Willis Show Bar

Willis Show Bar is nestled on the corner of Willis and Third in Detroit's historic Cass Corridor. Reborn as an upscale cabaret and classic cocktail bar, Willis provides a unique glimpse into the original "show bar" era. First opened in 1949, Willis was a hot jazz club until the city closed its doors in 1978. The legendary bar, with its carefully restored original Art Modern-style ceiling and floor plan, captures the attention of every seat in the house. Our unique main stage is behind the rounded center bar and features live music along with burlesque dancers, deejays, and comedians.
