Small's: your favorite neighborhood corner bar and rock venue all in one. Located in the wonderful city of Hamtramck, nested in the heart of Detroit, MI, Small's is the area's premiere independent music venue.

Our front room is home to an art deco-era bar stocked with more than 50 beers including local and national craft labels, European brands and your favorite lawnmower beer in cold 24 oz. cans. Down the hall in our live room, Small's hosts national and local bands and DJs several nights a week. Check out our calendar for details.

-MissFit Toys [Florida]
-Absynthe of Faith [Minneapolis, MN]
-Black Sequins [Fort Myers, FL]
-Access to Concrete [Detroit]
DJ sets by Defiled DJs Remnant and Wraith


MissFit Toys:
"It’s a twisted goblin scream full of terror inducing ferocity.
Yet somewhere in the music is such an accessible synth dance.
The sheer audacity of the clashing sounds and swirling concepts
make this record haunting and hides behind your conscious mind."

-Ken Magerman (Sounds & Shadows)
