Detroit’s Best Bars | Eater Detroit
"The 2022 Eater Award-winning Ladder 4 operates as a wine bar and a retail wine shop — with more than 200 varieties for sale. But what makes this spot one of the most exciting destinations in town are the culinary creations of chef John Yelinek, who had previously gained a following through his Park Ranger pop-up. Expect a rotation of compelling dishes like scallop crudo, country ham vinaigrette made with locally grown melon, or chicken neck sausage (with the head — beak and all — still attached). The spot also hosts live music events and tastings, which it hosts on its three spacious patios or in its backyard. If Yelinek’s burnt basque cheesecake is available, order it — it’s one of the most show-stopping plates on offer. And for an added indulgence, top it with caviar." - Serena Maria Daniels
