In a sea of places designed to cater to the mainstream, even in a pre-gentrification Detroit, places that bow down to the almighty sports dollar, that demand of their entertainment a dumbing down, a white wash, a normalization...UFO has always stood out for me as a place where outsider expression was appreciated and encouraged in an environment that was accepting and pushed boundaries that a strictly capitalist venture are not supposed to push. This all happened in a non threatening manner, where if you wanted to dive into "something else," it doesn't matter if you dwell strictly in the underground or not, you can find a wonderful night here. Beautiful relics adorn the walls including an original Magma poster with most vertical surfaces painted silver. A quality sound system delivers live music you won't hear anywhere else. A lovingly curated jukebox keeps the ambience lively and interesting. Always worthy art shows that leaned towards pop. A well stocked bar and delicious food available day or night. Any self respecting urban neighborhood would die to have this sort of touchstone as its centerpiece for years and years. Long live UFO Factory.
Important meeting place for Detroit culture. Great music, art, and food. You can wear a gown or cutoffs and everything in between. Ideas are born here.
UFO is the perfect venue and bar for a low key good time any night of the week, I especially love karaoke Sundays, their endless popcorn and the bar staff-- and their brunch rules and their ultra famous bathroom is irresistible for mandatory selfies. Living down the street has really made this a go-to staple in the neighborhood.

This is my favorite place to get my vegan hot dog fix!!! I love love love that I can get any option made vegan! Good looking out for the veggie people!
Love this place! It has a great patio and is super chill. Every show I've seen there has been awesome and I love when they host the dance off! Great drinks and friendly staff, too!
Corktown Strut was so much fun here! Friendly bartenders, cool art to admire on the walls and one of the best venues around for bands! Love this place and hope to be back in there soon!

Been here for food, great place to eat. The owner Deon is great people too!
UFO is important to Detroit's contemporary music scene and the cultural legacy that these musicians and music lovers are building. It has a long standing history of providing a platform and a space for outsider culture and is a notable part of the creative community. The existence of places like UFO are paramount to the city of Detroit.
Absolutely one of the best places in Detroit. I always look forward to the fantastic food, music and people there.
They have the absolute best grilled cheese in Detroit. I mean, who goes out seeking a grilled cheese for dinner? The people who eat at UFO Factor because they're so damn good.
Host to amazing entertainment that is hard to find in the city these days. Great food, service, and staff.
UFO Factory is my favorite bar in Detroit. It's got a low key vibe, the bartenders are engaging & friendly, and the drinks are great and well-priced. Literally the perfect dive bar! Love that they support local artists as part of the bar is a gallery space and they also have awesome local and touring bands that come through. Plus, they have THE BEST vegan hot dogs around. Not to mention, 1/2 off food night on Wednesdays is what I live for. Yes, it's true! UFO is always a place we take friends from out of town as it's truly a place that reflects Detroit's culture and rich artistic talents. Best venue/bar EVER!

Best place on earth. Always feel welcome and accepted here in a newer changing Detroit.
This place is fantastic! So many vegan options and the food was amazing and the drink was super good as well! It has a cool atmosphere, I could spend so long here just vibing to music and hanging out
I imagine this is where aliens go to feel human. Out of this world bartenders. They are always respectful and amazing.
The food menu is a hidden gem of Detroit. I highly recommend it. They serve craft cocktails that you would not expect by walking in for the first time.
Looking forward to the roof bar to open back up!
Stopped by here in December at 11 pm after a show for drinks when so many other places had already closed. It’s a fun little hipster dive with friendly bartenders. They had amazing cocktails and a good selection. Clearly most other people came here as well looking for drinks and food after everything else closed.
The UFO style and theme was fun. My only gripe was it felt a little bare bones compared to other types of bars. It could use more to lean into that theme and make it even funkier.
I always have a good time at this bar! The food is great, they have vegan options, and the drinks are amazingggg! The bartenders are usually very friendly, and they’ll occasionally have live music at night! It’s a fun place to hang out and chill! 😉
Hot dogs in a myriads for styles. Cold beer, locals. It’s perfect really. Stop by, you won’t be disappointed. Unless you don’t like low key, dark bars with beer and hotdogs.
A friend recently moved to Corktown and this has been our new go to for a few months when visiting. PBR on tap is my favorite dive bar feature and they have that here. The upstairs patio area is one of the best in the city. The hot dog joint operating inside of this bar will blow you away. The shawarma style hot dog is unmatched.
Very nice place, wish the menu was expanded. Lots of vegan dishes.
The service staff was wonderful and the rooftop area is super cool, I just wish they calmed down the use of the fog machine. Couldn't see more than 3 feet in front of you. No idea what the inside of the bar looks like 🤣
