Griot Music lounge

A D.J. playing vinyl records. Music varied and great selections.Very friendly neighborhood bar. Small, dark and intimate. Good place for a date. Music soft enough to carry on a conversation. A bit hard to find. You need to walk a short distance down what appears to be an alley. But, worth the search.

This place is definitely a vibe. I went last night with a friend. There was a DJ playing music in a dimly lit small room. It gives a intimate but chill atmosphere. My friend had one of the cocktails on the menu and I had Cabernet. I would like to see the Wine quality be upgraded. The mixed drinks were ok. I think the best thing was the intimate feel and DJ. I've heard there's LIVE music sometimes so I definitely plan to go back. Also it's kinda hidden which also adds to the vibe.

This is a small intimate spot with great soulful music playing in the background. The seating is arranged for you to be in community with whomever your with. The bar seating if you like watching your drinks made as I do. The bartender is really nice and her timing for offering the next drink is spot on. The environment is warm and friendly. It's not over crowded and it's decorated with beautiful art. I will definitely return.

PRO'nounced GReee'o! HAS eh 'Take Five,' olde skool - vinyl atmosphere!! And dah sounds I haven't heard in like a while! What a Great Spot!! Was looking for something chill. And nothing clubish....Glad I stopped in. Locate holds it own, with their intimate and meek appeal off 'Forrest!' And I do have to tell yah, crisp echoes!! The genres that popped from the speakers is a mood changer!! Pulls you right on in. So you can kind of say, I dig that....Some studious deets!! Mature and positive vibes! Elixir choices, are very nice....Must try the 'Green Tea' the way it is sifted in the glass with Jameson! Music is a hummmm and head-bop of a time! From Al Jarreau to Mtume. Happy Hour is $8, from 4p to 6p. With a small menu and serving popcorn. Place is definitely staying on my 'repeat' - do-over.... Till next time.

500th review... Oh yeah!I've actually been around here multiple times and never realized this place was here. Its a lowkey spot; my friend and I came here after a Piston's game. There was about 15 to 20 people, so if you didn't have a seat when you got there then you didn't once we were all in there. Lol!I highly recommend the "GRIOT" drink - it's only $5 and tasty too. It seems that drink ranged between $5 and $11 bucks. Lighting is low, so be careful but everything is all on one floor; there's about 10 seats at the bar (5 on each side). I feel this would be a nice date night with a boo; but seat at the bar so you won't get bumped because of tight space.Happy drinking!!!

The drinks are strong and the vibe reminds me of a jazz club. I do wish the music was better. I recommend stopping in for a chill night with friends and drinks.

This is a really cool place, that I did not know about. It's blacked owned and really cool on the inside. It's called a music lounge. They have great service and it's a really nice place to chill. The space is small but get cozy you will meet people and chill with your friends here. The music is great! I would definitely recommend this to small groups, or couples. FYI the drinks are strong.

This is a great spot to either pre-game or post-game a night out in the town. The atmosphere is hip without the snobby hipster vibe. Very laid back with cool tunes playing comfy chairs and seating arrangements to enjoy whoever you're hanging with and their conversation. The bartender was extremely cool and funny as hell. Some may say a tad overboard with her sense of humor but she kept us rolling the entire time. She was very accommodating. It was like we came to her house party and she wanted to make sure everything was perfect and it was. I'm not sure about the food situation seems like this is a drinks only spot but who needs food when you have all of the above?

Great place to listen to music, chill and enjoy great drinks! Wish they were open a little later in the evening and had a more extensive food menu, but we enjoy our time there anyway.

The PERFECT spot for a drink and conversation. Loved the laid back vibe and great music. Will be back whenever I visit Detroit again.
