Evening Bar

Evening bar was a great place to start a night out in Detroit, but it would be an ideal spot for a nightcap as well. Located in the Shinola hotel, it's easy to miss when you look for it, and has a cozy speakeasy vibe once you're there. We chose our own table and were promptly greeted by a server who appeared through a sliding panel in the wall that opened up. We briefly perused the menu before choosing drinks that sounded tasty. I went with the Bird and Bee, and it was flavorful without being overpowering. Bonus points for being served in an elegant glass!

So I found this on a whim and I was not unhappy in my decision. This is a speakeasy type of establishment. It's very dark and dim so it could be intimate so it's not for a turn up type of situation. So now, you have to find street parking because there isn't necessarily free parking downtown Detroit, but we know that. Get out of the car, there's a number place you can walk around. If you seen our reviews before, you know that I like speakeasies and hidden bars so this definitely fit the bill. You come in and it's dark like I said, but it's also pretty beautiful. They have neon lights and couches for seating as well as the bar top. I went with family and I ordered a couple Irish espresso martinis, they came out pretty decent. The bartender actually got to talk to us a little bit. So I appreciated the customer service as well. Overall, this will be a nice little duck off. If you want to find something that's a little more quiet around the city of Detroit. When I go back home I would definitely go back. I feel like we only sat at the bar and got a couple of drinks so I didn't really get to full experience as far as sitting down in the couch and lounge area and kicking back. But I did enjoy my time there.

Ordered a lemondrop and they did not disappoint. We didn't have reservations but were sat at the bar right away. The drink menu was impressive, kinda expensive but my drink was worth every penny.

Love the vibe here! Dimly lit and nice sexy mood. Stumbled upon the bar randomly while I was trying to find another place. Located inside the Shinola hotel. Cocktails were really good and strong. The staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend if you are looking for an intimate and chill type of night. I did not have a reservation so I sat at the bar.

I love evening bar, it's a true gem! The bar staff is always so personable and the amazing host always ensures we're accommodated, even when I forget to reserve ahead. Living downtown, I've been coming since this place opened, and bring all my friends from near and far because the vibe never disappoints.Menu changes, and the cocktails are literally the best in the city, even when they freestyle a mix for me. For bites, I love the fries and lobster rolls.I just visited on Friday 10/27 and want to shoutout the entire staff! We sat at the bar and were served great cocktails, music, and laughs. You all made for the perfect end to the evening for my family and I! We'll be back soon!

I love this place so much. It's like a hidden gem in the cut downtown! The vibes, the music, the ambiance, the people, the drinks, the bites. You absolutely cannot go wrong here--it's perfect for a date night or a night out with your friends. One of the best espresso martinis I've had thus far in the city. Thanks for amazing service and good time per usual.

Stopped by last night with two other couples. Drinks were excellent. Two of our party had the NA Strawberry Soda and loved it!

The service is just fallen off at all of Shinola, front desk is great, but any food or drink service the people could care less that you're there, including this speakeasy. Felt uncomfortable to be there the whole time.

I typically love this bar, love the high end speakeasy feel. It normally has such a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, They recently turned the beautiful bar into a tiki bar with a straw tiki hut and fake greenery and string light hanging from the ceiling. Totally ruins the feel of the place. It was great before why would they change it even if it is only for a few months. Will not be returning until April when they take it all down.

Came here the Saturday before Christmas. They had three (3) open seats at the bar yet we were turned away. Won't try this place ever again.
