Bar β€’ Cocktail bar β€’ Night club

πŸ‘ A decent hangout spot on a Friday night. A Racially mixed crowd leaning more in favor of white folks in numbers on the pie chart. Interesting UV optics on the inside in a basement like setting. Not a bad spot to chill at. Ten dollar entry fee. I didn't buy drinks so I cannot comment on that aspect.... People often mention music, night, drinks, great, good, cool, drink, arcade, games, Great,

    A decent hangout spot on a Friday night. A Racially mixed crowd leaning more in favor of white folks in numbers on the pie chart. Interesting UV optics on the inside in a basement like setting. Not a bad spot to chill at. Ten dollar entry fee. I didn't buy drinks so I cannot comment on that aspect. A locale with a lot of dancing. Relatively attractive women. And the music is mostly Hip Hop which is cool. A few arcade machines, pinball machine, table hockey, table soccer. A main bar. The interior can get crowded. But you don't feel like you're being sandwiched by strangers all the time. The entrance to this place is found alongside what looks to be a cleared out but festive alleyway. I came here on a mission to find something different to do. And I was pleasantly surprised.

    This place is too instagrammable. You can go there, take a drink and too many pictures. Also they have a room with games. The music is like electronic, but it is not too high. Nice place to go.

    Really cool venue with interesting cocktails on tap (crazy!) and lots of cool arcade games made just for them. Went to see a show here, it's a bit hard to find as the entry is down an alley and the sound engineer seemed to have a rough time (all three bands had issues with their feedback so they didn't know how they sounded) but otherwise it was a great experience.

    Went here for the first time this past Saturday night. First time we tried to go a couple weekends ago, we found out there is cover charge, BUT it's cash only. I literally don't even know what cash looks like nowadays. I loved! the decor. You've all seen the pictures by now. One of my favorite parts was the video display area above the bar, super cool. They had a good drink and beer menu. I only got a beer so I can't say much for their drinks. My only downside is the music. While I really did enjoy the music, it's just not something that I, personally, would want to stay out all night dancing to. The music matches the funky decor, but I'm still waiting for that bar that just has the best damn house beats in all of Detroit.

    It looks cool for the camera but if you keep a clean home this place is a nightmare. I got there at 9 (they basically just opened) and the floor was uncomfortable to walk on due to how sticky it was, you can't even dance on it without your sandals coming off your feet. I was also mad eyeing the drink rings. I was like the only person with a drink so far so I knew they didn't clean well from the last night. I did not want to touch anything it was just so sticky and gross.

    Hands down a great go to with friends. Definitely recommend to arrive early as this place fills up very quickly. Cover charge is usually 10 bucks and optional coat check is $3, they do accept cash and cards. They have pretty decent drinks despite the more pricey cost, they offer arcade games as well as live DJs, and the thing that really sets them apart from the rest of the bars downtown is their neon section. Overall very cool, very different, and very much a vibe.

    Came here for my birthday. Drinks were strong. The DJ playing that night was pretty good, but I was pretty disappointed with the arcade area. Both pinball machines were out of order and the buttons on the working games were so sticky u couldn’t play. Air hockey felt like it was covered in syrup. There was a coat check sign that they taped on the wall, then told my friend it was only for the winter. Not sure if I would return.

  • 1/5 Rowena H. 4 years ago on Google
    This venue is the worst. They had Tiger Army scheduled to play and then at the last minute- 30 mins before it started, had to have the event moved across town and it occurred 2 hours later than planned so my mother and I could not go. That night, someone who worked at the venue said the band was nasty and irresponsible and didnt read their contract and that is what caused the event to be moved. I contacted the band and asked them about it and they said that the venue lied about the security and space measurements of the stage. The band tried for a couple hours to make the event work but couldn't. They also tried to contact deluxx fluxx for months prior to the event and could not get a direct answer. I emailed the venue for a refund. They apologized and agreed to refund both of my tickets but only refunded one. I emailed them again and they never replied or refunded my other ticket. I even filed a dispute with my credit card company and they would not respond even after in writing stating they would refund it. These people are shady liars. Do not buy tickets from them!!!

    This place is sweet, a physcadelic dream. Beer list, meh not so much... and the pinball machines were down but that doesnt effect my like for the place. We were there for live bands, great little spot for music. Folks working the bar on a Wednesday night were super kind and cool. I dig it, check it out!

    Neat underground club with decent music. $5 cover charge and typical drink prices. Foosball was fun to play for free.

    Great vibes, music and crowd. Bring cash for the $5 cover-it's definitely worth it. Bartenders often add 20% tip to bill on their checkout machines - but you can always check a different amount or percentage on the screen.

    Very cool little place. It's small and intimate which is great for shows. I had a margarita to drink which was really good. Not easy to find, but it's right on the corner right next to the parking garage. Has a little game room with old arcade games. Sadly lost my money in a pinball machine which was $1 per token play so I didn't waste anymore money on the games. Take a walk around the area, it's in beautiful downtown Detroit and there are lots of things to check out!

    This little gem was perfect. The DJ was great heard everything from Jay-Z and Jeezy to Nirvana and Sugar Ray. Nice crowd. Everybody was friendly and fun. Cover charge wasn't ridiculous ($5). They have a coat check ($3). Drinks overpriced but bar staff was quick. Bathroom was clean. The mirror in the ladies room was horrific, was Amber colored and fun house like. Other than that will absolutely return.

    Watch out for the Mexican kid at the door. Stepped out for a smoke and staff urged me to get a stamp to come back in. However, power trip kid didnt care. Told us to wait in line like everyone else. Ended up leaving my card at the bar to avoid waiting in line again for an hour.drinks we're good though so 2 stars.

    Mostly rated this way because it's not at all what I expected. Detroit has some amazing sidebars and super interesting places to have a drink... this definitely was not one of them. There was no one down there when we went. The floor was really sticky and definitely wouldn't want to go into the women's bathroom again! They did have a couple of drinks on a menu that were a little creative but not worth the money spent.

  • 3/5 Jaylo L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a really great bar/club! Great music! The bartenders are really friendly! I’ve notice they do Charge differently I paid $15 and some change for two shots and then I got the same two shots and paid $35 I’ve tried calling but never get an answer. The biggest downfall of this place is one of the security guards. He’s just very rude and not friendly at all it seems he lets his job title really go to his head he’s usually the one checking the IDs and always has a smart a** comment. The other guards are so respectful but I dread interacting with him when I go here he makes people uncomfortable.

  • 4/5 Grace S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice vibes, very spacious, has a sitting area, dance floor and arcade area. The drinks were super expensive and you could only order from that menu, a gin and tonic was $14. We did not pay cover the night we went. Love the blue lights and art on the walls.

  • 5/5 SirBarrighini 4 years ago on Google
    Cool environment i would recommend coming.

  • 2/5 Kasadi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Yea the bar is gorgeous but the ice cube was the size of my drink. I had about 5 sips of my Long Island that was $10. So ridiculous.

  • 5/5 Ari X. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite clubs. Always packed, good music (urban/top 40) and good scenery

  • 4/5 Eric D. 4 years ago on Google
    Went here for the first time on a Saturday night. We originally planned just to get a few drinks and bar hop around the belt but we ended up staying until close. There was a great vibe here and alot of good energy. The bartenders were attentive with us, and made awesome drinks. I haven't played foosball in years but it was something fun to do before the DJ came on. The only negative was it became overcrowded, and you could barely move around towards the end of the night. Other than that it was a fun experience and better than your typical bar/club/dance floor setup.

  • 3/5 Shanae R. 4 years ago on Google
    I love that it glows in the dark! I find that to be soooo freaking cool! I also like that they have lots of bands who come & showcase their talent. Along with open mic nights for local artists to participate in.

  • 4/5 Ian W. 5 years ago on Google
    I've visited a few times and it's been a generally positive experience. It's a basement bar and although it's unique and interesting, the novelty wears off rather quickly. Only one section of the bar is what you see commonly photographed and visitors generally congregate in that area. The seats in that section have often been sticky and wet with spilled drinks, rendering them useless. Their house cocktails are a bit expensive, particularly given the chunk of ice they place in your cup takes up nearly 75% of the overall volume. If I remember correctly, the arcade games are ridiculously expensive. Given all that, it's still pretty cool and a good place to visit with out of town friends or if you've never been.

  • 1/5 Alexis L. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible place to hang out the bartender LINDSEY is races & treated me & my bf very rudely because we asked her to add more liquor to our drink. She threw our drink out & ask security to put us out. DO NOT GO HERE !

  • 3/5 Sydney B. 4 years ago on Google
    If you're visiting Detroit you should check this place out to say you did. It's not your typical bar or club, mostly techno vibe when I was there and they didn't have a huge drink selection and we're pricey but it is a great place is your goal is Instagram photos. Also nice because they have lots of places to sit and chill so it would be good for a larger group.

  • 4/5 Wayne H. 4 years ago on Google
    Cool atmosphere

  • 5/5 Megan T. 1 year ago on Google
    really cool place with dope music and a variety of drinks. only a few arcade games work so don't expect to go there for that reason.

  • 5/5 Alex Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool vibe. Love all the artwork and the custom arcade machines with insane games on them. I played some game where I was flying a plane and dropping bundles of drugs to boats in the Detroit river. Cocktails are pretty expensive but it's a really fun place that deserves to be experienced at least once.

  • 5/5 Oleshia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very fun! Drinks were amazing! The environment was friendly and the music was on poin.

  • 4/5 Joshua Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun venue, great atmosphere. Drinks are expensive ($11+) per drink. They need to fix their foosball table (and a few of their arcade machines).

  • 4/5 Sergio M. 4 years ago on Google
    Really cool looking club. Only downside is that, at least when I was there, the place was pretty empty. Other than that, I had a good time. Drinks are nothing special.

  • 5/5 Mandy C. 4 years ago on Google
    I've never been to a bar quite like this! All the walls and floors are cover with black light, neon posters. It's an experience! Cover was around $10 on a Saturday. I think it was worth it. The atmosphere was high energy and the place was packed. We danced our way to a less crowded part and boogied our night away. This place is the perfect opportunity for a photo op. I think some beers were around $5 and cocktails were around $10. We never had a problem flagging down a bartender, and our drinks were prepared quickly! I would 10/10 come back here. I'm glad I found this place.

  • 5/5 Tommie T. 11 months ago on Google
    Had a really great experience at the Ambre concert hosted here and later that night r&b night. The DJ was amazing, and the drinks were great.

  • 2/5 My R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Deluxx Fluxx, the aesthetic and arcade vibe are outstanding. My complaint is that the music lately has become less and less diverse. I feel like a better variety of music will keep more people coming. Also during peak hours its nearly impossible to get a drink.

  • 4/5 Marie R. 5 months ago on Google
    I liked it! The staff, the lights, the vibe was off the charts. I love when I find a place where I can be a big kid. It was fun and laughter all night long.

  • 4/5 Sara B. 6 months ago on Google
    tl;dr Pros: cool looking, great crowd, good music, clean bathrooms. Cons: Dirty everywhere else, 7 bucks for a half pint?, not enough staff to manage crowd size (bar and cleaning). Obviously the aesthetic here is unique and provides a nice background for pics and video. Cover was cheap and there was no line when we showed up around 11 on a Friday night. Good variety of clientele; some people in suits and formal attire, some people in sweats or work clothes. Didn't matter, people just vibing. Great crowd, great energy. Music was good; hip-hop. Clean ladies room. By the time we left around 1, it was very crowded and the line at the bar was long. Would have stayed longer but I don't like waiting for drinks cuz it sucks the fun right out of the night. Not enough bartenders. This place was kinda dirty like they don't wanna pay enough staff to do rounds and clean. I saw someone cleaning up, they tried, but there was still cups everywhere, sticky everything. There was slippery food on the floor that someone must have brought in. Would NOT recommend getting down and touching the floor when dancing. Anyway, nice little club just make sure you get your clothes straight to the washer and shower when you get home. Oh and don't forget to clean your shoes.
