Detroit’s Best Bars | Eater Detroit
"This Eater Award-winning saloon brings a strong cocktail game to the Milwaukee Junction neighborhood. With past lives as a general store, a saloon, and a cop bar, this beautifully restored spot honors its history by maintaining the interior’s immaculate woodwork, exposed brick, and hand-painted mural uncovered during the spot’s renovation. Guests can keep things simple with the bar’s $6 beer and shot special or get creative with a long list of classic cocktails with a twist. Let bar manager, Allison Everitt, who in 2024 was nominated as one of the Best New Bartenders by PUNCH, or a member of her team make you a drink, like the Ordinary Pleasure, described as a vegetal play on a mezcal white negroni, comprised of mezcal, celery root liquor, extra dry vermouth, celery bitters, and saline. During the warmer months, the outdoor patio provides a compact al fresco hideout." - Serena Maria Daniels
