A new food, drink and live music lounge connected to District 142 in Downtown Wyandotte. Opening mid-October.

Our story

When Julie Law, owner of District 142, asked bands on social media to send guitar picks for the new project, musicians and fans sent in their personal collections. Hundreds of those picks are now a permanent part of the lounge, set into a custom epoxy bar top.

Mike Adkins of Uncle Kracker donated a guitar featured in music videos and on album covers. Vin Dombroski of Sponge contributed his well-traveled leather tour jacket. A longtime friend donated autographed guitars from Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam, The Who and Led Zeppelin. Friends turned donated drum kits into a chandelier, and others gave stage lighting and their time.

“People just kept contacting us asking, ‘What else do you need?’”

Never miss a beat.

During District 142 concerts, live audio from the stage plays through the lounge. On other nights the room has a sound of its own, with acoustic performers, vinyl DJs and intimate shows.

Entertainment

On show days, you won’t miss a beat. Live audio from the District 142 stage plays through the lounge during concerts.

Ticket holders can enter District 142 directly from the Sound Lounge by showing a valid ticket, then move between the two throughout the night. Guests who aren’t attending the show are welcome too.

The lounge has its own capacity, so entry may be briefly limited during especially popular shows. On non-show days, expect acoustic sets, vinyl DJs and an expanded menu.
