However, the tastings are in small groups of about 8 people at a time so you can hear the wine descriptions and interact with the group easily. I ran into a college classmate that I haven't seen in 8 years because we were both running our mouths about how we liked the wine we were tasting. I wasn't a fan of the wines we tasted but I loved the Chardonnay I purchased as we sat around and talked. Conner was a great server and gave excellent recommendations. There are plenty of seating options, including a few couches upstairs. I will be back just to enjoy the atmosphere and have a glass or 2 of the Chardonnay.

DO NOT waste your money here!!…read more Service: We waited 20 min after we sat down before the waitress (Bev) came and took our orders. She didn't bother introducing herself, I looked up her name after I got the bill. We waited for 40 min for 2 apps and 2 pizzas. She only came by to drop off the food and drop off the bill at the end. I guess good help is hard to find. Food: The beef tips did not taste fresh. The chips and the tuna were stale and slimy. The pizzas were sub par. Atmosphere: The atmosphere changed from intimate to industrial. It was too bright and too loud. The chairs are designed for you to be uncomfortable. It used to be good, but not anymore.

The bartenders do a phenomenal job with crafting the best libations. The food menu is tiny but mighty. Please check out the smoked salmon grilled cheese. So delish! The owner has a warm welcoming personality and the staff offers exemplary customer service. The decor is quaint and chic with lots of show stopping art on the wall. There are beautiful large windows which provide lots of light and also opportunities to people watch. It's located in a beautiful area of the city with apartment homes, condos, and trendy businesses surrounding. This Black woman owned business deserves all the shine!

A nice spot if you are out on the town and definitely prior to enjoying a show or other events in the area. A hidden GEM!

The building tickled my history nerd bones and has cozy seating both indoors and outdoors. I didn't visit the bathrooms (can't break the seal!), but apparently they're really cool too. Everyone we interacted with was sweet, fun, and very attentive to our dining experience. Our server Chelsea was very knowledgeable of the wine & food menus and thoughtful in her recommendations to ensure we were all satisfied with the meal. My wine snob uncle left impressed and my vegan mom left full carrying leftovers. The food is shareable and there was plenty to go around at our table of five. The veggies were fresh, the meats were tender, the desserts were naughty but delightful. No notes. Would definitely recommend this place for a date night, a girl's night, or any night you're in the mood for good wine, good food, and good times.

If you could not tell by their name, this is an old Detroit Fire house, located back in a residential/ industrial like area. As you drive to it, you might think, you're lost or going the wrong way....keep going a pleasant surprise awaits your arrival. The interior design and renovations are really, really impressive and pay homage to the years of service as a firehouse, while creating a new vibrant, cozy atmosphere for diners to enjoy. This is a wine bar, no cocktails. And, you will not find any mass produced wines on their extensive list of options. Most all of the wines they offer are estate bottled, French style wines where growers control everything from the planting of the grapes to the bottle. It's an education, and one their staff seems so well versed on, helping you find something you will enjoy. they allowed us to sample a couple before ending on a really good Rose. We ordered a number of small plates which included: Sourdough with beillevaire butter, a generous portion of bread, served warm, soft inside, crunchy outside and the butter was the best tasting butter we have ever had! We also had the shrimp cocktail with horseradish sauce, 6 nice sized shrimp, firm, cold, fresh and very flavorful. Lastly whet they called a "tiny salad" it's basically a Caesar. This was also amazing with breadcrumbs mixed into the dressing, so flavorful. We would do all of these dishes over again. No Meal is complete without dessert; we chose the burnt basque cheesecake with Pedro ximenex sherry. This hands down is the best cheesecake we have ever had, and we love cheesecake. Our server was very cordial, helpful and so knowledgeable not just educating us about their wine selections, but also about their sourcing and philosophy on food. So glad we had the experience. We will definitely be back again.

Each course was imaginative and novel. I thought the flavors were amazing. The Caponata was amazing. When the server explained the course, I had no idea what it was going to taste like? It was so good. The other standout for me was the Tiramisu. I have never had a tiramisu like this one. Each course is on the small side, which I like. The restaurant is small. There is a bar area (maybe 10 people?) and a few tables. It is super cute and intimate. We were easily able to talk. Great service. Our server was attentive. She explained each course and was able to answer questions. This ranks near the top of my dining experiences. This is much more of an adventure. Probably not for the chicken-tendy crowd. Not inexpensive. I can't wait to eat here again.

There was a 2 top table at the back that we were seated at - we could have sat at the bar also - and it was a great spot. We ordered the tasting menu and WOW, every course was amazing. I'll post pics because the presentation was gorgeous for each item. They have a small cocktail and wine and beer selection, but that was fine. My son got their Shrub Mocktail and I got the Shrub with Sake. Both were delicious and so interesting. I can't pick a favorite item because they were all so good, but the Torched Mackerel and Poached Bosc Pear were tied for #1, followed by the Salmon, Oysters and the crazy good Blood Orange dessert. The shrimp toast was just ok for me, not bad, just not as good as everything else. Additionally the service was outstanding. For a tiny place they did everything right. They explained each course, brought out fresh utensils for every course - YEA! - and made sure we had good pacing. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and enhanced our meal. I really want to come back and try the oysters and some of the tinned items. I'm so excited I found Mink and will be back for sure.

We tried each of the four cocktails on the Mutiny menu. They were flavorful & delicious! We were delighted to hear about the pop up, as we miss our favorite Tiki spot. But we will definitely come back to The Sugar House!!

The vibe of the bar is a bit upscale with the dim lighting and professional staff while also feeling quaint and approachable.

I decided to order a second drink, a Pisco Sour, because it's not something I find at many bars. Yet again, the drink was perfectly made and balanced. Pricing was very fair and I would highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for an elevated date night.
