How is the nightlife in Southfield?
Southfield has surprisingly few bars for a city of over 75,000 people with skyscrapers on its horizon, and there is no one good area for going out, as they are mostly scattered across town. Options in Southfield itself include Yesterday's Paradise, Copper Canyon Brewery, 7 Bar and Grill, Mr. Joe's, and The Pub Sports Bar and Grill. However, there are many more watering holes located in neighboring towns, such as Royal Oak and Ferndale. Of course, being a suburb of Detroit, residents of Southfield can always make the 17-mile trip south down 10, which takes about 20 minutes, for a bustling nightlife scene.
