Motor City Wine

I really enjoyed this cute spot. They have live music and an area to dance. I cam here for a celebration for my friend and the service here was super nice and helpful. I will say they didn't have many food options, just charcuterie options, meats, and cheeses. They did mentioned they usually have a food vendor on Sundays but the Sunday I went they were not there. Overall the wine tasted great- I ended up getting a bottle of champagne for the table which was fairly priced. I will definitely be coming back!

I don't understand the hype or positive reviews--this space isn't friendly at all. I'm visiting from California and had a disappointing experience. I was curious about a wine one of the bartenders was drinking, and while he mentioned the name, he didn't offer any suggestions or elaborate further. His response was rude and dismissive, leaving me feeling unwelcome.The building itself also left much to be desired--it's old and seems poorly maintained, with visible leaks in the ceiling. It doesn't appear to meet acceptable standards. It's disheartening enough to witness the effects of gentrification in Detroit, but to experience such poor treatment as a Black man from another Black man? That was deeply disappointing.I've traveled the world and never encountered rudeness like this. If you're Black, I'd recommend avoiding this place. Save your money and support other establishments that truly appreciate your presence. Thankfully, I'm flying back to sunny California soon, leaving this unpleasant experience behind.What makes matters worse is the sheer number of negative comments this 'hole in the wall' has received over the years and without any response from them, which shows they don't care. It seems they rely on people having no other choice but to keep going there for some strange reason. I don't believe this is the only place where people can enjoy a nice atmosphere reasonably priced wines ,especially when better customer service exists elsewhere. My guess is that people in Detroit and the surrounding areas don't have many other options. Thankfully, in California, customer service and word of mouth actually matter! I'm so glad I moved away--staying Detroit would've felt hopeless and miserable and settling for nothing better!

A cozy dimly-lit place for a glass of wine and some good jazz. My best friend took me here after dinner recently. We saw some great local jazz and a bunch of queers on cute dates. A great blend of folks all having a great time. The staff was friendly. It's just challenging if you don't want to stand the whole time - seats are limited. There is a large outdoor space that is probably awesome in the summer.

A cozy lounge with a nice patio. It's small inside but the patio is large and spacious. They often have live music and charge a reasonable cover. They live up to their name and have lots of wine choices. I'm not a wine drinker, but they have a couple beer choices. Staff are friendly. A nice spot for a night out.

I love the patio. It's a nice place to relax after work because it's not as busy as later in the evening. I didn't see any food offerings, but there was a taco food truck in the parking lot, so bringing food and eating it on the patio with your wine seems possible. The wine is pricey, but luckily, I wasn't picking up the tab. I enjoyed and recommend the chilled dry wine for $14. It wasn't in a wine glass, though, more of a whiskey glass that was partially filled, so I didn't think the amount justified the price. I see on the website that there is live jazz on Friday and Saturday nights from 8 to 11 pm.

Excellent service, cool vibes, and delicious wines! What more can you ask for? Easy to find onMichigan Avenue in Corktown. There is a bar and another room for seating. Very clean and the layout is spacious. I'll be back.

Experienced Motor City Wines for an event outdoors and it was as a time! Service was great and ambiance was fun!

MCW is a great summer destination owing to its great patio, which also hosts a range of live DJs and music. It's also a cozy spot in the winter, whether you're looking for date night, catching up with an old friend, or a small group. They're also one of very few places in the city where you can actually buy a really good selection of bottles of wine that isn't a grocery store or a gross liquor store (I'm not sure there are many liquor stores in the city of Detroit that aren't fundamentally gross). The parking lot is kinda gross and annoying but everything in Detroit must have a giant parking lot because how else could we possibly get to our preferred drinking establishments except by driving a car?

Hard to write a fair review after a negative experience. Hence, three stars. After a few drinks, needed a glass of water. Bar staff were indeed quite busy and seem short staffed. I was told no instead of be with you in a moment. Hospitality exchanges like this really are disappointing. Water containers on the counter, but no glasses defeat the point of self service.

We love Motor City Wine! There is always some good live music playing. Whether it's a DJ on the turntables or a three piece band, you can always count on jamming out while enjoying your glass (or bottle) of wine! The ambiance is cozy & inviting. The patrons are friendly & people sit in cafeteria style out on the patio. There is an inside area which I have never sat. :) The patio is where it's at!Motor City Wine is located on Michigan Avenue in Corktown close to Rosa Parks. There is security in the parking lot.
