But then as the night went on the girl became busy with tidying up the place. The guy bartender totally was dismissive. We had to uncomfortably wave at him because he was too busy entertaining everybody else aside from us. Not a, "are you guys ok? Can I get anything else for you?" Nope, we became an afterthought. He'd rather entertain people who can't order a proper dry martini correctly. I dunno, maybe he deemed We didnt belong there. I guess thats how they weed out people they dont want going in there. Im extremely disappointed. I had high hopes of this place being classy, but then ended up realizing they'd rather entertain pretentious patrons. Find me elsewhere. I'll just be one less patron they have to think about huh?

Nice bar, but the place stunk of cleaning products when we walked in, thankfully when sat we…read morecouldn't smell it too much. Ordered an espresso martini, wasn't made very well at all.

As soon as you walk in you're greeted by a whimsical atmosphere with dim lighting and thoughtfully curated photos lining the walls. Their cocktail menu offers a great variety of creative handcrafted drinks. We visited near the end of the evening so they were out of a few of their signature cocktails. However I was pleasantly surprised when I challenged the head mixologist to create something refreshing based on a few flavor preferences I shared. He absolutely delivered which ended up being one of my favorite parts of the experience and a great example of their attention to customer service and creativity. I'd definitely return to see what else they have to offer and highly recommend it if you're looking for a uniquely intimate spot with great cocktails and an inviting ambiance.

Cocktails galore, wide choice of liquors for your own preferences and of course wine and beer. The space is dark, but well lit, moody but expressive. Obviously a play on the owner's heritage, I want to say he told me this but I could be making it up. The service was nothing short of impeccable, and the bartender made sure she understood my likes and dislikes when making my drink. I usually go on some random kick for a while (old fashioned, revolvers, vodka gimlets, sambuca, etc) and she was fantastic. I hear they moved to an event only space now, but if you get a chance do go.

A bit bummed about this one, honestly. Looked great. We were out for a dinner nearby, so figured we…read morewould try this spot while out there. I looked online and saw they took reservations, yet this function was closed completely on their website. Decided to just stop by, but found them not even open on a Saturday night. Asked at the sports bar and were told it was reservations or private events only. No response when asked how you even make a reservation when the reservations are closed completely. Disappointing.

We finally visited The Sugar House, a Mutiny Pop-up was the reason for the visit. It was amazing…read more The space is cozy, inviting. The menu is extensive and tasteful. The owners know how to do it! They have it locked in. It is located on Michigan Avenue next to Slow's BBQ in Corktown, so it's easy access for date night, girls night, or anytime! 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. Our server was so friendly and helpful, especially helping navigate the extensive menu of cocktails and liquor. She helped me narrow down my first drink to a Clover Club which was perfectly made. 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.

I am not much of a cocktail person and would much rather drink beer. That being said, I was…read moreextremely pleased with not only the taste of the drinks, but also the experience and ambiance at Shelby. The prices of the drinks are steep, but I personally believe the amount is justifiable and would only ever plan to come here and have one drink total. The Paved in Gold was smooth and sweet, while the Swedish Sails was unique, especially being my first ever mixed drink with Malort. This place is perfect for a date night or special occasion.

Really really cool spot! But, not good for an event in my opinion. I came here for a work event,…read moreand there weren't even that many people here and when I tell you it was difficult to navigate, it was very uncomfortable.

Bad Luck Bar is exactly the kind of place that makes you feel like you earned your cocktail before…read moreyou even order it. It is tucked away in an alley, and yes, the trash bins may briefly make you question your life choices. But once you spot the glass block window, you know you are in the right place. The second you walk in, the vibe completely changes. You are greeted by a friendly host, then brought into this tiny, dark, cozy little speakeasy that feels like it seats maybe 25 people total, including the bar. It is intimate in the best way, with a gorgeous liquor wall and a rolling ladder that makes the whole room feel dramatic without trying too hard. The drinks are the reason to come. They are creative, unusual, and genuinely unlike what you will find at a standard cocktail bar. Some of the spirit combinations sound like they should not work on paper, but somehow they absolutely do. The mixologists clearly know what they are doing, because every "wait, really?" ingredient pairing seems to turn into something balanced, interesting, and dangerously easy to appreciate. The only things to keep in mind are the size and the pricing. It can get busy quickly because it is so small, and cocktails can run anywhere from around $20 to over $100 depending on what you order. Not exactly a casual "oops, I had three" kind of place unless your wallet has been emotionally prepared. Bad Luck Bar is moody, memorable, and one of the more unique cocktail experiences in Detroit. It feels hidden, thoughtful, and just a little mischievous, which is exactly what a good speakeasy should be.

A HIDDEN gem! It's nestled in an alley, so yes you will question if you are going the right way!…read moreLol Greeted by a host as soon as you enter and fair warning - - it's small and popular. Please make a reservation! Our wait was about 30-40 mins so we walked to another spot to have a drink and wait. It's a cozy lux vibe with an upscale cocktail menu. This is not your normal tequila and soda okay! Know before you go! Visit their website and preview the drink options if you don't have experience with this style of bar. I ordered the Forgotten Blossom because all things lychee has been my thing lately. The drink looks like water but it is not! lol It's strong drink + having aperitif in it. The waiter was attentive and checked in on us consistently. We even received a complimentary shot after being seated and complimentary birthday shots for the birthday folks! I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I will be back real soon!

The parking lot is right across the street for free. It's a more relaxed crowd which I especially love (30s usually instead of sometimes potentially "creepy/inappropriate" young 20s you may run into at other venues). I tell everybody to come here. I've never once had an issue or complaint. The sound system is superior to any and all other venues. There's a patio with plenty of seating if you need a spot to chill. Come to Marble!
