Delux Lounge

I like Delux Lounge. I desperately want to love it because it has so much potential, especially on karaōke Wednesday’s, but DJ Robby Rob is somewhat of a buzz kill. He has weird rules about whose song comes on first. It’s definitely not in the order in which it was submitted; he shuffles it to the point where you’ve lost interest for the song (s) you’ve requested. I’ve brought a large group of my coworkers here on Karaōke Wednesday’s and would love to keep doing so, but Karaōke needs to be more chill. There’s way too many rules right now and I feel like DJ Robby Rob is reprimanding us, when we’re just having a good time. Let’s loosen up a bit, shall we?

It is not really a crowded club but there are something like 15 – 20 people dancing between 12 – 2 pm at a Friday night. I think it is good if you want a close and friendly place to just have little fun. By the way, be careful to evade the guy who charge you for paper tolls at restroom.

Don’t go to deluxe lounge if you want good drinks. I ordered raspberry stoli with soda, and it definitely wasn’t rasberry stoli. My friend ordered flavored ciroq, and again didn’t get ciroq. They are obviously filling their bottles with the cheapest liquor they can find. Will never go there again. That’s probably no one was there on a Friday night.

Pretty cool place, bartenders are nice and the DJ on Fridays is awesome! The need to start serving food though.

Nice dance spot! Easy in, easy out! Quick waitstaff for drinks! Great drinks! Fun dance music! A place you can dance and enjoy yourself! Quick to people mover and Greektown!

Found this place on Unilocal.We walked downtown by varies bars but ended up at this one because after all we wanted to dance. At the beginning it was kinda of empty, but closer to 11pm it started getting packed. The music was on point. Fridays is free cover for ladies and $ 5 martinis (which they have a great variety). The bathroom attendant was super nice. The staff at this place is also.
I would recommend this place if you are looking to have a great night dancing and not break the bank.

Cool place to hang out and have drinks.
It’s kinda dark and you have to walk down a little slope (once inside) to get actually IN, but it’s still cool. On the weekends, it’s more of a club type of deal with the line, cover charge and DJ. There is a bathroom attendant who has a variety of smell goods, lotions and other do-​dads you might need to use (tips are appreciated). I kinda don’t like the bathroom being right at the front door because sometimes, they leave the door to the bathroom wide open and everybody coming in or standing in line can see you fixing your clothes or freshening your makeup in the mirror.
The martini selection seems to be pretty good, but I usually stick with my usual drink choice and that’s usually made fast and consistent.

Went back yesterday. The last couple of times I’ve been there over have been pretty terrible. The music is horrendous. All gangster rap and tasteless. They charged cover for the guys on Saturday night $ 5, ladies free. We were a really big group of 15 people. The place was pretty empty at 12.30 pm. I can’t comment about the drinks because I didn’t drink. Overall bad experience. We won’t be back.

I like this place, but the guy at the door scamming you for $ 5 detracts from this place, as does the bathroom attendant. I don’t need someone putting soap in my hand and selling me paper towels for a $ 1. Capital Grill, sure, but some BS C+ to B– club in Detroit, no thanks. If this was an ultra club that was super nice inside I would understand, but it’s not.
FWIW the VIP area needs an over-​haul. The couches are sunk in, uncomfortable, and ripped. The layout of the area should be modified. The extension that kicks out toward the DJ tripped no less than 5 people while I was there. It’s a safety issue and should be remedied asap.
Good DJ, great drinks, reasonable prices, but they start their «line» way too early. You wait in line for 15 – 20 minutes then get inside and realize that the place is completely dead. I realize that having a line outside is somewhat of an advertisement for a club, but at least be at 30% capacity before you start the line and charging people cover, or give people a free drink with their cover charge to keep them there for ½ hour to an hour until it fills up.

Awesome time again! Mitch was Sooo great and really went above and beyond. A special thank you to him!
The other owner was great too, which he didn’t give his name? Think he handled the bar area and reservations. The security was very nice too.
We had Ariel again and she was awesome once again! Always smiling and goes above and beyond!
Thank you for being so accommodating to our group ;)
Be careful if you drink the testarossa martini it catches up with you fast! Lol!

This place has a martini selection that’s out of this world. The Bloody Mary martini was unique and so tasty!
Ambiance is nothing special but the drinks are fantastic. Definitely worth hitting up if you’re out on the town.

Had a great time here again last night. Thank You Karl & Frankie! Karl really knows how to pour a Jameson and Franky’s F’me Frankie is truly a lady killer. Get the owners to accept TradePays so I can send all the members in for the games.

This place was recommended by some local cops. It was good for people watching. There were a couple bachelorette parties there tearing up the dance floor. The drinks were good and the prices were cheap. They had a large selection of alcohol. Service was also good. The DJ played great music and we enjoyed our time there.
The only negative I have is that the crowd seems to change around midnight, it felt a bit more intense after the midnight hour hit.

Good place for opening day. If you get there early enough there is no cover… however, if you exit you have to pay cover again. They do have area to smoke without exiting. It was not overly croweded… the patrons were nice in the bar line and even helped your order. There were also waitresses near the dance floor. The game is on multiple tvs and a dj played as well. The jäger girls were there and we even got a free jäger tshirt. Drink prices were about 4 bucks for a vodka cranberry and they were not weak either.

Pretty good beer selection, and a delectible martini menu — especially dangerous on Thursday nights when all martinis are $ 5. Weekends it gets poppin’. Expect a line and a cover charge — but also expect a good time! The weekend experience is definitely more club-​like. You won’t find anything extrodinary or gound breaking, but the music, crowd, and scene is consistent and good. The crowd is 20 – 30’s and know how to have a good time without getting drunk to the point of puking on themselves. The DJ isn’t going to blow your mind with sweet new sounds, but you can bet that martini that you’ll hear your new jam from the radio being played.
Thursdays for $ 5 martinis and weekends for dancing — that’s what I hit Delux for. Other weeknights, and happy hour, can be hit or miss.

As time goes on, I’ve learned to love Delux more and more… EVEN when it gets crowded… especially if I sneak in just before the rush to grab a table or bar stool.
Jay Brown is awesome, which helps me love it even more. The drinks do not fail me– although $ 5 Thursdays is sure to be the death of me one day! The bartending ladies usually forget to wear most of their clothes, but even that does not bother me. This just an all-​around fun place to spend a night throwing some back with friends — or hell, even by yourself!
Get the pink taco ;)

I always frequent Delux Lounge under the same conditions: on a Saturday Night, stepping in around 12:30−1am, and already drunk but not quite wasted.
When bopping place-​to-​place in Greektown I always think of Delux and can’t resist. There has steadily been a more than tolerable crowd (to the point where I can almost safely declare it a douche-​bag free zone from my experiences). All of the music played is top40 dance stuff, but the DJ switches it up enough that you’re forgetting ‘that one annoying song’ as soon as you heard it. And the drinks are strong enough that you aren’t really going to care anyway. All wins in my book.

Considering I don’t even remember leaving Delux Lounge, I’m going to chalk it up as a good experience.
Nycole K and I went there to blow off some steam and we sat at the bar. The bartender/​mixologist — Adam, was awesome. He paid us the right amount of attention and surprisingly wasn’t a complete tool.
We started ordering drinks and Adam kept up with us pretty well. Now, I can’t really blame the next chain of events on the bar, but I can’t complain.
We sat strategically in a place, just far enough apart to create a hole for people order a drink. When they would come to the bar, we would strike a conversation with them. As the place got more packed, and these people would wait longer, the more we would talk, and eventually score a free shot/​drink. So luckily I got to sample several of Delux Lounge finest. Hence, the memory loss.
The atmosphere is practically nothing, but kinda cool located below ground. They also attract a nice blend of young and trampy, and older and pathetic. For the record, I fall somewhere in between.
One star away because I wasn’t a fan of the DJ’s choice of mix. But other than that, it’s a great place to have some fun drinks, get your dance on, and hang with a bar full of people just having a good time.

As my profile states, I like to move it, move it. And movin’ it at Delux Lounge is pretty darn easy. The sectioned off portion of the dance floor is the perfect space to get your dance and party on while you toss back a few drinks. The DJ, while not the world’s most innovative, will keep the top 40 hits coming all night long, and let’s face it – that’s what top 40 is great for. Sweet dance moves, yo!
The bar is relatively easy to get to from the dance floor (unless it’s super crowded, which can happen) and the bartenders are quick with a drink and friendly to boot! The prices are totally reasonable (although admittedly I spent a good portion of my drinking years in college Chicago so I find most cocktails in the Detroit area a steal) and the drinks are stiff and tasty. A good selection of beer (STELLLLLA!) and the waitresses that roam the floor are very helpful and cheerful as well.
If you’re not really the type to bust out the running man and drop it like it’s hot on the dance floor you can still have a good time at Delux. The music isn’t so loud that you can’t carry a decent conversation and there are a few huge booths that make sitting and chatting relatively easy (just make sure you get there early on a weekend since they fill up fast!). Parking can be kind of a nightmare unless you pony up for the lot across the street (which I suggest you do since window popping does happen downtown, unfortunately), and since it can get crowded it can be a bit overwhelming if you’re agoraphobic. But if you’re cool with a crowd and you want a fun, low stress night out, Delux is a pretty good place to gather your friends and hit the dance floor. Bring on the Usher, ya’ll!
