Detroit Fleat is an event-focused venue in Ferndale, MI, known for its patio and its earlier life as a restaurant with international food trucks. At 1820 E 9 Mile Rd in the Hilton Road Corridor, the outdoor setup includes picnic tables under the trees. Past visitors repeatedly recall warm-weather patio drinks and meals, while more recent accounts describe its transition from a restaurant and bar to a space focused solely on events.
That change matters if you remember dropping in for food or a pitcher of margaritas: think event venue rather than the former restaurant routine. Weddings feature in recent reviews, including one celebration of about 100 guests whose host praised the decorating help. Practical features include free lot and street parking, plus wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, seating and restroom. Detroit Fleat also identifies itself as LGBTQ-welcoming and a transgender safe space.
