Menjo's is a staple to one visiting Detroit. This is where Christopher Flynn used to meet Madonna…read morein the 1970's and dance with her. It's where she cut her teeth as a nightlife person and this place still carries this pure energy. Today there is such a smart blend of DJs that spin here that is purely cross-generational from every decade of House and makes underground known. They make Menjo's phenomenal. DJ Wax Assassin and Dj Andrew Wiesman were incredible to listen to perform their sets and nice to go between room and the patio area to hear the amazing sounds they were blending for us.

If there's a gay bar to have as your local haunt, I'm glad mine is Menjo's. Cute bar, cheap drinks,…read morefriendly staff (except for 1 bartender I could live without), customers are chill. People who are saying this place is "unsafe" just sound anti-black to me. Highland Park is rough around the edges, but it's no less safe than any other area of the city. I also like that it's spacious because being a middle aged gay man, I can't do shoulder-to-shoulder bars.

I'm all about a low key, divey watering hole and this place fit the bill. I was expecting it to be…read morepacked as the parking lot was full (with the exception of a couple of open spots), but thankfully, that wasn't the case. I'm not sure of their happy hour times (we arrived closer to 7pm) but we had a couple of drinks each and they were only 4.00 for well cocktails (not a bad price indeed). Bartenders were somewhat friendly (but not overly), and they weren't as attentive being that it wasn't busy. If you want to play tunes out of their jukebox you might need to ask the bartender to unlock it as an electronic message was displayed (not that the music playing was bad, I just wanted to hear some of my choice). Overall, I really like this place and will be back during our stay.

After I heard what the new owner has done, I have no plans to go here again. I have now spoken to…read moretwo long time patrons of this place who have told me that the new owner approached them, pulled them aside and told them that they were not welcome. No explanation; just leave. I was told that the new owner was trying to bring a Miami vibe to this place-whatever that means... why did you kick people out who did absolutely nothing wrong? Were they not cool enough for you? How did they mess up your pathetic attempt to bring Miami to Detroit? Shame on you.

Less of my ambivalent opinion was about the bar itself. We went there to check in for a bar crawl…read more Waited outside for 40 minutes. Once checked in we found a bartender quickly, got a shot and a beer. Uncomfortable metal stools and very few tables. No glass with a can of beer. Just meh...

So just to be 100% honest, the well is definitely a dive bar. So you basically get what you get…read morewhen you come here. It has decent music so don't get it twisted, it has plenty of space, they're not a lot of seats though so you'll be standing around most likely. But is a dive bar vibe. Don't expect fancy martinis or anything like that. They always have specials though. So if you can't get your Tito's lemon drop, you can get two for five beers or something LOL. The service is what you would expect from a busy location. I mean, it's pretty much nothing but bar so with only like two bartenders you got to wait at the end of the day. So just be conscientious of that and give it Grace because you are getting a service that you expect to come to contact with while you walk into a dive bar. I've been going there for years. Well before I moved, it is a staple and I feel like it's never going to die. It is always consistent and it'll give you exactly what you need. It's really good for pre-drinking because of drinks are fairly cheap, so keep that in mind. If you do go, you might want to go ahead and consider parking. Parking is going to be street parking because there's no lot specifically for this establishment. But there is plenty of parking in after a certain time in Detroit it's going to be free. If you are going to go ahead and do the well, it's best to go ahead and start the night with that so you don't have to worry about too many expensive drinks your at your actual location. And then after that You may want to consider finishing the night there. After you've had all the fancy dinners and stuff, if you want to go ahead and wrap up the night with a couple of cheap drinks, this is the place for you.

One thing I appreciate is I always know what is going to happen, great DJs, great techno, and folks that are ready to move along with it. The drinks were great (although I never order anything too crazy) and strong. They are also a record store so if you get tired of dancing take a break to look at all the cool discs they have. I am yet to visit during the day to try their coffee shop so that has to be my next visit.
