Belicoso Cafe Martini & Wine Cigar Bar

Belicoso Cafe Martini & Wine Cigar Bar has become something of a downtown Wyandotte institution, and the word around town is that it's the best cigar bar in the whole downriver area. It's a small, welcoming spot where the atmosphere runs calm and relaxed, and locals will tell you the crowd feels less like patrons and more like family. Stop in once and you'll likely get to know a few regulars, folks like Sonny, along with owner Mark, who's known to help newcomers pick out the right cigar. The humidor here stays fully stocked, and ask anyone who shops here and they'll say you'll find what you're looking for.

Whether you've been smoking for decades or you're just starting out, the staff know their cigars and take the time to walk you through the selection. Smoking accessories are on hand too. One person who came in with a visiting family member left with a few cigars picked out by Mark and couldn't have been more pleased. The bar side is just as much a draw.

People who come here swear by the cocktails, and the bartenders have earned real reputations of their own. Dalal gets called the best bartender in the metro Detroit area, and folks rave about Delan's talent for flavored drinks and Nataly's mixing behind the bar. Espresso martinis come filled right to the brim, and you can just as easily settle in with a cappuccino during the day. With a strong local following and a reputation that draws people from across downriver, Belicoso has clearly struck the right balance of good cigars, good drinks, and a genuinely friendly room.

As one regular put it, it's the only place in all of downtown Wyandotte worth going to. Stop by, pull up a seat, and see why so many keep coming back.
