This former movie theater and strip club -- complete with big stage and cabaret seating -- earned a reputation as a stellar blues club after going legit in the early 1990s. Clear Channel expanded the club's horizons a few years ago when it began booking a few of the club's shows. Rock, folk and pop were added to the lineup. Management at the Magic Bag often sticks with the Detroit music community, booking local bands in between national acts. It stays true to its movie roots as well, hosting "Brew and View" on Wednesdays. Expect to see second-run and cult films while enjoying adult beverages.

like fingernails 2 chalkboard.

I can't believe I was just here and the place was packed. WTF?! The sound is like turning the doctors office speakers full blast. I could find better speakers in a dumpster! They have ear piercing no bass "my ears bled" sound in this joint. The wait staff smells like hookers, and you can tell from them bothering you every 3.5 minutes (i timed them) that the f*ckhead boss is a greedy bastard and has to have his alcohol sale fix. There were cobwebs all over the cieling and high tone speakers. Still setup for halloween are we? If you gave me a million dollars to go here, I'd tell you to f*ck yourself. I did not stay once they cracked the sound up past 135 decibels.

This place should be ashamed to charge cover. Small two- person bathroom for ladies and guys. Rude unorganized bar-wait staff. No place to sit when the tables are cleared out. Really, the only good thing there is the band. I have a large network of people and they will all get the same review.

This place is where its at! The best live music acts, the best sound system, the best brew and view movies and the best staff....and its close to home for me. I always have a good time there. Can I buy some stock?

Went back to the Bag to check out another act I heard about called The Mega 80's. I thought it was going to be some cheesy band but they totally killed. It probably helped I was boozing hard. Five starts from me. I even had a girl offer to buy me a drink. How often does that happen!
