Detroit’s Best Bars | Eater Detroit

"The Skip in the Belt alleyway gives guests energetic downtown vibes, with a cozy, festival feel no matter the time of year. During the warmer months, the indoor-outdoor spot opens its walls so that guests can spread out with frozen cocktails and catch summer breezes in the outdoor seating area. During the winter, the place closes off the outdoor area but keeps things fun with a variety of tiki-style drinks and usually nostalgia-inducing holiday specials. Want to sit down for a meal? Stop by the Skip’s big sister bar Standby, just a few feet away. The spot recently began a collaboration with celebrity chef Matty Matheson, who designed the menu, and its cocktail offerings are unmatched in the city." - Serena Maria Daniels
