New Detroit Luxe LGBTQ+ Venue Arcenciel Opens — See the Photos!
The recent grand opening of Arcenciel (pronounced ahr-ken-seel), an upscale LGBTQ+ venue offering fine dining and entertainment, is generating significant buzz among local influencers and community leaders who attended an exclusive VIP reception during its pre-opening celebrations Nov. 27.
The venue features five distinct spaces, including The Versailles Dining Room, The Rainbow Bar and The Magenta Lounge, The Sports Den and a European-inspired dance floor. The venue's name, French for "rainbow," reflects its commitment to creating a welcoming environment for the LGBTQ+ community while maintaining the sophistication of a luxury establishment.
“Our pre-grand opening events were an incredible success, and we’ve been truly inspired by the positive feedback from our guests,” Arcenciel Detroit General Manager Joey Ewick told Pride Source. “Our menu has been a standout, with guests praising the innovative and flavorful dishes created by our talented culinary team, which perfectly capture the essence of Arcenciel. We’re beyond excited to officially open our doors and invite everyone to experience everything we have to offer, from exceptional food and drinks to the unique and vibrant ambiance of each of our spaces.”
Arcenciel, located at 14925 Livernois in Detroit, is open Thursday through Saturday, 6 p.m.-2 a.m. (dining 6-9 p.m.). For more info, visit arcencieldetroit.com.
