Now renamed "Toro's," this cigar bar is an elegant establishment among others Downriver. It has an old time feel added with a modern zest, comfy leather sofas, nice big screens, full bar, and a plethora selections of cigars. Appeals to a nice clientele. Nice for gatherings, date night, business meeting, reunion, and just regaling with old friends and family.

It's a dope spot,, I am definitely keen to the "low key" dimly lit atmosphere. Cigar smoking is allowed inside as well, as long as it's purchased from their humidor.I always order the "Rodney special." I prefer it in a martini glass. Bartender said that my drink will not fit in any of their martini glass. So I told her, fit it where it can fit and it happened. Happy camper right at that moment.Music sets the mood for me. All the wood grain, dimly lit smoky atmosphere gets me in the mood for some speak easy. Sinatra era type of music. So I load up the touch tune app, stick some money in it and start playing some Diana Krall, Michael Bublé, Henry Connick, etc. You get the drift. Somehow a real tree fitting gentleman at a table talking to some guy in a blue scrub suit had a problem with us. It got to the point where he shot me the middle finger,, I shot one back,, i wasn't scared. Gave him the, "there's the parking lot outside" nod." Although I could only imagine if it was some new patron that didn't know how to stick it back to a bar room bully. Specially the "Real Tree" apparel wearing type.I could tell the bar tender and her friend was trying hard to keep us happy. Even joked around with us to make the atmosphere a little less hostile, but the damage has been done.The service was definitely amazing, but unfortunately I will never probably set foot in this establishment again. Hostility is never a good thing, specially to new prospecting patrons such as ourselves.Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!

For a cigar bar, you would never know it by the outside. It looks like a run down shack with a dilapidated parking lot. The only way you know it is what it is is the sign calls itself a cigar and martini bar.For me, I wasn't too impressed. There's nothing really different than the other cigar bars in the Metro Detroit and Tri-County area. Leather seating, high tops, a walk-in humidor, bar, TV with sports, and such.The reason for the 3 star is the lack of selections, lack of knowledge of the staff, and the lack of diversity with drinks. No really great tasting beers or drinks that can compliment the flavor of the cigars. And if you ask the person running the bar, she doesn't really know. I'll probably go again just because I finally know what I like but, it's nothing to rave about.

It's been a few years since I've been to Stix,. Nice selection of cigars and martinis. I had the salted caramel pretzel martini and boy, did that go down smooth!! The chocolate on the rim and sea salt was delicious too. It wasn't very busy when we got there but the bartender was friendly and the couches and decor were comfortable and pleasing to the eye. One star off because the music was super loud hard rock. Some soft relaxing jazz or r&b would have been better. Otherwise a pretty decent experience.

Hey all you martini lovers! Stix has a menu of martini's a mile long. From the keylime pie martini to the sugar daddy ( that tasts like the candy) the chocolate, the carribean I could go on and on and of course the all time dirty and regular. Then there is the humidor stocked with fine cigars with personal lockers to rent. Ladies night is thursday with $5.00 martini's for the ladies. The wait staff is fun and friendly along with the crowd the hangs out there. It's upscale and casual with nice leather couches for lounging and also comphy club chairs. There are flat screens for all you sports fans and a fireplace. Check it out.

We have been here on multiple occasions. It's a very nice place with a great atmosphere. Plenty of soft leather couches and chairs as well as high top tables to accommodate groups. They're drink menu is pretty extensive for scotches and martinis. Reasonably priced with a good staff. The only drawback is they have no food or snack items. That would be a definite plus. We will return, we always do!

Well Done!The outside of this place is deceiving, it looks like a 1 star diner. I would have never stopped in without a recommendation from my dad and some friends. When I walked in I was Impressed!This place is great. Great drinks, reasonable prices, AWESOME environment. Everything is top of the line (Except they don't have vanilla Stolli). Mahogany and Granite tables, big comfy leather couches, fireplace, plenty of TVs (With remote)... I love it. You just don't find places like this very often. You MUST stop in. Don't just drive by (I thought about it when I saw the outside).

Nice quiet spot to enjoy a drink and cigar. Unfortunately, they do not have food but they do allow outside food to be brought in. Cigars smoked inside this establish must be purchased from the humidor. The humidor is large with plenty of options. They only have a few beers on tap but do have bottles and a full bar.
