New Dodge Lounge

Love the vibe, sound, and friendly bartenders.  However they ripped me off by over charging my debit on a tab-- and failed to remedy the situation despite admittance of error, and several phone calls over a months time. So bring CASH. Sorry, two stars as a result.

This place is okay. The sound quality is better than other venues but they rarely have good bands playing. sometimes they'll charge cover and that's just ridiculous. the Belmont does that shit too and that pisses me off because I do not carry cash. The local girls that hang out in the pool room will try to start a fight with you and then rape you in the alley but other than that it's a typical bar.

Hamtramck is an enigma to me.  It is such a diverse neighborhood, with so many wonderful businesses (Yemeni, Bosnian, Macedonian...), and yet the bar scene seems either full of hipsters, or, as I saw at New Dodge, the most depressing smokers.  It reminds me of the nosebleed section of a Red Wings game.   I would have given 1 or 2 stars, but the service is pretty amazing and the drinks are cheap.
