Detroit’s Best New Bars, Winter 2025 | Eater Detroit
"Downtown’s much-vaunted Book Tower revamp has evolved over the last several years as new restaurant and bar spaces fill out the hotel footprint. One of the most intimate and focused is the basement-level bar, Aladdin Sane, named after David Bowie’s American road trip rock album. The atmospheric and elegant underground space is warm and carefully considered, from the armed bar chairs to the deep booths inviting equally deep conversations. Luxury is the word here: caviar martinis with sake-infused gin, smoked cocktails, and a dazzling list of Scotch and Japanese whiskies. It’s the kind of place that inspires awe and reverence and not a little mystery." - Mickey Lyons
