About this place Menjo's Complex

Menjo's, at 928 West McNichols Road on the edge of Palmer Park, has been Detroit’s longest‑running gay bar since 1974. The venue is more a small complex than a single room. A main bar spills onto a dance floor, the Detroit Eagle occupies a side space for leather and bear crowds, and Olympus Hall stages drag shows on most weekends. Doors open Thursday through Sunday around 9 p.m. (8 p.m. on Sundays) and stay locked until 2 a.m.; the Saturday and Sunday nights are noticeably packed. There’s a lot of street parking right out front, which is essential—most patrons show up by car or rideshare because nothing else nearby is within walking distance.

You never know when they are open. Since Lee took over the hours have become so inconsistent you never know when to go. I have tried hard to patronize them because I loved Jimmy (Poodles) and the old Menjo's; it's NOTHING like that anymore. I asked the bartenders about the hours of operation and they are as upset as the patrons. It's hard to sell a happy hour if no one knows when to go. Lou (the owner) should have dumped Lee and got Tim back as general manager. It's half of what it could be. Lee might be good at cleaning the place or something, but being a general manager he's not.
