Cool place with occasional live music. It is a little cramped, I wouldn't recommend a group larger than 4 unless you have a back up plan. They do have some tables for 6ish closer to the back but when I asked to get sat there the bouncer said it's closed, then 15 min later I saw some people go sit back there. Table service can be a bit slow when it gets busy so just buy from the bar in that case.

Edit: i appreciate the response!!

Café D’Mongo’s is one of Detroit’s true treasures. After a long night out, nothing hits like their grilled cheese—it’s legendary. The vibe is unlike anywhere else: live music from one of the most classic house bands in the city, drinks poured in solo cups, and the energy of a house party but set right in the heart of downtown. No frills, all character. Come for the music, stay for the grilled cheese, and leave with a story.

4/5 stars because the N/A...

Great music, great bartenders! This is by far the best scotch selection in the downtown area, and the most hospitable bar I have ever had the pleasure to step into. Thank you for your kindness, D'Mongo!
