The service and the ambiance were fantastic! I worked at Hudson's before it closed and would eat the Maurice salad for lunch. So I was looking forward to having it when I saw it on the menu. It should be called the Not Maurice salad. It was a big bowl of lettuce with bits of chopped turkey, ham and cheese. That was ok but the salad dressing was horrible. The salad dressing was what gave the original Maurice salad its taste. There was a sliver of pickle and that was it. It was the worst salad I ever had. read more

Another fine experience at Pine Hall, giving the nice sunny day umbrellas were open. At our table we had the salmon and hamburger. The salmon was great 5/5 again! The hamburger I would give a C, a nice size with melted cheese but there was white onions that weren't cooked or caramelized which is odd. They had forgot to place the garlic aïoli on the burger and they provided a side, it wasn't rich of garlic at all and was consistency of ranch-- no bueno! The fries were fine, extra salty I'd say but that's my personal take away. Kallie was our waitress she was wonderful checking in and kept things rolling smoothly. I'd return for the atmosphere and just would try the burger again I'd stick to steak or salmon! read more

After opening earlier this summer and seeing footage, I knew I wanted to include Pine Hall in my birthday celebration. They had stopped accepting reservations, so hearing about its popularity and long lines, I arrived early to secure a table which worked out perfectly. The staff was very friendly and so nice, really making me feel special as word spread of my birthday. The drinks were great. Not having much of an appetite, I only had the deviled eggs and pretzel (which was huge). Both were good. The star, of course, was the view! Sitting at a corner table, I saw Belle Isle and the Detroit River as I looked forward to my right. When I looked over my right shoulder, there was the Gordie Howe bridge in the distance. How awesome!!! read more

Pine Hall - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

During my frequent visit to Detroit I stumbled upon this gem with the most amazing views and aesthetic. The drinks were delicious , the food was fresh and had flavor , and it was the perfect ambiance and rooftop . Also, had to get a bumpy cake to go! My only complaint, is, when first arriving you walk into a building and are met with two ppl who are maybe like a hostess. When asked how long the wait is, they did not have an answer. Not even an estimate. But we waited about 12 mins , which wasn't bad . Overall, I would definitely revisit this place . read more

Met up with some friends here for apps and drinks. Really great views of the city. Food and beverage menu was good but nothing spectacular. Even with a reservation they hold you in the main floor lobby until the hostess upstairs says you can come up. Allow for extra time upon arrival. read more

Really beautiful rooftop views! They don't take reservations so we waited in line for maybe 15-20min? We sat at the bar area. No plans for food this time since we were going to the Tigers game after. Really love the vibe here! Great playlist and friendly staff. It was fun watching them make the drinks. I ordered Match Point: Pimm's cup, vodka, cucumber, lime, ginger beer. My friend got the Desert Island Negroni: mezcal, Campari, Madeira, coconut, orange oils. The drinks were solid! Would love to come back! read more

They still have a few kinks to work out at the entrance. It's a bit chaotic and feels like a cattle call. You're instructed to sit on a bench and wait, but most people naturally head to the hostess stand to give their name, so there's a constant stream of people being redirected and others wondering if someone is cutting the line. Once you step into the gorgeous golden elevator, though, everything changes. The staff is genuinely friendly, the views are breathtaking, the cocktails are excellent, and the food is good. We happened to come on a perfect evening, which made the experience even better. In fairness, my steak was just slightly overcooked, and I think they're still working out the service. It was a bit slow at times (my water glass sat empty twice), and despite a wait downstairs, at least half the tables upstairs were empty, so they may simply be understaffed. That said, the warmth and professionalism of our servers went a long way. It's a beautiful addition, and I'm looking forward to coming back in a few months to see how it develops. read more

Not a huge fan of how the waiting list is set up, they don't really take names...they sort of make you form a line and I believe this is on purpose because there is plenty of seating but they don't want to overwhelm the staff! However if you want some of the best views in the city, this is your place! The menu is pretty solid, we only got a chocolate chip cookie because we had just left dinner and simply came to see some views before our concert. The chocolate chip cookie was pretty good and next time I'll be sure to try the chicken tenders! I did not order a drink but the bartender seemed a bit stressed making them... so I'm glad we didn't! Overall, service was good even with the crowd! My only complaint is the restroom situation, it is very dark and although my door was locked, two people were able to walk in on me. Made me uncomfortable and embarrassed! Luckily they weren't men but still not a good first impression :( read more

Checked out this new downtown spot with some friends, and overall we had a great time! The only downside was the long line just to get upstairs. As we got closer to the front, staff were handing out complimentary samples of sparkling water and prosecco, which was a nice touch and definitely helped pass the time. Once we made it upstairs, I was honestly surprised there was so much seating available, so I wasn't sure why the wait was so long. That said, the incredible customer service and breathtaking views quickly made us forget about the line. The menu offers small bites, appetizers, and great cocktails. I ordered the Maurice Salad, and it instantly took me back to the old Hudson's days. It had all the classic flavors with a nice modern twist. The French fries were delicious, and the cocktails were excellent. The real highlight, though, is the rooftop view of the city. It's absolutely beautiful and worth the visit alone. I can't wait to come back and bring more friends. Whether it's during the day or in the evening, if you enjoy a great city view, this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

I went here on a Tuesday with a group of girlfriends. Since we came when it just opened at 4pm, we got in right away. Since it is a rooftop, we took an elevator up and when we got to the floor, we were blown away by the views. I also love the decors which contains a lot of greenery. The service was quick. We order a variety of food and drinks. I really like the detroit vibe cocktail. All the food was delicous and good. The only thing I think they can do better are the chocolate chips cookies. I think because my bestie makes it so good, it is hard to compare. read more

The perfect summer night in Detroit if you're looking for a new venue with great food, nice vibes and top tier service. Upon arriving to the Hudson building I was greeted by a host who was warm and inviting. We then traveled up the elevator to the rooftop. Immediately after getting to the top floor we were greeted by another host who promptly sat us. One thing I immediately noticed is there didn't seem to be a bad seat on the rooftop. There was a plethora of high tops, standard tables and comfy patio furniture that filled the long patio. I appreciated that the rooftop was narrow and long which helped ensure all guests can take in the city views. The drinks were exquisite. I am obsessed with jalapeño margaritas and they didn't disappoint. It was a perfect balance of spicy with a touch of sweet presented with a pepper that allows you to enhance the spice should you choose to. The espresso martini was also delightful - let's just say the bartender didn't miss. Lastly the boozy Boston cream cooler provided a great elevated take. For starters we had the French onion bread, sausage and deviled eggs. All were absolutely delicious. We then shared the blackened salmon and steak so we could try both. I am a huge blackened salmon person but wasn't blown away however the steak was perfect. It's a leaner steak so while I would normally go medium you can easily go medium rare which was the chef's suggestion and I obliged. The cauliflower picatta was absolutely delightful. I had never tasted such a combination and it worked. Seriously where have you been all my life? Perfect balance of capers, cauliflower and the works. For dessert I was looking forward to the Linda toffee pudding which was sold out for the evening so yes I have a reason to return and try it next time however the alternatives definitely didn't disappoint. I am not a bumpy cake person but while I was supposed to be sharing some with my friend I may have eaten most of it - whoops. Perfect balance of decadent chocolate and a whimsical cream puff on top. And then there was the chocolate chip cookie - don't sleep on what may seem so basic for dessert as it was AMAZING. The restaurant may want to consider also opening a bakery purely based off of what I've already tried. Lastly our server Lindsay made the experience even better. She was extremely kind and knowledgeable making great recommendations throughout the evening. It's apparent the Pine Hall team knows quality is a combination of great aesthetics, delicious food and top notch dining staff. I can't wait to bring more friends over. read more

Yay!!!!! We finally made it to Pine Hall! I've been trying to get in for a week! They don't take reservations at this time so getting in is a little tricky at the moment! Pine Hall is absolutely beautiful and the views of the city, spectacular! This was our final stop of the evening and it did not disappoint! We ordered a few craft cocktails to enjoy while the sun was setting on the horizon! They do offer food options and I hear everything is very good off the menu! I will most certainly be back to try out the food, too! read more

Super cool views from the rooftop dining/bar area! I stumbled upon Pine Hall during a work trip that ran late and Pine Hall was one of the only actual restaurants in the area that was still open and serving dinner. There's an interesting process for getting up to the restaurant from the lobby, but it makes it fun! I got a seat at the bar and had great service, I was in and out in under 40 minutes! I got the steak and duck-fat-roasted potato which was amazing. I didn't get a drink but they had a wide range of different cocktails and liquors. I personally chose not to go outside due to wildfire smoke but the views from inside were great as well. Would be the perfect date night spot. read more

Summer in the city calls for rooftop bars with dazzling sweeping views of the city and delicious al fresco dining and cocktails, and Pine Hall is a newly opened lovely addition to Detroit that offers just that. They were offering a few reservations daily, only from the hours of 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm for tables of 1-4 people on Open Table. I was luckily able to swipe one of these reservations that disappeared almost as soon as they were posted. However, now Open Table states they only take reservations for 8 people or more so their business is almost entirely made up of walk-ins. The first week that they opened, they were significantly busy, with almost their entire lobby filled with guests waiting. They do not have a wait-list or wait times and they have guests form a line in the lobby and they take up guests to be seated, as tables become available. We visited on the Sunday over July 4th weekend, and their lobby was much less full than opening weekend, with shorter wait times, however we had a reservation and were seated almost immediately. The atmosphere here is outstanding with sightlines of the Detroit skyline, highlighting views of the Book Tower, David Scott Building, and the Ambassador Bridge. The menu has a nostalgic Mad Men'esque 1950's vibe with nods to the historic Hudson's building and cafe with menu items like deviled eggs, sausage rolls, Maurice salad, boozy Boston Cooler, bumpy cake, and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. All of the cocktails have breezy picturesque summer names, playing homage to the open-air atmosphere and the city with names like Heat Wave, Open Windows, Golden Hour, In the Clouds, and Detroit Vice. We started with drinks and I had the lemon-lime spritz, a spin on the traditional Aperol spritz with the addition of limoncello, and my boyfriend had the Cool Front, a refreshing margarita with pineapple, cucumber and dill. Both of our drinks were made to perfection, very well balanced, smooth, and refreshing. My boyfriend kept raving about how tasty the margarita was. The Detroit Vice also looked intriguing and might be what I try for my next visit. It's served as two separate cocktails, a pina colada and strawberry daiquiri, meant to be tasted alone and separately and then mixed if one so chooses like a Miami Vice. For food, we had the deviled eggs and the white fish dip. The deviled eggs are served with three halves and the server asked if we would like four since we were sharing, which was nice. The deviled eggs were very tasty served with crispy pancetta and chives. The white fish dish was okay but was kind of a small portion for the price so next time I would probably try something else like the crab fritters, or peel and eat shrimp. We saw a lot of people ordering the pretzel which looked great and was very large. The Pine Hall burger also was very popular and looked thick and juicy with dry aged beef. We finished our visit with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and an espresso martini, which both were very delicious. The standouts of our visit were the dazzling views and the very delicious cocktails. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. Our server was also knowledgeable, offering suggestions. The patio was mostly closed when we visited due to a storm just before we arrived. The benches were wet and covered with rain. We were offered a seat on the patio with a view of the Detroit River and Ambassador Bridge. However, we opted to sit indoors near the windows and we strolled out as we pleased to admire the views. It was also a stifling hot day so it was much more comfortable in the air conditioning. Overall, we had a great experience here and I would highly recommend checking out the newly opened Pine Hall and adding it to your Detroit rooftop bucket list this summer. read more

First come first serve long line to wait in on Saturday around 7 pm. Probably waited close to an hour. Views are gorgeous. $27 burger which was an average burger, $39 bistro steak which was very good but a little over salted. The usual prices for drinks -$18 ish. Glad we went. I'd go again for the views, but valet was $38 for the 2 hours we were there. Just stab me. Are we in New York? read more

My new favorite rooftop in Detroit.. views are gorgeous and vibe is right. Went twice this weekend because it just felt so good. Had a tequila drink that had a Thai chili in it that was fantastic and then also had a bourbon drink called in the woods that was great also. The crab fritters were delicious and so was the burger and fries. read more

Came in for dinner and drinks on a Thursday evening. No reservations were needed; we valet-parked, checked in at the desk, and were walked to the elevator shortly after. Upon entry, we were instantly greeted and asked if we were here for just drinks or food as well. Today there is an air quality alert so we had to sit inside. Although we were inside we had a beautiful city view from the huge windows. At about 9:45 they dimmed the lights which was nice for the chill vibe. They have nice old school music playing that I like. Our server was super attentive and friendly, he gave us menu suggestions and explained certain drink details. I ordered two drinks: first, the open windows, which was citrus-based, 5/10, and I had an out of the woods, which is an old-fashioned kind of drink, 10/10. I prefer those! For food, I ordered the lump crab toast, which was very lemony and I did not like it 0/10. The fried chicken was amazing 10/10 very flavorful and crunchy accompanied by two dipping sauces spicy Dijon and barbecue sauce. The fries were amazing as well 10/10. I will definitely return and hope to sit outside as long as conditions permit. read more

Come for the ambiance and service, but don't bother staying for the food. The portions were very small with a very high price tag. The smoked whitefish dip was good, but came in a small ramekin the same size you'd get served a side of ketchup to dip your fries in. The peppers were bland and boring. The burger, for $28, was very average, and overcooked. The cocktails were pretty good though. read more

The view! The view is spectacular. I'd go as far as to say it is probably currently the best rooftop in Detroit! Definitely worth the wait! Beautiful seating groupings-very trendy. Thoughtful/trendy decorating theme. Loved it! We had perfect seating to view the Friday night fireworks from Comerica Park. Very nice vibe with the best views in the city. The line was very long and they do not take reservations. The wait ended up being about an hour to be seated. You must stand in a line until that time. The food was slow being served. Do not order the pub cheese. Not good. The bumpy cake was very salty. How does a bumpy cake taste so salty? Also appears as though the cake may have been frozen and not totally thawed. The Maurice salad is not the Maurice salad of the Hudson days. The dressing is very different-no similarity in taste. But the rooftop has only been open a week and like any establishment needs to get the kinks worked out-they were apologetic and compensated several dishes due to errors-like serving our dessert to the table next to us. ‍ While I will likely be back -it will be for the spectacular views and a few cocktails! I'd recommend skipping the food for now. read more

We were excited to check this place out, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. When we arrived, we were told to wait in a very long line just to get up to the rooftop. That was fine, but the line made us think it was going to be packed with a great atmosphere. After waiting about 40 minutes, we finally made it upstairs only to find it surprisingly quiet. We ordered a Coke, cocktails, fries, and a pretzel. The Coke was flat and overly syrupy, and the cocktails barely tasted like they had any alcohol in them. The food was average at best and definitely not worth the price. The overall vibe felt sleepy, and the music was so low you could barely hear it. The rooftop view was beautiful, and honestly that's the main reason I would consider coming back. Other than that, I wasn't impressed. I definitely wouldn't wait in a 40-minute line again for the experience we had. read more

Cleanliness, ambiance, and views are excellent. The drink selections were very good, the food was very average - with very limited choices for entrees. Don't order the Maurice Salad - the quality of ingredients and dressing are not even as good as a diner. The service was just awful. There were empty tables on a Tuesday, and no wait to get sat. Yet it took forever to have drinks delivered and they just plain forgot to bring two of the four that were ordered. Appetizers took 20+ mins for delivery, and the quality was pretty good (shishito peppers, pretzel, and shrimp). They were delivered without even taking our dinner order. It got worse...we made the mistake of ordering a Coke and two more cocktails. After waiting over 15 mins for the drinks, I decided to get up to check the bar. There I saw (7) prepared cocktails sitting there waiting to be delivered with completely melted ice (water pooled and floating on top of drinks). The bartender looked at me and didn't even ask if he could help me. He just kept talking to a pretty lady seated at the bar....ignoring me. We got the drinks delivered 10 mins later (total of 25 mins wait time), and we refused two of them because we were about done eating. The waitress said "sorry for the problems, I went on a little break". Wow. It got worse... Later that evening we made yet another bad decision to stay for a drink and sit on the patio. We went to the bar to order drinks. The same bartender stared at me and my girlfriend and didn't move from the end of the bar and the girl he kept talking to. We asked "are you the bartender". He replied "yes", then slowly walked over and stared at me. We asked what IPA beers he has available. He said I have one. Then asked a few other questions. Nothing but one word answers and wondered why I came to the bar earlier in the evening and looked at his drinks. I said "because we were waiting over 15 mins for ours, and saw them sitting there melting". Nothing but obvious attitude problem and lazy garbage from this guy's mouth. I ordered three more drinks for the people celebrating their birthdays, tipped him $0.00 (for my first time in my life), and went outside shaking my head at what I just experienced. We won't be back, and I strongly suggest you don't go there anytime soon. Even the rooftop views weren't worth the average food and atrocious service. read more

Reservation are not available. But, the line moved fairly promptly. From the check in line to the elevator for the 12th floor. Ordered Pine Burgers (1medium; 1 med well)w/ fries; lemonades (one with coke mixed) and GL Borgo Maragliano, Moscato d'Asti, Italy 2024 . Server brought out three burger meals; did not know which was med or med well. Attempted to place the third hamburger meal at the table when it was designated for the table to the right. Lemonade had the slightest bit of lemon taste; and was as clear as water. The coke had a taste of a three-day-old bottle in a cup. The medium well burger was adorned with a string of blonde hair. In which case the server abruptly replaced the meal with Boneless Fried Chicken. The ambiance was the best thing of the day/evening. The roof top was very elegant with sweeping views of downtown. Perfect backdrop for a day/night out dining. After the major inconveniences; there was nothing offered to make up for the issues. Considering the fact that this location in part of a larger experienced hospitality group. The aforementioned issues should not have occurred. read more

I was excited to try this after all the hype and was really disappointed. First ... the venue is awesome, nice work. We were there at 4pm and were seated pretty quick which was great given the line. We waited for a good 5-10 minutes to be greeted. Waited again before we were asked for a cocktail order. We knew what we wanted so we ordered drinks and food together. Brought plates and napkins, no silverware. Silverware came .. not enough, easily fixed but really.... Our food came before our drinks and it took three tries to get the right food to the right table. Our drinks arrived after the food and that took 2 tries as well. The Maurice salad is not good and not a Hudson's Maurice. Go to Nino Salvaggio for a better one. Our other food was great, nice job to the kitchen. Not positive but will give a second chance in a few months. read more

We went on Saturday. We tried to make reservations but could not and learned it's first come first served for now. The line to get upstairs was over 30 mins but the restaurant was less than 50% full.

When we went to the other side of the massive deck the views were very nice. read more

Wildly disappointed with the experience- that we didn't end up getting (party of 4). We waited over 30 minutes (that the hostess said would be 30 max) and then was told we had 14 people still waiting in front of us. We also watched several parties of 2 (as walk-ins) get taken up ahead of us. No additional communication or texts to let us know the wait would be delayed. We waited 40 minutes in a sterile cold lobby and then walked up and asked how much longer. It was not a weekend- just an incompetent hostess playing the part of being fancy. Get over yourself- we tip 25-30%. Tell your servers they don't need us I guess. read more

Disaster from start to finish. We arrived on a Saturday at 5:00 and waited an hour and twenty minutes before be taken to the restaurant. You wait in the downstairs lobby. They are trying to "create a buzz" by making you wait because once you go upstairs, the place is more than half empty. I would estimate at least seventy-five percent of the patrons are only there "to be seen". They are all taking selfies, doing all their social media posing, etc. It's over the top. I have never seen anything like it. You won't see more filler, implants or scantily clad women anywhere else in Detroit. It's really trashy in my opinion. We were seated and the views are nice. The server doesn't know what a non-alcoholic beer but insists an Arnold Palmer is probably it. Yeah, no. He never brought water and after asking the supervisor brought us a carafe of warm water-no ice. We had to ask for that. We got our food which was a small burger for $27 and five chicken nuggets (too small to be called tenders) which were overcooked and cost $22.00. This place is a joke. We were never asked how our meals were or if we wanted to order anything else. We paid and left while trying to make our way through all the "beautiful people" posing for their Facebook and Instagram pages so we could get to the elevator. It was a bizarre experience to say the least. Grossly overpriced with poor food and worse service. Once was enough! read more

Pine Hall is by far the best rooftop experience in downtown Detroit! Service, food and drinks was excellent!

5 stars all around! We started with the Crab Imperial Toast which was fantastic - I could make a meal out of that alone! I had the burger which was huge and perfectly cooked - medium rare with crispy edges. Toppings of cheddar cheese, onions and horseradish sauce made it delicious. Hubby has the trout which he said was really good. For dessert we had the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was the absolute best I've ever had (and I'm British!). Service was friendly and very attentive - from the minute we walked in the door until the minute we left, we were greeted and attended to as if we were someone special (we're not). The atmosphere was equally delightful. It's both casual and exciting, steeped in history yet modern all at the same time. Sitting under an umbrella on a warm June evening watching the sun set over Detroit landmarks felt like a "special privilege". I'll definitely return! read more
