    Back patio was a great vibe!!

    Awesome bar!! Very good vibe and sensational cocktail menu! I can imagine this place gets rowdy on weekend nights, but that's a guess. The bar tender was super nice! Didn't even get impatient with me when I took forever trying to decide on a cocktail. I went with the mule and it was *chefs kiss* delicious! Anyway, yeah, the bartender was just so nice. The kinda that makes me wanna become a regular. If I ever find myself in Hamtramck or even Detroit area again, I'm definitely going here for a drink or ten.

    I can't believe this is my first time at High Dive. What a cool spot to hang out! We walked in and were immediately greeted by the most eccentric bartender, who happens to be the owner. He showed us around pointed out the uniqueness of the decor throughout the place. He explained that Detroit doesn't wake up until 10pm and then the party gets started. lol He referred to High Dive as a Vampire Bar. OMG...hahaaaa I didn't know if we should stay or run! We opted to stay and see what the hype was all about. We ended up meeting some fun people and the DJ was spinning great house music. The craft cocktails were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our night on the town. I can't wait to come back.

    Found this place when I parked by it for a separate event and so glad I did! The bartender was incredibly friendly and the drinks were great. Their menu is clearly thought out and the detroiter in me appreciates the homage to Faygo throughout the menu. I love that they had mocktails featured on their menu.

    Considering the amount of time I ended up spending when it did reopen after the pandemic, I am…read moreshocked that I didn't have an annual review for the Kiesling. Be still my (former) neighborhood heart. Catching up - cocktails here are still top notch: top as in they taste great, notch as in they could take you down one with their strength. I rolled back in here right after Christmas and started tasting my way through the menu with the Squash mezcal boi. Normally I would never try a drink with boi in its name, but this name is a part of Kiesling's history, and squash? Come on. I had to try it, and it put me right back in the neighborhood as if I had just walked down across the bridge on Brush for a couple of drinks. (And someone please tell me, am I dreaming, didn't we used to cross on Beaubien, too?) I followed that up with the Kie Rye Pie because I cannot resist rhyming, and I am fascinated with drambuie. I thought the drink might be too sweet and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. I had to close the night out with the Pear Pressure because, alas, there is still no food at the Kiesling, and there was no pop up, and I didn't want eat carryout at the bar. The drink was great, but after three I was feeling the booze and headed across the street for something to eat. This bar is cozy with its wooden interior. It still serves a beer and a shot. And folks are friendly, but not going to get in your business unless you invite them.

My friend and I were determined to have veggie botanas and a couple cocktails after work. That was a no go. The first server was great. Marcus was attentive and is usually my server when I visit and sit at the bar. No such luck this evening. He was our server until his shift ended. It was his birthday and he should be allowed the evening to celebrate. Then we cashed out and were handed over to the other server, Kristi. We, two women of color, spent almost fifteen to twenty minutes trying to get her attention to take our orders. This should have been a sign that we were not valued, but we soldiered on. As time continued to tick, we found it easier to cut into Marcus's off time to get him to remind our new server that we were still waiting to place orders. She had not even glanced at us. When we finally did get our food, the botana was full of avocado, but not much else. The beans and cheese were very skimpy. And usually, one botana is enough for me to eat for two days. I had dreams of eating my leftovers for lunch at work. Not today. Oddly enough, she seemed well aware of the table full of white gentlemen seated well after us. This was new to us as we've been coming there for years and even rode out the lounge's COVID-era closure. No matter. Our business was not as valuable as others in her section though it was not a particularly busy night on a Wednesday. I ordered a drink and when the server brought it back, she sat it in front of my friend. When she looked again and realized she'd given it to the wrong person, she simply stated your drink is over there and walked away. The appropriate thing to do is to put down the other drinks for the gentlemen that came after us and give me my beverage. I was proudly a server in college. No way would I have done such. Won't happen because, again, I'm all done here. The nail in the coffin was my friend paid with a $50 bill for one small item. She did not receive the proper amount of change and had to drive back to the venue to get her money. No thanks. I think that Detroiters of color need to be respected as much as the new folks who have recently discovered the area. I'll keep my dollars in my handbag if you can't manage to see me.

This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots to grab a drink and unwind -- whether it's a mid-week break or a weekend night out. Right when you walk in, Dragonfly hits you with that fun, eclectic energy that just makes you want to stay a little longer. The space is stylish yet approachable, with local art on the walls and a laid-back feel that strikes the perfect balance between casual and classy. Now, let's talk drinks -- because this is where Dragonfly really shines. Their cocktail menu is imaginative and well-crafted, featuring inventive seasonal drinks alongside timeless classics.

They also have thoughtful non-alcoholic options, so even if you're not drinking, you're still getting a serious mocktail experience. The food here -- served from a shared kitchen with some seriously tasty small plates -- is a great complement to the drinks. Everything I've tried has been flavorful and designed to pair beautifully with whatever you're sipping. Service here has mostly been great during my visits, and the staff are friendly and actually excited about the cocktails they serve -- which makes a difference. Whether you're grabbing happy hour early in the evening or making a night of it with friends, Dragonfly delivers a memorable experience that feels distinctly Detroit and totally worth the trip. I'll definitely be back!
