An alleyway...about 215 feet long...that has some dope (dope as in cool) art and murals all around it. A must see for tourists to Michigan and Detroit.

A small rest-bit in Downtown Detroit. I was surprised to find this small alleyway decked out in art. The next time you are nearby take the time to walk through. No charge. This art is free.

Interesting art space in an alley in the old Garment District, behind Vicentes and other businesses. Great use of the space to give artists and their work representation. I would love to see it expanded.

Awesome alley, tucked away from the main streets. The alley features a few bars, but its main attraction is the art on the walls!The alley is edge to edge art. Few installations but mainly painted walls of all sorts of different art styles etc.The neighboring parking garages are also all covered in amazing art and are partially visible from the alley itself, but both warrant a visit themselves.

I love how they are making these old unused alleyways into something beautiful, and in a big city, something like this really shines!

This place is a must see in Detroit. Very beautiful arts and painted murals. There is also a bar skip and a restaurant standby in this alley. Good place for weeding or engagement photos.

Detroit is definitely an Artist Mecca. With so much revitalization and fresh new innovative ideas, there’s a ton of newly restored places to explore. If you’re up for a day trip or weekend of fun, forget what you may have formerly been introduced in years past about dark Detroit alley ways and let me introduce you to bright vibrant corridors filled with art works of local talent from all over metro Detroit. Come see what’s new and visit The Belt. You’ll love it!!! I did.

Downtown detroit has many attractions but the good thing is you can cover most of these in 1 to 2 days but views of the Belt at night is the best. They have go carts with bar on wheels, you can get drunk and go around the downtown with your crew.

The BELT is a must due everytime youre downtown Detroit. Weekends usually consist of live music, alley is also always full of new and fun art and bars with outdoor spaces. Always a good temperature due to the wind through the alley. Alley is greatest and busiest from 8-2 on weekend nights

Amazing block-long alleyway in downtown Detroit, features murals and artwork by variety of artists in different media and themes. Beautiful colors, look incredible against the old brick exterior of the surrounding buildings. Area is lit-up at night and very clean. Murals seem to change regularly as a new one was being installed while we were walking through.

I liked the BELT, although it conjured vile images of a dominatrix slapping my raw, oiled behind with a leather belt. Worth it. Now I cant stop thinking of the BELT. I love you guys!

We went on a Sunday afternoon, hoping to take some photos....and apparently everyone else had the same thought. Nice area, with some cool art, exposed bricks, and fire escapes.

Really enjoyed my first experience with the Belt before and after a Tigers baseball game. With the one exception of 1 factor somewhat beyond its control which was the extremely high humidity on the day I was there. But overall enjoyed my time at the Skip first which had a lovely collection of small batch Bourbons to try and reasonably priced as well. After the game went to Standby for the highlight of the evening where we enjoyed a wide variety of outstanding hand crafted mixology and well executed small plate food options. Parking at Z Spot is an excellent value for $10 after 4 pm.

The BELT is literally an alley with food, bars, art, and now a dance club. While I personally don’t frequent the establishments, this is a great place to visit in Detroit. Standby’s food is great, though as a warning it is very busy. The Skip is a great local place to go, but also quite busy on the weekends. Detroit Flux is new, and not quite my type of thing to do, but it’s one of the better places to visit in the city. The art places in the BELT are usually private function use only, but you can see quite a bit from walking. Definitely pass by if you are coming in from the suburbs or out of town.

If you’re in Detroit and looking for a good mural picture, make sure to walk through the BELT at some point. It’s also adjacent to the Z Garage, also known for the murals on the walls of the garage. Both are known by locals as a great photo spot, pro and novice alike

Beauty and the Beast, Sweet and Sour, and a Gorgeous Alley! The Belt is a must see if you can find it. A real alley that has been transformed into the most stylish and artistic thoroughfare in Detroit. There are two bars and some pop-ups and a lot of cool street art. Meet me at The Belt.

Very unique idea in the heart of Detroit. Part living art exhibit, part bar hopping heaven. Home to a cocktail bar (Standby), an outside bar (The Skip), a club (Deluxx Fluxx) and an art gallery. Something fun and unique for locals and tourists alike.

Not much to do AT ALL during the day. Have to come back at night and see what all the real hype is about. Like seriously, if you have friends in town that youre showing around during the day, skip this until nighttime.

Beautiful alley-turned-installation art near downtown from artists all around the world. The name is a nod to the history of that area as it was called the garment district. Come here to take pictures of photogenic art, and explore the many parks or bars nearby.
