At Coriander, you might do a double take and wonder if you're actually in Detroit. I visited…read morerecently for a special event and was charmed at the location on the water, at the whimsical decor, and the social media-ready presentation of the food. I never knew about the canal district of Detroit, but the vibe feels like a vacation in Florida instead of the middle of the Midwest. Coriander ups that vacation vibe with bright paint, plenty of outdoor seating, and beautiful decor. All of our food tastes so fresh, and I loved the additions of things like edible flowers on the yogurt that we had with our parfaits. Service was appropriately attentive for a large group, and it never felt intrusive into our private event. I'll look forward to coming back sometime soon for another afternoon that feels miles away from everyday life!

I Went around noon on a Saturday and a parking spot was a challenge. I ordered a burger( not shown) it lacked flavor but I made it do. I also had a honey lavender tea that was soooooo good! Pictured is a hibiscus mocktail offered and very refreshing. Give it a try. The menu changes ;) I'm waitress was a delightful treat on a Saturday afternoon she managed the entire bar area with great service. Reservations are encouraged even for bar area.

While I waited for my food I ordered a non-alcoholic drink. I like that non-alcoholic drinks are cheaper than alcoholic drinks. Some places want to charge the same amount for both and that's ridiculous to spend over $12-15 for a drink with no alcohol. Service is so-so. I ordered the Imagine non-alcoholic cocktail. The menu states that it is made of guava, lemon, cherry, dulce de leche. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any guava, lemon, or dulce de leche. It was just a cherry drink. I assumed they didn't have the ingredients to make the cocktail I ordered.

I have been wanting to come to Flyleaf for some time and this Sunday afternoon I had some time to…read morekill. Little did I know that Flyleaf Literature & Libations would be firing on all cylinders. It was a packed house on both floors including a private party in their meeting room on the second floor. One of the workers was kind enough to give me and my Yelp BFF the lay of the land. He shared that Flyleaf was hosting a Boy Band event with great music playing and lots of patrons taking advantage of their Sunday Brunch offerings. It was very festive and standing room only at the moment. They host various theme events every month. Although I have included the menu, their food offerings change too. They had a great book selection. I was impressed that they had four books featured that I recently purchased. I look forward to returning to kick back with a book on their patio with a pastry or two.

Lenny's is awesome! Dive bar feels, pool table, sassy bartender... check, check, check!…read more Built like a local watering hole you would find around old Detroit, Lenny's would be my go to if I lived closer. Great cocktail list, knowledgeable bartenders who can make just about anything, and great happy hour. Plus pool. If they had a cork dartboard I would move in next door. This was just a great experience and 100% stop here whenever I'm in the area.

Lenny's is a new bar on Mack, not far from Apt Disco. It was a bar previously so long-time…read moreresidents will remember that. It's a good mix of dive, craft cocktails, and sports bar. They have TVs for the games and a pool table and darts maybe? Probably... I really like the craft cocktail menu that is mostly classics and around $8 to $10. Citadelle gin is their house gin so they are already tops in my book. I've tried the French 75, Daquari, and Airmail, all delicious. You can definitely get easy drinks like a gin and tonic or rum and coke too. Their house rum is Plantation, another good sign. They do have hard seltzers there but I think it's White Claw and not Topo Chico which seems to be the preferred brand in my demographic. And naturally, a variety of local and mainstream beers across all price points. Check their social media to see what games are playing and who is working the bar and if there are any specials running. They've only been open a couple weeks and it's fast becoming my before and after spot. Cheers!

Rachel Is a Whole Vibe, Even If I'm Not Built for This Place…read more The Old Pony Martini Pub really tried to win me over. Service? Immaculate. Prices? Shockingly reasonable -- like "did they forget to add a zero" And Rachel? Oh, Rachel was out here being fun, cool, hip... basically the human equivalent of a limited‑edition sticker pack. She somehow manages to make you feel both welcomed and mildly judged for your drink choice, which honestly is a talent. But listen -- this place just wasn't for me. Not because of Rachel (she's basically the pub's emotional support bartender), not because of the martinis (which slapped), but because I walked in expecting "old pony" energy. So yeah, 5/5 stars. Would recommend. Will absolutely not be returning. This was a one‑night stand between me and a martini bar, and I'm choosing to ghost.

Prices are super reasonable and the bartender was very pleasant. Four stars because there was a really strong antiseptic smell (which honestly is better than a lot of alternatives), and it was really hard to get served, despite not being super busy.

It was snowing outside the first time I was here so that probably made it seem extra cozy. The bartenders and servers were lovely and fun to chat with. Bartender suggested a wine that I ended up really loving, he brought the bottle back over so I could take a photo of it as my addled brain forgets almost everything. Would definitely be back, very centrally located in GPP and great vibes for meeting friends.
