The Roostertail is Detroit's premier waterfront
entertainment facility which was established when Joe Schoenith
decided that Detroit needed a restaurant along the river to entertain
friends and host some of the most magnificent parties in the city;
and so in 1958 the Roostertail was born. The Roostertail is located
just 1.5 miles West of Grosse Pointe on the crest of Lake St.
Clair along the banks of the Detroit River. The unique atmosphere
of the Roostertail is devoted to functions ranging from weddings,
proms, seminars, and charity functions.
The name "Roostertail"
refers to the spray created by a fast-moving boat. Since its'
inception in 1958 the Roostertail has become an icon in Detroit's
social scene and has captured the interest of the "who's
who" all around the city and has become "the" place
to see and be seen.
Aside from hosting some of Detroit's most memorable
parties, the Roostertail has also had its share of fame hosting
a number of celebrity performers from the likes of Tony Bennett
and Eric Clapton to the Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin.
These days the Roostertail is devoted to catering
private events, one third of all high school proms in the Metro
Detroit Area are held at the Roostertail as well handling over
70 weddings a year. Whatever the occasion, it's sure to be a hit.
