I went here for a bachelorette party and we had a good time. Â It is definitely a different experience since you can see a drag queen show just anywhere in Detroit. Â It was hard to find since the sign was unlit. Â There is a dance club on the first floor that played good music and the basement is where the show is and the cover was $5. Â They only take case and drinks are around $5-$6, but they are strong!
Review Source:I've been to Gigi's several times, mostly on Saturday nights for their drag show. Gigi's never fails to provide a great time!
We made our reservations for the 11pm show. When we arrived, the parking lot attendant was charging $4 to park or valet in the lot. I think this is somewhat new. I don't remember paying to park before. The show is $5 per person. The angry Ginger taking our money was so shitty. lol He kept rolling his eyes at us and wouldn't make eye contact. I started laughing because it was so ridiculous. I can't imagine hating people or life that much.
The rest of the staff was great. Drinks are cheap & very strong. The show is always great. There were some performers off to the side, taking pictures with people. They were incredibly gracious and patient while everyone had to get a picture with their own camera.
After the show, we headed upstairs to the dance club. I'm pretty sure we danced with everyone. There was quite a mix of people there, which made it fun & very interesting! Everyone that came with me had a great time as well. I think this was the most fun I've had a Gigi's in a long time!

There is an ATM, but it has been out of order during past visits.
Gigi's... An old time favorite of days past. Â
$4 bucks for parking and $5 a person cover! Â Really?!? Â Why don't you just add 50 cents to the price of your drinks and call it a day. Â There have been many of a day that I've stopped in at the Adam's Apple or went over the hayloft to avoid being ripped off in parking and cover fees. Â I'd rather spend my money on the booze! Â It's a real turn off to be out $20 bucks between cover and door fees before getting a drink.
I came for the show. Â The girls are always a pleasure! Â Miss Stevens is a real treat! Â It's such a shame most have fled Michigan for greener pastures.
My first time here being out of  town from Milwaukee, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I'd read on Yelp that Monday's and Friday's were the night to attend, so of course on Friday I saddled up and drove ALL the way out to GiGi's (which is a jaunt from Downtown Detroit, let me tell you).
Walking into this place you're immediately carded and banded (to be expected), then walk down a mildly narrow hallway and before you enter a somewhat "small" main room with a long bar, a few pool tables, elevated seating behind those tables, and then an elevated stage for dancing and drag shows.
Drag show performance that night was short, sweet and to the point. Birthday announcements were my favorite! Strippers were enjoyable and cute, if not a little raunchy. Then with the crowd pumped up, the dancing began, and went heavy until close. Some of the most fun I've had, and a great place to go when on vacation! I'll be back GiGi's!
I downgraded a star because the shot boy was apparently so enamored with me that he ended up spilling his tray of shots all over me. Really? at least apologize! Also, cash only.
Always a good time to be had at Gigi's! Â When I lived in Detroit from 1999 to 2001, Gigi's was the place my roomate and I would go to to unwind, meet friends, make new friends, see a killer drag show, and get hammered. Â Loved seeing Nikki Stevens, DeAngela Shannon, and the many other talented performers that grace the stages at Gigi's. Â Seattle has nothing like this, and I sure wish we did. Â Thanks for the great memories! Â I'll be back on my next visit to my 2nd home.
Review Source:Fun bar to go out to on Mondays, and Wednesdays but now Wednesday nights have changed to Friday nights.
They don't take credit/debit cards anymore. But ATM inside only charges $2.00 which is very cheap... Same amount that you would pay at a bank.
Went on a Sunday night for Karaoke, and even though it was slow... The bartender was nice and everyone in the bar was nice. Some interesting songs that I heard for the first time!
