Cøllect Beer Bar is an intimate rooftop haven in Eastern Market, serving up 14 drafts and creative brews alongside a chill vibe and stunning sunset views.
"Now situated on the east side of Detroit, Cøllect Beer Bar sits within an arts hub developed by the folks behind the Library Street Collective and features a lineup of nine beers on tap, a selection of wine, ciders, non-alcoholic beverages, and pours of Four Roses bourbon. In addition to offering beer on tap, the bar also offers Gatorade on draft. With a basketball hoop placed in the center of space, visitors can shoot some hoops, while sipping beers, and then have access to much-needed electrolytes." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Cøllect has a laid-back rooftop patio above Bunny Bunny on Gratiot Avenue. The deck is filled with picnic tables, making it a nice, casual spot to watch the sunset while sipping one of the beer bar’s nine rotating drafts or enjoying a glass of wine." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Much like that friend of yours who randomly got really into Scandinavian design, Gather keeps things very minimal. It’s a small restaurant at Eastern Market with a short menu, four long communal tables, and almost no decorations to speak of. Also like that same friend, there isn’t much rhyme or reason to the food here, but everything from the roasted root vegetables to the smoked chicken nachos and gnocchi is really good. Come here with a small group to split some plates and have a few boozy slushies." - sara barron, sam faye
"Cøllect Beer Bar will hold its rooftop Oktoberfest party on Sept. 30, featuring a large selection of German-style beers on draft, by the bottle, and can. Bunny Bunny will be coordinating a German menu special for the event." - Courtney Burk
"The beer bar on Gratiot serves up good times and good beers with rooftop views of Eastern Market. Outside food is always welcome, and local pop-ups reside within the space or take over the first floor. The schedule is updated via Instagram, and Monday hours are 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. And for those in hospitality, Mondays at Cøllect include a great service industry discount." - Courtney Burk
