My favorite bar in Detroit . Next to Sloe's in Corktown. Cool and relaxed setting, competent bartenders , high quality drinks. I personally loved the blue blazer and the smoke infused cocktails .

Jason

If you are able, ask for a seat at the bar . You get your drinks much quicker than if you sat at a table. As a bonus, you get to see the bartenders make all of the drinks up close and personal.

Eater

Its star spirit is rum and its cocktails are self-described as “traditional drinks of the Caribbean islands , classic libations of Prohibition-era Havana and exotic cocktails from legendary tiki bars ." Read more

Kerri Michelle

Anything whiskey . Just tell the man what you like and let him work his magic. Add egg . Frothy goodness never tasted, or felt, so good. Hands down, very best craft cocktails in Detroit.

Ashley Venturini

One of my favorite bars in detroit , I never know what to order so I just ask the mixologists to recommend something based on my tastes and they haven't failed me yet!

Sofía Syntaxx

Nick is amazing at his craft. His take on a traditional whiskey sour is out of this world! They take mixing to a new level here. Not only are the drinks visually appealing but they're strong too!

laura kovick

I have never had a drink I didn't love here! My best tip is to share a punch bowl with friends; you won't regret it, though you may not remember much!

Bobbi Foster

Nice place to visit for a cocktail . The bar staff is very knowledgeable about spirits and can guide you toward a drink you'll love.

Brittney Campbell

Juliet and Romeo. Off the menu and incredibly delicious!

Jason

The Stay Puff Marshmallow is served as a shot and is the only one on the menu. Its small but packs one hell of a punch. Not for the faint of heart!

Ian Russell

What a classic place to sit back and enjoy a fine bourbon or scotch !! The service was amazing!!!

Lisa Zarzycki

Absolutely wonderful! On the advice of a friend, we brought colleagues from Mexico here. We had a blast! Highly recommend!

Readiness K

Great bar but groups of 4-5 are really the max the place can accommodate. If you have a huge crew, this isn't the spot.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

FANTASTIC cocktails , vibe, decor!!! Love this stretch of corktown.

Kirsten Alana

Great seasonal menu but of four different drinks, my favorite was the Queen's Park Swizzle which is on the permanent menu!

Zahrah Fadel

99 options but try the classics. My Mai Tai was delicious.

Arminda Klier

If you like whiskey , the taste of hickory smoke, and a touch of theater , I whole-heartily recommend the Smokey Old Fashioned .

S S

Must order the Skeleton Key cocktail . Bourbon base cocktail you will not regret!

Victoria Nguyen

Amazing cocktail bar in Corktown district of Detroit. They are meticulous about ingredients in every drink.

Chase Ansok

The white truffle popcorn is the "Best Snack in a Classic Cocktail Bar"

Joy Santiago

Awesome place. Anything on the menu is their original recipie and isn't a drink you can get anywhere else. Oh- and they know their stuff!

Andrew Menges

If you want a show with your drink get the EFK, formerly known as The Man Who Knew Too Little. Hickory smoked bourbon .

AskMen

You’ll love the drinks & you’ll love the attention & effort put into each concoction & come to respect the knowledge of those building them Read more

Erynn Pannell

Superb cocktails and a pretty ambiance with a 1920's Speakeasy feel. The drinks are kinda pricey but potent.

Chow Down Detroit

Get the truffle oil popcorn and the peanuts . Cheap and tasty.

Dylan Boyd

Allow the mixologists to create something. Suggest a flavor or liquor and let them go.

Thrillist

The blend of tequila , Cointreau , ginger , lemon & cassis known as the El Diablo will certainly make you feel like dancing with the devil. Read more

Maggie MacG

They can make any cocktail for you. Any cocktail . The bee’s knees is very good.

cnelson ︻╦╤─

Order a French 75 and a cheese plate .

Stephen Harlan

The menu changes , but it doesn't matter. Sit at the bar and enjoy one of the best hand-crafted cocktails you'll find. Cheers!

Must visit Detroit spot. Super nice bar . Great drink options.

Alyssa Goch

Absolutely love the Celebrations in the Sky, Waxed Apple, and Imperial Flip (bonus: made with Detroit Anthology Coffee )

Jason

Try an Amaretto Sour with egg white ... Delicious!

GQ Magazine

Detroit's answer to the craft cocktail movement. Try the 'Where There's Smoke.'

Akshay Patil

Expertly executed cocktails , including some excellent flips and fizzes.

Readiness K

Fantastic cocktail bar - talk to your server and try something new

Dig Downtown

Get the pickled carrots to clean your palette. A refreshing hint of crunch and spice.

Superb cocktail menu . Cozy and easy going atmosphere.

Brandi Davie

We can't think of anything else. This is an establishment that makes you feel incredible.

Jason Lambert

Smoked bourbon is amazing.

Johnny Lee Jenkins Jr.

Holding back final judgement. Was excited for first visit only to find we had to sign up for a waiting list. Even though there before midnight, never got the call back for open spot for 4. Suspect.

Alyssa Goch

Banana 's Hammock or Room Key. Get it.

Drew W

Great place to grab a drink. But be warned, they won't serve you without a seat.

Kim C.

The selection rotates but you can't go wrong. Potent concoctions perfect for sippin' slow over lingering conversation.

Joe Ro

Bring a flashlight to read the menu ;). But it's such a cute , cozy and rustic place!

Jade Delaine

Speak - easy style atmosphere with excellent mixologists .

Jocelyne Ninneman

Ask Brandon for his specialty spicey ginger-orange Sazerac . If ur not a light- weight, and like REAL dranks. :)

David Leszcynski
