Chromatics Lounge

The Chromatics Lounge is located on the second floor of MotorCity Casino.

It's not a nightclub but it's more than just a bar.

PARKING
To access Chromatics Lounge you have to enter the casino.  The best way is to either park in the casino parking garage or valet park.  Both options are free, however weekends are extremely busy and it may be challenging to find a space in the parking garage.

ENTRY
To enter the casino you must be 21+ with proper ID.  Security at the entry points check IDs throughly.  If you look under 30 and don't have ID, you won't be allowed to enter.

Chromatics Lounge is located on the second floor against the back wall.

DRINKS
Remember that this lounge is inside of a casino, the drink prices aren't unreasonable but they can be a bit higher than the average neighborhood bar.

The bartenders can make just about anything you request.  Also, they offer a variety of beer (bottled & tap), a small selection of wines and soft drinks.

ATMOSPHERE
The lounge area is very intimate with dim lighting, strobe lighting and reflectors.  The bar seats about 10-15 people and they also have upholstered chairs and booths on the lounge floor, which seats an estimated 75-100 people.

The best thing about the Chromatics lounge is the live entertainment.  They offer live bands and performers (Classic Rock, Oldies, R&B, Top 40 and Variety) 7-days per week.  Monday-Thursday performances start @ 7 PM; Friday-Saturday they have two performances @ 5:15 PM & 10 PM; and on Sunday @ 3:30 PM.

WARNING
Friday and Saturday nights are extremely busy.  In most cases by performance time there are no seats available and standing room is also hard to find.  In the event that you don't get there in time for a seat you can still enjoy the sounds of the music from a slot machine a few rows away.  Seriously. The sound system in this place is amazing and you can actually hear the music in multiple areas of the casino.
