The Ghost Bar

Excellent drinks! I had The Witching Hour, one of their curated cocktails with vodka, Limoncello, lemon juice and raspberry liqueur, and a sugared rim. So delicious!!!The food is delicious! The best crab cakes I've ever had. The vegetarian flatbread was good too. Excellent and friendly service. Very cool ambiance. Located in the famous Whitney mansion, it's rumored to be haunted. Dark moody decor, and a fabulous pianist in residence.

This bar is located on the 3rd floor of The Whitney.We stopped for a drink (or two) while we waited for our table to be ready. Service was awesome, ambiance was amazing, seats were super comfortable and above all, the drinks were perfect!I had the Old Fashioned and my wife had The Witching Hour cocktail. These tasted soooo good, that we had to have 2 each.Next time we come to The Whitney, we are definitely coming back to The Ghost Bar!

I really used to love this place, but the inconsistent quality of food and cocktails made it a mediocre to disappointing experience. They need a more knowledgeable bar staff to up their game, midtown Detroit is teeming with substantially better establishments with superb cocktails and at much more competitive prices. They are resting on the laurels of being in "The Whitney."

The ghost bar is one of my favorite places to get a cocktail. You can also dine up on the third floor and rooms adjacent to the bar. The menu is different than the Whitney but quite good. The signature cocktails on the menu are delicious so you should definitely try one while you're there. I hear it is haunted, so if you're into that, look around while you are there. I love the decor and the stateliness of the space.

We have been to the Whitney several times. I have enjoyed tea and the tour. I have had dinner, I have been to the garden parties. But this was my first time to the Ghost Bar. Currently, the ghost bar is only open to diners. So if you aren't dining there, you can't just go up and have a drink. We chose to come after dinner. It is a small and elegant space. You definitely wouldn't be able to sit at the bar if it were a busy evening. But we got lucky. They do have a special bar menu and a dinner menu specific to the bar, and a happy hour. So, I assume the change is temporary due to staffing shortages because of covid. I chose a new cocktail called "Dressed to Impress" and he stuck with his usual gin and soda. We enjoyed the ambience. A gentleman came over and played the piano. We chatted with the bartender for a bit and he got a can of their signature beer, The Ghost of Whitney" to go. This was the perfect way to end a perfect evening! Birthday festivities are definitely not over though. We have quite a fun June planned! And an amazing summer!!Of course we will be back!!

I was so excited to go there with my friends. They have never been to the Ghost Bar. I have been many times I called ahead because it was during Christmas time to make sure it was OK to go. I pay for parking and waited for my friends, I was so embarrassed because they would not let us in even though I had called ahead. We ended up going to Wright and Company because we couldn't get in. It was a good experience at the Wright bar but like I said, I called ahead and they promised we would be seated. I pay for parking And they wouldn't let us in. Haven't been there since.

This is a really neat spot for drinks. My friends and I have been at the Whitney for Sunday tea and most recently we returned for drinks at the Ghost Bar on the top floor. Note there is a dress code to be admitted but the ghost bar doesn't require reservations. The drinks were served with impressive presentation. The appetizers were a bit expensive and not great for sharing 4 ways. One came with only 3 servings and then we awkwardly had to decide who gets the short end of the stick and figure out the bill split to be fair as well since it was so expensive. Other than that, the experience was exquisite and I would go back but on a full stomach.

Unimpressed.After many years of having a trip to the Whitney on my bucket list, this experience was lackluster. The Ghost bar is on the 3rd Floor and is rather small, extremely dark and kind of eerie, hence the name I suppose. On a Saturday evening when we arrived at 7:15pm there was only one other bar patron. We snagged a few spots and was "greeted" by a rather sour cranky old bartender. He was not friendly, welcoming or excited to be there. He never engaged us or really spoke to ya at all. I never understand went people in the hospitality industry behave like this.We ordered our drinks and were disappointed to see that at $14 a drink they were premade! Meaning he opened a jar poured them into our martini glasses and viola! If I am paying $14 for a cocktail it better be freshly made and cold, this was neither. There is absolutely nothing about this experience that would make me want to come back. Which is sad because I've always wanted to come to the Whitney for dinner or brunch.

Great drinks and great service! Even was able to experience a few strange things in the women's bathroom. Stopped in for a late drink and got so much more!

Dirty and run down. Sub par drinks and apps. Was a disappointment. I was hoping for a nicer atmosphere and all around experience.
