Be still my (former) neighborhood heart. Catching up - cocktails here are still top notch: top as in they taste great, notch as in they could take you down one with their strength. I rolled back in here right after Christmas and started tasting my way through the menu with the Squash mezcal boi. Normally I would never try a drink with boi in its name, but this name is a part of Kiesling's history, and squash? Come on. I had to try it, and it put me right back in the neighborhood as if I had just walked down across the bridge on Brush for a couple of drinks. (And someone please tell me, am I dreaming, didn't we used to cross on Beaubien, too?) I followed that up with the Kie Rye Pie because I cannot resist rhyming, and I am fascinated with drambuie. I thought the drink might be too sweet and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. I had to close the night out with the Pear Pressure because, alas, there is still no food at the Kiesling, and there was no pop up, and I didn't want eat carryout at the bar. The drink was great, but after three I was feeling the booze and headed across the street for something to eat. This bar is cozy with its wooden interior. It still serves a beer and a shot. And folks are friendly, but not going to get in your business unless you invite them.

This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots to grab a drink and unwind -- whether it's a mid-week break or a weekend night out. Right when you walk in, Dragonfly hits you with that fun, eclectic energy that just makes you want to stay a little longer. The space is stylish yet approachable, with local art on the walls and a laid-back feel that strikes the perfect balance between casual and classy. Now, let's talk drinks -- because this is where Dragonfly really shines. Their cocktail menu is imaginative and well-crafted, featuring inventive seasonal drinks alongside timeless classics. If you love trying something a bit different, this is your playground. They also have thoughtful non-alcoholic options, so even if you're not drinking, you're still getting a serious mocktail experience. The food here -- served from a shared kitchen with some seriously tasty small plates -- is a great complement to the drinks. Everything I've tried has been flavorful and designed to pair beautifully with whatever you're sipping. Service here has mostly been great during my visits, and the staff are friendly and actually excited about the cocktails they serve -- which makes a difference. Whether you're grabbing happy hour early in the evening or making a night of it with friends, Dragonfly delivers a memorable experience that feels distinctly Detroit and totally worth the trip. I'll definitely be back!
