Cliff Bells is an iconic Detroit jazz venue and nightclub, originally opened by entrepreneur John Clifford Bell in 1935. Throughout the mid-20th century, the club served as an anchor for Detroit's nightlife and music scene, operating under a series of business names in the 1960s and 1970s before closing in 1985. In 2005, the club was reopened by Paul and Carolyn Howard and Scott Lowell and has once again become a famed destination for live jazz performances in downtown Detroit, drawing local and national artists and receiving international accolades. Menu options at the club change frequently, but often include steak and seafood dishes, along with an expansive drinks list and brunch offerings served on the weekends.
