Menjo's — Restaurant in Detroit

I just went here last night. It was a very chill, cozy, comferable place with chill people enjoying some karaoke. The dance floor was empty but it was a Monday night so I expected that. Im not complaining as I tryed to pick a more chill n less crazy night to go out so it was perfectly chill crowd of people. I didn't have any drinks (I wanted to be safe out alone n driving) but the bartenders along with other staff seemed really nice n enjoying the night as well.

This was my 1st time ever at a bar n/or club. It was my also my 1st time throwing my self out there publicly (as in going to a gay event/place since coming out). I was also alone so ya I was feeling very unsure about going out n stoped my self for doing so for a long time. BUT once I walked in, went to a table n just enjoyed the chill vibe listening to the karaoke all that went away fast. I felt welcomed, chilled n relaxed.

It was nothing crazy but it was a nice chill few hours of the...

Went there twice, figured the first time was just an off night. Anyway, the first time I went, they had a whopping $20 cover charge, what do you get for this? The privilege of going into the club, DJ playing so so music, didn't even stay long enough to finish a drink. I went back a few weeks ago, $40 entry fee!! Oh wow, 2 DJs playing so so music, and a whole other bar not evolved in the so called "event" could have been opened for people not wanting to see DJs for $40 bucks. The overall place is ran down, nothing special to see there. Neighborhood is sketchy and a friend of mine told me after my second visit that his car along with several others got broken into while parked in their so called "patrolled " parking lot. In short, if you are visiting Detroit, do not waste your time or money...

I have been here three times. The first time was a lot of fun with a nice crowd. The second time was only ok, with an assortment of small groups of people who didn't mingle outside of their respective groups. The last time I didn't get past the door. There was a person checking ID's at the door. I had a temporary ID, which the person at the door showed to the bartender. He said he would have let me in till he saw that my temp had expired a week earlier. I understand following the law, but I'm quite obviously a 50 year old man. So either this place has had a problem serving under age patrons and can't take any chances, in which case I don't want to support them. Or the bartender enjoys being kind of a jerk, in which case I don't want to support them....
