There will be a dedicated DraftKings Lounge within the venue, available for hosting private parties and events.

Additionally, there will be a outdoor patio specifically designed to accommodate dogs, creating a pleasant environment for dining outside, enjoying live music, and socializing with loved ones.

Live music and entertainment will be available at DraftKings Sports & Social several times a week. Additionally, a diverse range of social games including skeeball, hoops, Beirut, foosball, shufflepuck, and arcade games will be offered.

Nate Forbes, Managing Partner of The Forbes Company, expressed his gratitude as he stated, “We are privileged that Sports & Social DraftKings has decided to open its inaugural U.S. location at Somerset Collection. Visitors from different parts of Michigan, the Midwest, and even Canada come to Somerset Collection to enjoy exclusive brands, and we are excited to provide them with an additional incentive to choose this area as their destination.”

Where will Sports & Social DraftKings be located?

Sports & Social is a spacious facility spanning 10,400 square feet, conveniently situated in the standalone building neighboring Somerset Collection South in Troy.

In July 2021, DraftKings and Sports & Social joined forces to establish an exclusive food, beverage, and entertainment concept, marking the inception of their visionary collaboration.

By joining forces, Live! Hospitality & Entertainment’s expertise in managing vibrant dining and entertainment establishments will be combined with DraftKings’ sports gaming platforms.

Michael Kibort, Senior Director of Retail Sportsbooks at DraftKings, expressed his excitement about the launch of the Sports & Social DraftKings, the first of its kind. He also mentioned the introduction of their innovative mobile sportsbook app in Michigan, along with an exhilarating in-person experience. Kibort acknowledged the valuable support from Live! Hospitality & Entertainment, stating that they have successfully established a top-notch venue for dining, sports, and entertainment, providing fans with an exceptional destination to indulge in.

ICRAVE, an acclaimed and award-winning development firm, is currently designing the venues for Sports & Social DraftKings. Their aim is to create a distinguished and luxurious sports and entertainment experience, catering to a unique market niche.

In the following months, more regions across the country can anticipate the announcement of new Sports & Social DraftKings locations.
