"For those who want to sip a glittery purple cocktail at one of Ferndale’s largest (dog-friendly) patios, the Syndicate is a must-visit. The bar and restaurant opened in 2023 in a nondescript concrete building on Vester Street just off of Nine Mile. Snacks and salads are served alongside imaginative drinks like the Violet Stratosphere, the aforementioned purple drink with butterfly pea-infused gin, creme de violette, and gold Electricdust edible glitter." - Mickey Lyons
