Absolutely amazing. Great food, great drinks, great service and a wonderful show. Stumbled upon this place by accident and we absolutely loved it. It was so amazing. Felt like I was in the 1930s downtown Detroit. If you ever get a chance check out cliffs bell. Get yourself a reservation for a table upfront, grab a bottle of wine and get yourself something delicious from their menu.

Questions & Answers

Is there a cover charge? And how much would a avg evening cost for 2 adults

norm hill | Nov 3, 2018
Finn Gomez | Nov 3, 2018

Depending on who is there, and if they decide to have a cover charge it is usually around $10. If you plan on drinking and eating, it would most likely be over $100. Food is very expensive there, so I would recommend eating beforehand.
