Syndicate Ferndale

Great spot. Fantastic cocktails and NA beverages. Get there early on the weekend, not a big spot. Also tried the calamari and would recommend. Will be back!

It was about a 30 minute wait for a party of 4 on a Friday night so not terrible. It's not a large place so a wait is to be expected. Our waiter was very nice, explained and answered all our questions. The BYO burger called out to me and didn't disappoint. I appreciated the toppings being cold on the burger, they were very crisp (nobody likes soggy lettuce). Another cute, quaint space with a variety of drinks and fully loaded bar. I will definitely be returning here. FYI gratuity is already added to the bill.

This place is very small and cozy. The service is friendly. If you're looking for a low vibe place while it's packed. This is the place good food nice drinks. The only downside I would have to say is the kale Caesar salad dressing is very very light. I had the Paloma while my son had a lemonade. My son ordered the prime build it yourself burger with fries. I had the kale Caesar and calamari: both tasty. Must try. Just add a little dressing on the side. Not a very diversified crowd but it's okay.

Syndicate is a sexy quaint spot for a drink. We had dinner with friends there last night. The food was good/fine. I'm a foodie and it just doesn't hit the mark. We had a flatbread, minestrone soup, and calamari. I wouldn't order any of these 3 again. They were fine but not good. However, I'd definitely go back for a cocktail. I love the space. Tell your Tinder date to meet you at Syndicate.

Finally stopped in to the Syndicate! LOVED the ambiance - anything with some mysticism and snakes had me sold. The interior is super modern and the bar is gorgeous. I loved how all the serving staff wore black and gold. The cocktails are truly crafted to perfection and they even give you tips on how to drink some of them for optimal taste! The menu is full of vegetarian options so we opted to split a few things: flight of deviled eggs, the green goddess bagel and a flatbread.Overall we had a great time and I will def be back!

This review is for drink and atmosphere only.Syndicate is a cool space, just off of Woodward, in Ferndale. Good vibes, good drinks, and great service. Music is on the right level. We stopped by after dinner, and got lucky on a perfect summer Saturday evening to get a table on the patio. They have several very fun cocktails, but also offer the basics. The server was good about recommending suggestions.

4.5/5 so I'll round up to 5. This place was pretty cool - my neighbor and I went here today before a show downtown. She had been once previously, and I had never been.They have an extensive cocktail menu - I read here on Yelp beforehand that they tend to do better with the cocktails versus the actual food, but I actually thought both were good. My neighbor ordered an espresso martini and I ordered a mocktail, because I was tired today - it's called the No, Thank You mocktail, and it included a smidge of numbing flower (flower from a numbing pepper) on the side, which was super interesting.We didn't get any appetizers but I had the London broil and my friend had the filet. The London broil came in a mushroom demi-glace sauce and was excellent. The potatoes that it came with also had a nice spice to it, some sort of Mediterranean spice the waitress said, and it came with a fantastic butter with salt on top.The entrees come with your choice of salad or soup; the salad sounded rather standard, so I opted for the Rutabaga & Parsnip soup. I'm not really a fan of soups that aren't really soups ... i.e., more like mush, and that's what this one is. However, it had a sweet taste that I wasn't expecting, and it was interesting; it comes with some bread, which was tasty to dunk in the soup.Although the entree was excellent, the star of the show was definitely the dessert we ordered: Frostbite Brownie sundae, which was cold on top (ice cream) and super warm on bottom (warm brownie), and included bits of peppermint sprinkled on top too.I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that our waitress, Morgan, was also excellent - she was very knowledgeable about the menu and she checked on us frequently, but not an overwhelming amount. She told us that the menu changes every three months, so if you go in the spring it will be a different menu - pretty interesting. They use fresh vegetables and whatnot because of that.I will say this was a smidge pricey but on par with other places I've been in Ferndale - The mocktails were mostly $10 and cocktails started at $14. I'd like to come back and have a few cocktails but because I was tired today I stuck to a mocktail, which still had great presentation.Overall I was very pleased with our dinner here and I will hopefully be back sometime soon.

We stopped in to Syndicate for a cocktail without really knowing much about it. We were so pleasantly surprised! Queer owned, rotating menu, and very modern inside. Our cocktails were delicious. We didn't try food, but everyone else's plates around us looked great. A great place for a date night or drinks with friends!

Went here on a whim with my husband. Love that it's female owned and operated, all the artwork is also done by female artists. We were seated outside on the patio as it was a beautiful afternoon. We ordered a few items off the menu and everything was really good. Our server was lovely and took the time to explain the menu and cocktails. Cocktail menu is pretty extensive which is nice and their menu is seasonal so it changes often. We were there just as the spring menu was ending. Overall a very cute place to have dinner and drinks either with friends or for a date night. We will definitely be back to try the summer menu!

Disappointed because we weren't sure about drinks and we asked our waitress to make a better decision while they have a rose drink that basically taste pretty foul like feet It's what I would imagine if you were tasting your feet and smelling it. Well, the thing is there is no refunds on any drinks and the waitress never even told us. And then on top of that they add gratuity so be aware of that. thought that was pretty shady, but the vibe is pretty cool. I would've liked to eat in there. The food looks good.
