Father Forgive Me was high on my Detroit list after hearing so much hype about it, both online and…read morefrom friends. Nate and I stopped in on our most recent visit to Detroit and had a lovely experience. The space is tucked away but had a surprising amount of outdoor space--we were there in January but I'd love to come back in the summer. We were greeted right away and given a spot near the bar. The menu includes cocktails, lots of wine, and several tasty food options. It was quite busy inside, so it took a bit of time for our server to come over to us, but we weren't in a rush. They had ten cocktails on their list and I tried the bullet proof soul and Nate got the negroni alla perra. The ingredients list for some of the cocktails include things I've never heard of, but at a place like this, I just know it's going to be good. Our drinks were perfectly balanced and very tasty. We also ordered the mortadella sandwich to split--this was delicious. It was pretty messy, but worth it. It was perfectly toasted and full of mortadella. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I would love to try more of the food options. Can't wait to visit again!

There's artwork, a skatepark, renovated houses, gardens and a church that is now an art gallery. We stopped in to check it out and sat at the bar for a cocktail and snack. The waitstaff were super helpful in explaining everything and we finally picked 2 apps and got drinks. Both were amazing. There were friendly patrons all around and we chatted with other bar admirers. We checked out the coffee shop, Warda, but didn't purchase anything then, but have had several of their desserts since then and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere is wonderful, indoor/outdoor bar, great outside seating - not sure how this will work in the winter? They also have very pretty stone paths with multicolor stones mixed in for a very peaceful beautiful look. It inspired me to add some multicolored stones to my garden! I can't wait to return.

The menu is small but has some tasty items to try. My friends order the wings and I ordered the lentil soup both of which we enjoyed very much.

They did have a seasonal old fashion that we ordered after the traditional ones and we did enjoy that one much more. Overall, the place is very clean, the staff was kind and welcoming and the vibe was just what we needed for work night relax wind down spot.

She was so nice on the phone when we called to see if the joint was open, and how late it would be open. Our plan was to visit a few different places, but we just stayed here until close. And Red was a big part of why we stayed so late. Also she curated the music selection just perfectly. Great place, great people. Come and get some brew, boo!

This was just a great experience and 100% stop here whenever I'm in the area.

Lenny's is a new bar on Mack, not far from Apt Disco. It was a bar previously so long-time…read moreresidents will remember that. It's a good mix of dive, craft cocktails, and sports bar. They have TVs for the games and a pool table and darts maybe? Probably... I really like the craft cocktail menu that is mostly classics and around $8 to $10. Citadelle gin is their house gin so they are already tops in my book. I've tried the French 75, Daquari, and Airmail, all delicious. You can definitely get easy drinks like a gin and tonic or rum and coke too. Their house rum is Plantation, another good sign. They do have hard seltzers there but I think it's White Claw and not Topo Chico which seems to be the preferred brand in my demographic. And naturally, a variety of local and mainstream beers across all price points. Check their social media to see what games are playing and who is working the bar and if there are any specials running. They've only been open a couple weeks and it's fast becoming my before and after spot. Cheers!

In all honesty, I was not aware of this spot at all but I knew POST across the street so the area was at least familiar to me. The vibe is very casual, kind of a sport bar meets karaoke/live music dive with good burgers and cheap beer. I didn't stick around long since I got there late but I enjoyed my time there. Our waitress in particular was a hoot. Not sure how often I'll find myself in the area but if I do I would have no problem wanting to return for another round!

The atmosphere here is good, former church converted to a beer garden. The setting is unique and…read moreenjoyable. The service was very slow, edited 10 minutes before anyone came over to take our happy hour drink order. After another 1/2 hour they took our appetizer (jumbo pretzel and charcuterie board) order and it took forever to get. They finally came back for our dinner order which took at least, another hour to get. The food was mediocre at best, my granddaughters chicken strips were fried, and dried, like eating balsa wood. The restaurant was not busy, for a Friday evening which says something as the surrounding restaurants were bursting with customers. Anyways, a nice atmosphere to grab one of their beers (purple gang pilsner is good) and sit at the bar but I would skip the food. We were there 3 hours to get a bar good dinner, unacceptable. Atwater is going to have to go better if they want a dinner crowd.

Little did I know that Flyleaf Literature & Libations would be firing on all cylinders. It was a packed house on both floors including a private party in their meeting room on the second floor. One of the workers was kind enough to give me and my Yelp BFF the lay of the land. He shared that Flyleaf was hosting a Boy Band event with great music playing and lots of patrons taking advantage of their Sunday Brunch offerings. It was very festive and standing room only at the moment. They host various theme events every month. Although I have included the menu, their food offerings change too. They had a great book selection. I was impressed that they had four books featured that I recently purchased. I look forward to returning to kick back with a book on their patio with a pastry or two.

While I waited for my food I ordered a non-alcoholic drink. I like that non-alcoholic drinks are cheaper than alcoholic drinks.

The menu states that it is made of guava, lemon, cherry, dulce de leche. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any guava, lemon, or dulce de leche. It was just a cherry drink. I assumed they didn't have the ingredients to make the cocktail I ordered.

Shockingly reasonable -- like "did they forget to add a zero" And Rachel? Oh, Rachel was out here being fun, cool, hip... basically the human equivalent of a limited‑edition sticker pack. She somehow manages to make you feel both welcomed and mildly judged for your drink choice, which honestly is a talent. But listen -- this place just wasn't for me. Not because of Rachel (she's basically the pub's emotional support bartender), not because of the martinis (which slapped), but because I walked in expecting "old pony" energy. So yeah, 5/5 stars. Would recommend. Will absolutely not be returning. This was a one‑night stand between me and a martini bar, and I'm choosing to ghost.
