    Allll the Gin!
    Amy W.

    This has been on our list for months! We finally got to experience it and it did not disappoint! The speakeasy is located inside a party store. You have to find the hidden door. They will not help you. Once you find it you are transported into a whole different world! You have to experience it for yourself to understand. They have an amazing selection of liquor and the bartender was so incredibly knowledgeable! We had a terrific time and will definitely be back!!!

    Probably only a 1 time only experience. Mystique of finding the speak easy is half the fun. Reservations needed. A small craft cocktail bar, music - not too loud to carry on conversation. Drinks,good - bit pricey. Great decor! Service was good.

    Notice how cherry has a spot in this ice, thanks Scott! (At least I think that is his name, the guy who makes ice for them in Ann Arbor)

    Good cocktails, seating at bar and some tables. Friendly bartender that is very busy. Think of your wildest bourbon, scotch, alcohol fantasy to taste! Had a smoked old fashioned and it was tasty. Recommended "black" cocktail was a bit sharper than expected. My companion was happily sipping on an ardbegh that had been elusive... nice visit! Make sure you know when Michigan became a state!

    What a cool place! We had such an amazing experience and will definitely be back! Make sure you make a reservation, it fills up fast!

    Wanting to try something a little different ?! Well this is your chance. You enter through a secret back door where you will need a special code to enter. You enter into a beautifully decorated bar where you are greeted ( grown folks only)! There are house signature drinks and old favorites! Very laid back and quaint. This is a must try , at least once!

    Great spot! Came in on a special event and it was PACKED!…read more Everyone was so attentive and kind despite being over ran by drunken detroiters suffering from the winter blues. It is the first warm day in months and between the sunshine, the booze, and the music everyone was just vibing! Such a cool spot with great food trucks and speciality drinks. I want to come back when it's not slammed and take it all in

    Outstanding distillery tour! The tour experience which include a well made tasty welcome cocktail…read moreis followed by a fairly in depth walking tour through the distillery followed by a fairly wide open and long tasting of all the spirits made at this facility. The tour is quite educational and fun and starts with the history of building and the story of six childhood friends who decide to start a distillery as adults, almost upon a whim, during a get together. American dream is alive and well folks! As part of this tour you will see the full process From the mash bill, to fermentation, through the distillation process, barrel storing/aging and finally end up in the bottling station. A full in depth explanation of how to make Bourbon from start to finish is given during this tour that I found truly fascinating and quite educational where I was quite impressed how they accomplish all this in a fairly small footprint. Tour aside, Detroit distillery makes some seriously good Bourbon, Vodka and Gin. They currently have 1500 barrels in Storage with an ever increasing distribution which speaks volumes on how well this small distillery is being received by the public and the quality of their liquor products. Overall if you are into Bourbon and have ever wanted to learn first hand how it is made and having the fun of a tasting integrated into the experience, THIS IS A CAN'T MISS tour you should actually do. And at roughly a $20 cost this is a great value on top of everything else. Five stars in my book all day long!
