AFAR Magazine selected “Time Travel to Jazz Age Detroit” for an August/September 2013 special issue.
Cafe D’Mongo’s Speakeasy, a tarnished gem hiding in plain sight in Downtown Detroit, encapsulates stylish patrons buzzing with alcohol and wallowing in Detroit’s glittering Jazz Age glory. Artifacts, oversized vintage photographs, and brass instruments drip from the green walls; live guitars and pianos blast throw-back jams; and the friendly owner, a bit of a local celeb, exudes pride in his longtime establishment as he welcomes his guests with a shining smile. Try the Detroit Brown—whiskey, Vernor’s ginger ale, and bitters—for a fully Detroit experience. Open Friday and Saturday nights.
