    How it's written
    Dorian J.

    I'm not one to complain. I'm a quiet and easy going person, however my most recent experience (10/14) at this establishment was regrettably distasteful. I won't bash this establishment, because it is very lively and the food is good. Although the communication could have been a lot better. If reservations were made after 11pm, and any patrons that arrive prior to 11pm had to leave by that time. We as consumer should've have known that walking in the door. We should not have been told we had until 11pm, but have management tell us something different 20min later. Further, in my opinion, harassed every five minutes following. I feel like we should've been notified that we as soon as we arrived as a courtesy to the patron. Because it really appeared as if this establishment took our money and then kicked us out! My first time at Love and Tequila Detroit, I thought was amazing. However this second visit has left a very bad taste in my mouth. Especially since I hyped this place up to my sisters. And their experience was ruined due to lack communication and professionalism. For future reference, simple communication and transparency can take you a long way! Just do better. Or if you find communication as confrontational, if there was something making reference on the company website that would save you a lot of miscommunication or lack there of.

    Went during the grand opening and it was super fun! If you're looking for a Latin night this is definitely your spot! The music was amazing and the drinks were delicious. I got the frozen skull and it was very good. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive and made sure to check if I needed anything. Tequila, good music, and cerveza = a good time!

    Spicy watermelon margarita
    Autumnn G.

    Went here for cinco de Mayo had the spicy watermelon margarita and it was so good. Very spicy the watermelon was very subtle and the glass very cute and on theme. Friends ordered the passion fruit margarita and the mystic marvel . Mystic marvel was supposed to come with a glitter bomb but we didn't see any glitter and my friend was quite disappointed about that. I had the shrimp tacos they were phenomenal, the elote crema sauce was the perfect accompaniment to them. My girl had the birria tacos and we swapped one taco each, the shell was soooo crispy and perfect on the birria taco and the meat was seasoned very well. Service was not good at all. It's understandable that a Mexican and tequila restaurant would be super crowded on Cinco de Mayo but it's seems management there was clueless this would occur. The bar is huge and they only had two bartenders who appeared to be very overwhelmed by the crowd. One bartender was servicing only one small area of the bar and it was to the point I wondered if they were her friends because she was SUPER attentive to them while ignoring everybody else. We only were able to order food after sitting for about 30 minutes and asking a guy behind the bar (not sure what his role was but he was adamant he wasn't a bartender) to flag down one of the bartenders. The people next to us waited about 30-40 minutes trying to order their first drink in vain and eventually gave up and left. Also the bartender who made our drinks had a bad habit of making the drink, serving it to us and then at that moment telling us she was out of ingredients essential to the drink and "is that ok". She made us lemon drops and only after she gave them to us did she state she didn't have simple syrup...which is pretty essential; not sure what sweetener she did have but the drinks ended up being ok. Also when we ordered our first round of lemon drops we forget to specify the martini and she didn't ask so we ended up with lemon drop shots. So the next round we specified lemon drop martinis and after she made and presented them to us is when she said she was out of martini glasses and was that ok. It really wasn't because she gave them to us in the same kind of glass our shots were in and, to us, it only looked like a little more was in the glass. We expressed our concerns with her and she became argumentative with my friend to the point we had to end the conversation because it was getting heated.

    Birria Tacos and Passionfruit Margarita
    Lindsey A.

    Went here with a couple of friends randomly for a night out. We had such a good time! There was a live DJ when we were there, and the music was really good. It's more of a place for a younger crowd looking to have a good time. They had a special on drinks so we got some, and they were very good and looked cute! Our server was also really nice. We also all got birria tacos and those were also so delicious! This is a really cool spot to go for a night out or before a concert/event! Great time!

    The birria tacos are a must-order, the fried lobster skewers are next level, and the Henny lamb chops are absolutely elite.

The music hits, the crowd is always lively, and it just feels like summer no matter what time of year it is. Whether you're stopping by before hitting another spot or making it your main destination for the night, The Skip always delivers. Now let's talk drinks -- because they do not play around. The Long Islands are ON POINT. Strong, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Not watered down, not overly sweet -- just right. You definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth, and they're dangerously easy to sip. I love the overall vibe here. It's social, upbeat, and perfect for hanging with friends. If you want good music, great drinks, and a guaranteed good time, The Skip should absolutely be on your list. This is one of those places you go once... and then it becomes part of your regular rotation.

We made reservations in a weekend but it wasn't necessary at 5. What I didn't know what this theme is a pop up much like Miracle Bar around Christmas. The mugs are not really made for The Skip and can be found online for less. Most importantly is the drinks are not good. They're not spirit forward, they're full of mixers. Such a bummer because they do make good cocktails occasionally. We were one and done this evening due to the bad drinks and loads of people who brought their kids to this bar. The decor is great. Service is attentive and friendly. Not in a rush to return.

It's sleek, intimate, and effortlessly cool without feeling pretentious. The lighting, the music, the overall aesthetic -- everything feels intentional. It's the kind of place that works just as well for date night as it does for a night out with friends. Now let's talk about the drinks -- because that's where Standby really shines. The cocktails are creative, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced. You can tell there's serious thought behind every ingredient. Whether you're into something bold and spirit-forward or smooth and refreshing, they nail it. The food matches the energy of the bar. Every dish feels curated, flavorful, and plated with care. It's not just "bar food" -- it's thoughtfully crafted and pairs perfectly with whatever you're sipping. Service has always been attentive and knowledgeable. The staff knows the menu inside and out and makes great recommendations without making you feel rushed. Standby is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem even though everyone knows about it. If you want craft cocktails, elevated bites, and a true downtown Detroit vibe, this is your spot. I'll definitely be back.

We were definitely a little uncertain walking down a dumpster-filled alley, but once we stepped inside we were pleasantly surprised at how elegant, well-designed, and beautiful the interior was. We went around 6PM on a Thursday before a Red Wings game, and while there were 2-3 people seated at the bar, we were the only ones seated at a table. Service was attentive and quick. They served us a complimentary warm dark rum honey tea to start, and honestly I should have ordered a whole cup! It was delicious and unique, and I hope I can find something like it again. I would order it in a heartbeat. The drinks themselves were a little on the pricey end and since I wasn't in the mood for drinking a lot, I didn't end up ordering anything, but my boyfriend got The Hammer. Unfortunately he didn't realize it would be smoked and doesn't love the flavor of butane, but the presentation of the drink and the smoked spiced cashews that came with them were excellent! If it weren't for the butane flavor (which he believes not many others taste), my boyfriend would have really enjoyed his drink. I think it's definitely worth a visit for the ambiance and welcome drink alone, but be prepared to spend a little!

I took one look at the menu and cocktail list, and determed that we would be going somewhere else to eat afterwards, thinking, "this won't be a long visit at all." But oh was I pleasantly surprised. First round of cocktails set the tone and gave us the courage to go ahead and try some of the plates. We decided on the shrimp, pork belly and gorgonzola cheese ones. Absolutely delicious. So then we decided on round two of cocktails the plate of chips, avocado toast and another round of pork belly! Again, divine. Although I will admit, everything got dipped into the pork belly sauce. Was tempted to do a round three to try the highly recommended lobster rolls but decided to save something for the next visit because there will be one. They executed all the small plates exceptionally well. And the cocktails were top quality! Only complaint was the seats are very low to the ground. I'm short and my legs were aching. I can only imagine how uncomfortable those with normal legs feel after dining. BTW my daughter and her friends had a wonderful birthday celebration but ended up leaving us adults there because we were having such a good time!
