The ambiance was everything I expected it to be from a blues bar this old. It has none of the modern adornments, but I was really only there for the music. The neighborhood to some may be offputting, this place is definitely not in the touristy area of the city, but is safe. Keep your witts about you, use common sense, don't leave any items in your car in plain site, that might invite a would be thief. This is one of two places that you can listen to blues in Detroit on a regular basis, and the house band doesn't disappoint. The drinks are cold and strong enough to get you where you want to go, don't expect any of the fancy new drinks, unless you feel like coaching the bartenders. Stick to the basics and you won't be disappointed. The fried chicken was good, but to be honest I expected better. The menu is a mix of bar food and should food and even includes chitterlings for the daring. The overall experience didn't disappoint, we had a lot of fun. We will be back!

Oldest blues lounge bar in Michigan! I loved the vibe in here. It was a $10 cover to get in and…read morethey had live blues music. I ordered their famous long island iced tea and it was super strong. We had to wait awhile for the music to start back up again because it seemed like they had just gone on break when we got there. We only stayed for a few songs when they started to play again since we were getting pretty tired. The guys in the band were a lot of fun, and one of the singers was really good at interacting with the small crowd that night. I laughed so much when he called a few men (including my bf) to go up and dance with him.

They were a bit surprised at having 20 people show up all at once. But they handled it super well! They had an unexpectedly terrific bourbon selection too.

Locals friendly, bartender friendly and good prices. There's a juke box and the music style played was a lot of punk, I didn't look but I assume there's a selection of more thank that but the music is pretty loud. I can see this as a cool spot to just chill with friends or even alone as there's many people to talk to. It's an interesting location on a neighborhood street and I thought that was pretty cool.

The souffle was really good! The bar was cheap and everyone who worked there was super nice!

The inside of the bar is a real surprise, given the outside is pretty nondescript. (This is a good thing!).

BasBlue is a magical, gorgeous place! They have renovated a house in Detroit to turn into this…read morewonderful meeting space for all! It is geared towards women and nonbinary individuals and created a safe and supportive environment for them to grow their dreams and aspirations in, but it is open to any and all who want to check it out! Anyone can have access to the main floor of BasBlue, where there is an INCREDIBLE cafe to get delicious drinks and food from. There is also a ton of seating for you to enjoy your food and drink and to cowork from as well. If you want to become a member, the upper floors are open to you with more collaborative and private spaces for you to enjoy! It is a non-profit organization and just a gloriously safe and intentionally-curated space to foster creativity and amazing vibes.

So pay attention to their hours and if you're looking for a great place to work from or are interested in learning more about what a membership here could bring, definitely check BasBlue out!!

This is a very nicely renovated mansion turned into a woman's club. Like a late 1800's gentleman's club, only for women. There is a locker room/workout room/nursing area, but I did not see them because I am not a woman. They have lectures and groups within the club. They have a full kitchen, and the usual food on offer seemed like you would expect at a starbucks or better. They have drinks, coffee, and wine. The wine was higher end. And they use an ordering app so members at different rooms of the club can order easily. Lots of rooms. Dining and lecture rooms, lounge and club type rooms, conference rooms. A large event room. All really nice. There are smaller serving bars on the second and third floors. Depending on age, annual membership is 600 or 1200 dollars. It looked great. Maybe it could have used more restrooms, but that is sort of reaching for something negative to say.
