Stopped in for an impromptu dinner while visiting Detroit for a conference. I was pleasantly surprised by the classy, modern atmosphere then surprised again by the sophisticated cocktail menu. Every drink had an interesting and complex twist on a classic drink. I ordered the Dog Days Negroni with a burger for dinner. The burger was cooked exactly as I ordered and topped with delicious sauteed mushrooms. The cocktail was, hands down, one of the best negronis I've ever drank. I will be visiting again when I'm back in Detroit and encourage everyone to give this place a try.
Amazing bar! First time in Detroit we stumbled on this cool looking alley with lots of people and great night life. Saw this spot at the end of the alley and we had to check it out! Josh behind the bar served us some fantastic cocktails. Ask for The Last Word if you wanna taste a Detroit classic. Their drinks are crafted with some really unique flavors and the bartenders keep it entertaining. Definitely a place you gotta go! Drinks are strong, music is good, bartenders are dialed in ????
Corner location upscale atmosphere tucked in the alley way. Interesting appetizers good sharables. Staff was kind and unorganized we finished the apps before our drinks came. Sticky floor was a added treat.
