The Black Salt

This is one of the most unique and cool bars I have experienced. It has the right vibe and is not gimmicky. You can order a "spell" with your drink, which I did not do, but my friend did. I did get a tarot card and a spell from the machines as I was leaving.Service was beyond amazing. We sat at the bar and Josh was our bartender. He was very personable and extremely knowledgeable. Josh explained the different types of spirits, including their origin and flavor profile, as well as the different cocktails. I got a Permission Granted and a Part and Parcel drink. Both were smooth and well balanced. If you're in the area, I would add this one-of-a-kind bar to your list!

I came here on a whim last Halloween and had a great experience with a friend! We sat at the bar and ordered experience cocktails that came with a spell and cute crystal. The ambiance was very moody and dimly lit, great for smaller parties. You can order a deck of tarot cards or listen to a live dj on some nights. I recently came here again this Halloween and the cocktails and service were just as good. Overall a great little bar! I have had the dreamweaver, permission granted, witching hour, Scorpio astrology and fill the well cocktails - all are great choices.

I just had my first and second visits to The Black Salt on consecutive weekends -- that's how much I liked it the first time!I wasn't sure what to expect re: the witchy vibe (my wife was very into it going in!), but it was honestly great. You can really lean into it and do the spells, or you can just treat it like a regular cocktail bar -- either is very enjoyable.The drinks are really good -- I've tried a bunch but my favorites so far have been the Witching Hour and the Pistachio Coffee Martini. Can't really go wrong here, though, and the pricing is actually good compared to similar level craft cocktail bars.If there's something to nitpick, it's how long it can sometimes take to get drinks. There are no servers coming to the table, so everything is ordered at the bar. Since these are craft cocktails, they take a while to make and that can sometimes crate a traffic jam by the bar. Overall though, that's a small price to pay for a seriously cool witchy cocktail experience!

I went to The Black Salt with some friends for my birthday weekend. I'm a Aquarius so naturally I had to order the Aquarius drink which was pretty good but the drink that I will be back for is the Corpse Reviver #2. They have a variety of options and all of the bartenders were friendly. The menu also had some light food to snack on but don't expect a full meal. The ambiance held up to the theme and I loved all the rock salt lights around the bar. I will definitely be back to try more

The Black Salt was super cool.It's a nice neighborhood bar to stop in before or after dinner.The atmosphere is dark and laid-back.The staff is friendly and accommodating.The website states, "seating is first come," but I had to sit at the bar. I couldn't sit in the more private area because I was told it was reserved. I went in already knowing that I wanted a spell along with my drink.Yeah, it's that kind of spot, a mystical unique witchcraft bar.They offer rituals and spells with select drinks. There are also non-ritual drinks and also non-alcoholic ones.I visited to start my birthday weekend celebration setting intentions for a wonderful personal new year.I couldn't decide if any of the spell drinks aligned with my intentions at first, so I went with a general ritual "Transmission" for love. Doesn't every good thing begin with love?It was tasty, made with bourbon, ginger, grapefruit, and honey.I also ordered a spinach pastry so as not to drink alcohol on an empty stomach. There are a few other items available for noshing.I didn't stay long, I had another engagement.But the bar filled up pretty quickly after opening.It seems like a popular place.I parked on the street at a meter, but strangely enough, the next block didn't seem to have meters. Also, the hostess informed me that the lot across the street is free to park in.Before I left, I walked through to check out the esthetic. I was into it. There's a patio out back, a cool upper level, and an even more cozy space in the back of the house, before one walks out to the patio.I don't know if the space is available for private rental, but it would make for a dope party with different mystical stations, if you will.Do check them out. I would imagine that The Black Salt is going to grow by leaps and bounds.

My friend owed me a drink and has been wanting to take me to The Black Salt, especially since it totally fits my vibes (goth, witchy), so when I came into town, of course we had to pay The Black Salt a visit! Evelynn (hope I'm spelling it right) the bartender is awesome! They were very kind to explain to us how to follow the instructions of casting spells on our cocktails. We drank the Love Ritual and the Prosperity Ritual. They were both lovely to imbibe. Definitely loved this lovely little bar.

Cozy, relaxed (even though busy) friendly... the spells all felt genuine, handwritten, meaningful, not kitschy. I didn't choose by spell I chose by alcohol, but the spell I ended up with felt most appropriate for me. ...then later, the seemingly most 'general' one was Thee MOST delicious drink ever!! We ordered 3. When asked what the nutmeg mix was the bartender laughed, saying, "Ohh no, we make it here!" Definitely recommend. Keep them in business. But don't make it too busy for me to get in!

Tonight was my first experience at Black Salt, and they were honoring Hekate.It was such a beautiful and meaningful evening, and the drinks were beyond superb.The vibe was beautiful, the people I met were incredible, and I can't wait to come back. I am definitely naming The Black Salt my new joint. Thank you for so many reasons you don't even know, for existing and being a safe place for us to be ourselves in public. .Much Love and Always Good Vibes,Amanda

Stumbled upon The Black Salt last night, and wow--what a vibe. The place is like stepping into the coolest, witchiest den you never knew you needed. Everything is black, dramatic, and perfectly curated, giving off that mysterious yet totally inviting energy. Our bartender gave us a great intro to the menu and our options for getting witchy-or not-depending on what we were feeling.I went for the Knot So Tight, a bourbon cocktail with a twist--it doubles as a spell to banish someone from your life. Now, I'm not exactly into magic or witchcraft, but I have to say, there was something pretty fun and oddly calming about performing a mini spell right at the bar. Whether it actually works or not, the drink was delicious, and the whole experience was one for the books. So maybe the magic is working in at least one way--because I already want to go back.

The Black Salt is a must-visit in Detroit. It's a unique and interactive experience for anyone looking to have a good time!
