The shops are cute, but small, so to be able to look around there cannot be too many people inside. At the end is the pop up bar/restaurant. We did not eat anything, just had a couple of drinks. The cocktails are in the $13-14 range and are pretty good. The bar tenders are friendly and dressed for the season. Since our timing was good, we were able to actually enjoy the decor and find seats on the leather couches (where are these stored during the year...?) We had a really nice time and would good again on an afternoon.

This is right on Campus Martius and down from the Ice Skating Rink and Parc. The rent is filled with so much fun, it's huge, roomy and there are tons of board games that you can pay for free.

This again is incredibly Cool, and I am over the moon about what Detroit HAS accomplished in such a short time. Wow! Detroit is ON FIRE in a GOOD way!

The next time I was at the tiger's game on a Friday, I was sure to check out Topa. Topa is located in the AC new hotel. We were directed toward the elevator, asked if we had reservations and they called to ensure we could go up. I would make reservations that's guarantees sitting out in the patio. There was ample modern seating inside along with bar seating. Topa is a catchy name and its modern vibes did not disappoint. They offer craft cocktails, small plates and city views for days! My friend and I tried the Empanadas and the Bacalao Croquettes. First, we wished the empanadas had some meat along with the spinach and cheeses- not bad, a good crisp and the garlic aïoli was powerful flavor forward. The Bacalao Croquettes were delicious with the lemon zest and aïoli- would without a doubt order again. Our craft cocktails had a beautiful presentation and were delicious. The team working Friday were working all in sync to keep things moving smooth and efficient. Our bartender was soft spoken and friendly. I cannot forget, the rooftop is lovely spans across to see the city, looks like there is a set up for a fire pit as the seasons transition.

Alright guys, here we go with another episode of Just Party Life…read more Your girl is in Detroit! This time, we ended up at the rooftop lounge TOPA located at the AC Hotel in downtown Detroit, and when I tell y'all this experience was a 10/10, I mean every bit of it. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was incredible. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel like we belonged there. The food? Amazing. The drinks? Amazing. The atmosphere? Absolutely unmatched. This night was extra special because we were celebrating Whitney's birthday. They brought out her cake, sang with us, and made sure she felt celebrated. Those little touches mean everything. And then, as if the night couldn't get any better, fireworks started lighting up the Detroit sky from a nearby basketball game. Sitting on the rooftop by the fire, surrounded by good people, good conversation, and a city glowing in the background... it felt like a movie. What I love most about experiences like this is how they remind me why Just Party Life exists. It's not just about going out. It's about connection. It's about finding places where you feel welcomed, understood, and free to simply enjoy life. For a few hours, nobody was thinking about diagnoses, pain levels, flare-ups, or medical appointments. We were just people enjoying each other's company. At one point, someone needed a bandage and immediately everyone jumped in with, "We got you, sister." Those are the moments that stay with you. The laughter. The support. The community. The memories. Those are the things that make life worth living. TOPA Rooftop Lounge at AC Hotel Detroit Downtown 10 Eliot St, Detroit, MI 48201 on the 11th floor 10/10 Just Party Life Rating I can't wait until the next time I'm able to experience life with my fellow warriors. Until then, enjoy this recap and remember: joy belongs to us too.

The employees. The place has the tiki vibe but the heart was ripped out when they hired a group of people who don't have that spirit of what tiki is about. To me it represents a way of life focused on kindness, unity, humility, patience, and mutual regard. It felt more exclusionary and lack of kindness almost an irritation to be in the service industry. I do hope great things for the owner in the future because he did have something special there. Wish his vision was seen by the employees.

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.
