Detroit — HM Style Lounge & Chill Room, a Detroit-based community bar and lounge, celebrated its grand opening in Grandmont Rosedale, Monday.
HM Style Lounge & Chill Room is a Motor City Match (MCM) Round 10 business plan and Round 12 space awardee totaling $5,000 in business services. It is among several Black- and Detroit resident-owned businesses receiving support from MCM, the City of Detroit and the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation (DEGC).

Born and raised in Detroit, owner Herschell Masten said he wants the bar and lounge to serve as a space for fellow Detroiters to kick back and relax – and leave their worries outside. He currently has four employees and plans to hire 15 full-time and five part-time employees as his business continues to grow.
“We’re starting to see a lot of development in the neighborhood,” said Councilman James Tate. The new HM lounge is located in the District 1 area in which the councilman oversees. “He has now enmeshed himself within the neighborhood which is extremely important. We tell business owners all the time. If you build it, they won’t always come. You’ve got to make sure you’re a part of the community and that’s exactly what Herschell has done”.
The bar and lounge offers cultural events such as live art, poetry readings and fashion shows with a focus on local artists and talent. DJ classes will be offered to patrons at no charge; the lounge will also host pop-up chefs serving unique cuisine.
