Slice of Texas in Detroit?

Jul 11, 2025, 6:52 PM

Happy Friday to all of you magnificent bastards! I've got a question that I'm hoping some of you gentlemen that frequent the Detroit area can answer for me.

It's been roughly 2 years since my last time in DTW, but beginning at the end of Q3, it's looking like work will be taking me back there at least once every two months. It seems like the go-to spots (in the suburbs) for great memories are still the go-to spots. As a monger that's typically in Texas, Florida, and TJ, hopefully it doesn't come as a surprise that I love Latin vibes, reggaeton, Mexicanas, and Cubanas.

So my question is this: do any of the go-to spots (FC, LS, BT's, Hank's, Bogies) ever play reggaeton? And more importantly, do any of them have Mexicanas and/or Cubanas? Because the last time I was in DTW, I don't recall seeing any. But based on recent reviews, it seems like they're occasionally around. Can any of you fellas help me narrow down a club and shift (day vs. night)?

Thank you in advance!

I am not a DTW reg, but last time I was in town BT's did seem to have a few cubanas working. I don't remember them playing reggaeton though.

No on your music. Try BTs or Silver Criket for Cubans on day shifts. Most don't know English and stay at price point. Most stay together at one booth and ate on their phones.

@RonJax2 and @PepsiMan Thank you fellas. I suppose the absence of my favorite club music, but the presence of my favorite club company, is miles better than if it was vice-versa!

@PepsiMan I didn't remember or even think of Silver Criket; thank you for that. Similarly, thank you for the specifics. I speak fluent Spanish, so the language barrier won't be an issue. But it's extremely helpful to know that they're on days and tend to stick to a table. Typically, I prefer nights, and usually wait for dancers to come to me. So it's definitely great to know that (if I want my choice of preferred company) I'll need to find time during the day, and that I'll need to approach them as opposed to the usual.

Thank you again fellas. Have a great weekend!
