The Deck was located on the corner of Jefferson Ave and Alter Rd in Detroit. (Now closed) I went there a number of times over the years. It never really attracted a large crowd. I think because it was so far removed from the freeway. It seemed to me to get mostly an older Grosse Pointe gay crowd. I thought it was a cool bar but it just never attracted much of a crowd. It was located in an area of stark contrasts. The area of Jefferson and Alter Rd is very run down, serious ghetto. Yet right across this border of Grosse Pointe Park "thinks change" drastically. It is still one of the most weird things you can see anywhere in the US, total bleak ghetto and two blocks away, you'll see an upscale, well maintained neighborhood. Very strange, but that's Detroit. Here is a link to an article about the Deck:
