Baker's Keyboard Lounge Reviews
This place is nothing like it used to be years ago. From Management to wait staff it’s truly very unprofessional. And now I’m hearing they’re not paying their talent. What’s going on, are they going broke? I could see why.
Disappointed! Was asked to hurry up and get out so the bartender/server could go to her second job in a very distasteful way. I couldn’t believe it honestly. She also overcharged us. It had been about 2 years since I visited and I was not impressed this time. Food was average, didn’t come on a live night but the playlist and drinks were good.

Baker's Keyboard Lounge is a restaurant and entertainment venue that offers great food and live music. The menu features a variety of options, including vegetarian choices, and the food is reported to be amazing, with many customers enjoying the excellent simple food. The staff are friendly and very attentive, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Customers have enjoyed the talented weekend band, the Ralphe Armstrong Trio, known for their fun stories and great entertainment.
Some customers have expressed frustration with additional fees, such as a $15 cover charge that should be explained as it will be included on the bill. The service can vary depending on the server; some have experienced long wait times for drinks and food, with reports of waiting 45 minutes to place an order. Despite these issues, the food and entertainment remain popular, making it a suitable spot for special occasions like birthday celebrations.
Baker's is recognized as a piece of Detroit history and jazz/blues history, making it a must-visit for fans of these genres or those interested in historical locations in Detroit. The atmosphere reflects a time gone by, and while the seating is notably small, it adds to the unique charm. Parking is available in a secured lot attached to the building, although customers may need to walk around to the entrance.
