New Metro Detroit Restaurant and Bar Openings, April 2025 | Eater Detroit

"Opened on Detroit’s 313 Day, this neighborhood bar sits in an ivy-covered red-brick building on Forest at Second with a sprawling wraparound patio and a retractable garage-door window that opens to outdoor seating. The roomy layout includes indoor seating for about 80, a long bar, two-top tables, and a lounge with a fireplace; the beverage program from Kamalani Overall leans into nostalgic cocktails, boozy slushies, and playful Detroit riffs like a Hummer milkshake alongside nonalcoholic options. The food menu emphasizes classic bar fare done well—an impressive two-patty bar burger using a house blend and Martin’s potato rolls—and standout chicken wings that are brined 24 hours, dry-cured 24 hours, smoked for two hours, then fried to finish." - Serena Maria Daniels
