The game has become incredibly popular, with only a handful of locations to try it out in the city, so be sure to plan your double date ahead of time and call to reserve a lane.

For those looking to both save a little money, as well as enjoy some of the finer aspects of Detroit, there is no better option than the Friday Night Live! series available at the Detroit Institute of Arts each Friday night throughout the year. Free with the cost of admission (which is actually free to all residents of the tri-county area), these special events held on Friday nights celebrate some interesting aspects of the museum and its exhibits. Many of these events involve free performances from local musicians of all sorts, as well as specialized tours of many of the D.I.A.'s top exhibits.

What could be more quintessentially perfect for a double date than a night out at the movies? But what if the movie house where you go to see your movie turns out to be more interesting than the film itself? Odds are, you probably went to the Redford Theatre. This nearly 100-year-old movie theater is one of the last of a dying breed and is still known nationwide as one of the best and most shining examples of a bygone age.
