La Rosa Vip Cigar Lounge

I visited La Rosa Cigar Lounge last week.The lounge is really low-key and unassuming. You'll find no grandiloquence here. It leans into old-school lounge vibes with low lights and dark paint.It's located on a block of connected storefronts on the portion of Michigan Avenue where east and west are separated.The inside space is large enough to accommodate quite a few people. There are televisions to watch sporting events while relaxing in comfortable chairs.There seemed to be a decent selection of spirits. The bar itself seemed to seat about eight people.We stopped by because I wanted to pick up a few of my favorite Black-owned boutique cigars and have a quick drink before dinner.The bartender was really sweet. She shared tips about when to return for a visit and a bit about the clientele. We enjoyed talking with her about pop culture and food. The food here is supposed to be really good. There are only a few other cigar lounges in the greater Detroit area that offer food and spirits; a few more, if you don't mind a 40-minute drive.The humidor is on the smaller side, but it definitely has potential. I spotted a few of my favorite cigars and brands. The variety will suit many tastes.I found the drinks affordable. If I recall correctly, there are drink specials for weekday happy hour. Individual sodas are available for sale. I didn't notice a coffee situation, but I hope there's one.Live bands play on Friday and Saturday.They are closed on Monday and Tuesday and are open Wednesday - Sunday. Hours are 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; and 5:00 pm to 12:00 am on Friday and Saturday.Locker memberships are available.I didn't notice if there was a nearby parking lot. We parked on the street.In the coming week, I see that they are hosting an event with a Black-owned boutique cigar brand owner.I hope to see more of that for sure.They are on socials. Upon viewing their website, I see that they also have an app. I'm curious as to what it offers.

The energy, atmosphere, food and drinks are always great. Love the live band. You can always go in and enjoy great conversation at the bar. Make sure you check this spot out!

This is a nice spot!!I was told about this place by a few different people. So I had to come check it out.I really enjoyed the intimate ambience. It's not overly crowded (Sunday) But gives you a cool relax environment The Bartender Omar was very helpful and knowledgeable and attentive, everything you would expect from a great establishment like so.I met the a couple of the owners and they were cool and down to earth I definitely will be back, most likely will become a regular

One of the owners, is very rude and cocky! Will not be patronizing this establishment again! They need to install an air filtration to air out some of that Cigar smoke too. But no I will not refer anyone to this establishment because as I stated one of the owners SR was very rude and I had my Bday gathering there! Never again! It's Bar 101 for me or Downtown Detroit!
