and Jello shots. Most of the action is on Friday and Saturday, but other nights of the week offer good times too, from Latin dancing (Wednesdays) to '80s dance parties (Sundays).
