 I discovered this little gem one Saturday night. I went to the movies and the night was still young, so while driving down the street from the movie theater I saw a little bar, and it was decided that it was worth checking out. 

The music was blasting, people shooting pool, the 25 HD  televisions had on all the sport reviews, and people drinking and dancing. The place was packed. The played all types of music genres. The dance floored stayed packed. It had the atmosphere of a party at your best friend's house. The staff was very friendly and partied right along with us at times. I am diffidently going back there, and you should go check it out for your self and check out their website for more information. http://limelightsportsbar.com/

Michigan's Prime of the Ocean

Ocean Prime is the peak of an ingenious practice they opened in 2006 to define the best in gastronomic, liquid refreshment, facility and atmosphere. They wanted to combine a great steakhouse with a great seafood restaurant. They set out to generate a place where the guests are greeted by name and partner with them in adventures of great cuisine, wine and beverage.  In August 2006 they opened Mitchell's Ocean Club in our hometown, Columbus, Ohio. As the restaurant expanded the Modern American supper club concept outside Ohio, They renamed it Ocean Prime, with “Prime” reflecting their guarantee to serving the highest quality steak, seafood, handcrafted cocktails and award-winning wines.

Have fun at their Blu Lounge for Happy Hour, Monday - Friday, from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. Relish in certain expressly priced foretastes, handcrafted mixtures and world class wines. On Sunday evening, enjoy half-priced bottles of wine in their dining room as they have over 300 selected bottles from their compendium.  Bottles priced $99.00 and lower, but their promotions are excluded on major holidays.

The Flower has Blossm

Orchid has a reputation as the club to be among the young and young at heart. And once you enter the door at Orchid you will not have any hesitation about why people congregate there. I have been there only once so far, but my friends have been there many times now, and I must say it's quite an occurrence. This has become Ferndale’s best new spot to party among college crowd and those who just love to party. Orchid is not a new club; it’s been around for a while. And for those of you searching for a party like no other club has offered, the Orchid is where you should be.

Nestled among the stores, showrooms, and bars, The Orchid is located at 141 West 9 Mile Rd. at Woodward in Ferndale, MI. The Orchid is only open on Fridays and Saturdays from 9pm-2am.

The club is not easy to miss. The bright neon lights and the crowd of people outside lets you know you are at the right place. However, the interior will remind visitors of a Vegas party. The music keeps the people moving! The club plays all types of music even 90’s hip hop. The club also has dancer to help keep the party going, and to make sure everyone is having a great time. The decor allows the guest to be taken away by the music and the lights, though flashing lights and music isn’t the only thing bringing folks to The Orchid. The club buzz with excited energy and was comfortably full with seemingly satisfied patrons.

The Orchid offers free entry into the club on Fridays and Saturdays for everyone before 11pm. Yes, everyone 21+ can get into Orchid for free before 11pm. For all the people who like to have a few drinks while they party, Orchid have a special for you. All drinks are only $2 before 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. I couldn’t believe it the first time I heard it. I went to the club and everything I heard about the club was true. At the door everyone who came into the club before 11pm on Saturday received a Friday Free Pass. The Orchid offers booth/table reservations as well, which you can do by either calling or emailing the club. For booth/table reservations email at orchidbooths@gmail.com or call at 248-506-6586 and find them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/orchidferndale

I would love to be self-centered, egotistic, and greedy by keeping The Orchid all to myself and among my closest friends, but this club is too good to stay mysterious for long. There’s no doubt to have a party at The Orchid will quickly become the hottest thing to do on a Friday or Saturday night.
