Artisan cocktails, bar snacks & intimate speakeasy vibe
"One of the Shinola Hotel’s bars, and certainly the hardest to find, can be accessed from Parker’s Alley by those who look for the door with the eyes drawn on it. Intimate and warm with amber tones, Evening Bar offers beer, wine, cocktails, and bar snacks. Drinks include nonalcoholic cocktails like the Faux Daisy and No-Groni, or higher octane combinations like the Apricot Fizz and the Fresh Prince, a bell-pepper-infused tequila with herbal and botanical liqueurs and spicy bitters. Reservations can be made online, but it’s a hotel so feel free to drop in." - Mickey Lyons
"A boutique-hotel bar with a refined speakeasy vibe, known for seasonal craft cocktails and an intimate, stylish setting recommended for a nightcap or pre-dinner drink." - AFAR
"A dimly lit, windowless drinks parlor with sleek, almost spartan decor that channels early-20th-century low-key elegance, this intimate spot serves seasonally inspired cocktails made with artisanal spirits. The winter-ready Evil Twin (reposado tequila with Branca Menta, coffee, and cinnamon) exemplifies the modern menu, which is complemented by creative bar snacks like coconut curry cashews and a blue crab tostada; expect waits on weekend nights since the space is small and reservations aren’t taken." - Brad Japhe
"Blink and you might miss out. The Shinola property tucked away on Parker’s Alley also known as Evening Bar is, until mid-April, now home to a colorful tiki pop-up helmed by New York professional Darryl Chan. Ever wanted to sip a combination of Scotch, absinthe, rum, and cinnamon out of a WD-40 can? Now’s your chance. If not, there are 20 or so other new spins on classic tiki drinks, with automotive history serving as the inspiration. The Piston Rod Sling is a take on the Singapore sling with sorrel-infused gin and Michigan cherries." - Mickey Lyons
"An upscale, secluded basement lounge accessed via a discreet alley door that serves classic cocktails alongside a thoughtfully crafted list of nonalcoholic and lower-alcohol options, designed for intimate evenings without the next-day penalty." - Serena Maria Daniels
