Cocktail bar upstairs that's a little hidden. You might miss it if you don't see the cocktail sign…read more We tried their Lychee Martini and Bingo Bango both made really well and tasted like great crafted cocktails. My lychee martini was sweet and light with a lychee garnish. Bingo Bango was a spicy yet sweet cocktail. We went up another level to the rooftop as well, but it was closed due to the cold weather. I'm sure it's a beautiful vibe during the summer months. Service was great as well. The bartenders made sure our complimentary glasses of water stayed full and were sure to check on us regularly. I'm sure we'll return one day.

Love roof patios and cocktails. Detroit needs more rooftop bars. Pocket change deliveries…read more Pocket change, cute name, unless you have a big change purse going to require some pocket money. Cocktails are very reasonably priced and on average are about 14 dollars. This place used to be a beer bar now ita cocktails and wine centric. Also has new owners. The patio overlooks Gratiot towards Eastern Market. Considering spring weather has finally arrived. It's 82 degrees and look forward throwing back a cocktail, the Bingo Bango drink (spicy, yum). Bar features real citrus and homemade sugar syrups. Definitely feels like an elevated neighborhood bar that would be great place to hang out with friends. There's a DJ booth for music.

We had almonds and a small cheese plate. The stars or the show are the drinks. Tangie was the hostess and also our server, and she gave us some great recommendations. I ordered the Adult Content, and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. My husband tried Into the River with its complex layers of flavors. Who wouldn't love the atmosphere with the giant disco ball and beautiful chandelier? Candy Bar is a small, intimate place with charm. Next time we're in Detroit, we'll be back!

Bad Luck Bar is exactly the kind of place that makes you feel like you earned your cocktail before…read moreyou even order it. It is tucked away in an alley, and yes, the trash bins may briefly make you question your life choices. But once you spot the glass block window, you know you are in the right place. The second you walk in, the vibe completely changes. You are greeted by a friendly host, then brought into this tiny, dark, cozy little speakeasy that feels like it seats maybe 25 people total, including the bar. It is intimate in the best way, with a gorgeous liquor wall and a rolling ladder that makes the whole room feel dramatic without trying too hard. The drinks are the reason to come. They are creative, unusual, and genuinely unlike what you will find at a standard cocktail bar. Some of the spirit combinations sound like they should not work on paper, but somehow they absolutely do. The mixologists clearly know what they are doing, because every "wait, really?" ingredient pairing seems to turn into something balanced, interesting, and dangerously easy to appreciate. The only things to keep in mind are the size and the pricing. It can get busy quickly because it is so small, and cocktails can run anywhere from around $20 to over $100 depending on what you order. Not exactly a casual "oops, I had three" kind of place unless your wallet has been emotionally prepared. Bad Luck Bar is moody, memorable, and one of the more unique cocktail experiences in Detroit. It feels hidden, thoughtful, and just a little mischievous, which is exactly what a good speakeasy should be.

A HIDDEN gem! It's nestled in an alley, so yes you will question if you are going the right way!…read moreLol Greeted by a host as soon as you enter and fair warning - - it's small and popular. Please make a reservation! Our wait was about 30-40 mins so we walked to another spot to have a drink and wait. It's a cozy lux vibe with an upscale cocktail menu. This is not your normal tequila and soda okay! Know before you go! Visit their website and preview the drink options if you don't have experience with this style of bar. I ordered the Forgotten Blossom because all things lychee has been my thing lately. The drink looks like water but it is not! lol It's strong drink + having aperitif in it. The waiter was attentive and checked in on us consistently. We even received a complimentary shot after being seated and complimentary birthday shots for the birthday folks! I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I will be back real soon!

As soon as you walk in you're greeted by a whimsical atmosphere with dim lighting and thoughtfully curated photos lining the walls. Their cocktail menu offers a great variety of creative handcrafted drinks. We visited near the end of the evening so they were out of a few of their signature cocktails. However I was pleasantly surprised when I challenged the head mixologist to create something refreshing based on a few flavor preferences I shared. He absolutely delivered which ended up being one of my favorite parts of the experience and a great example of their attention to customer service and creativity. I'd definitely return to see what else they have to offer and highly recommend it if you're looking for a uniquely intimate spot with great cocktails and an inviting ambiance.

With this being a speakeasy, they really don't make it easy to find…read more We walked around the block multiple times and finally had to call to get directions. It's literally in a back alley with no signage but a tree on the door. They had a very eclectic cocktail menu and the food menu was amazing. We ordered the crab cakes and were wowed by the flavor!

If you're looking for pure vibes in downtown Detroit, The Skip is the move…read more This spot is such a fun escape -- colorful, open-air, and full of energy. 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 were able to sit at the bar as walk ups. The hostess was so kind. The bartender was also great. We had several cocktails and loved them all. The cheesecake was to die for!
