    Attached to Mootz Pizzeria & Bar. A lot of people on Yelp recommended this place so, I had to check…read moreit out. We went for happy hour before the concert. It's very small, intimate setting. Limited seating, first come first serve. It feels more like a side thought for sure. We felt like an afterthought. Our table was not cleaned, our servers were not attentive did not bring us water, nor cleaned off the table. It felt so informal and overly casual. Like I'm going to my friends bar that they owned and I get whatever service because it's my friend. But this was my first time and I was not impressed with the service at all. The food and drinks were good. Also, they did not adjust our bill for the happy hour special. That was the whole point of us going there because of the happy hour menu. I'm not sure if I would return.

    I'm not exactly sure how we ended up here. We were looking for another place when we spotted a sign…read moreadvertising happy hour near an alleyway entrance and decided to check it out. We were the first customers of the afternoon and grabbed seats at the bar. The space has a retro vibe, almost like an bowling alley bar. The happy hour deals were hard to pass up: $3 off appetizers and cocktails, plus $6 beers. We ordered the meatballs, which were pretty good, and washed them down with multiple $6 tall cans of Modelo. What started as an accidental stop turned into a good place to grab a drink and a snack. If you're in the area, the happy hour specials make it worth checking out.

    Had such an amazing experience at Standby!! The food and especially the drinks were outstanding…read more The cocktail menu was organized into three parts: Opening, Principals, and Finish. The theme was "Yes, Chef: An exploration of culinary icons through a cocktail lens." Each drink was inspired by or dedicated to a famous culinary icon, and you can read about each one in the index. We each ordered one drink from each section. From the Opening, I chose the Diaspora Club, which was so refreshing and delicious. Then from the Principals, I chose the Chingona, which was a little bit spicy and savory but still so refreshing. To Finish, I chose the Chocolatier Cosmo, which came with a tiny house-made salted dark chocolate. I loved all three cocktails I ordered, especially the chocolatier cosmo because it was perfectly sweet and went so well with the small piece of chocolate. For food, we started off with the crispy pork belly milk bread. For my entree, I ordered the miso butter gnocchi. It was kind of on the salty side but I still really liked it. The apple sofrito added a bit of sweetness to it. For dessert, we had to get the rhubarb coffee cake, which came with strawberry ice cream. Omg one of the best desserts I've ever had!! I never thought of combining cinnamon coffee cake with rhubarb or strawberry but it's perfect, and I might have to make something like that soon. Service was great and we were seated right away at 8pm on a Saturday despite not having a reservation. Food and drinks came out promptly and timed perfectly. We spent about 1.5 hours here and we never felt rushed.

It's sleek, intimate, and effortlessly cool without feeling pretentious. The lighting, the music, the overall aesthetic -- everything feels intentional. It's the kind of place that works just as well for date night as it does for a night out with friends. Now let's talk about the drinks -- because that's where Standby really shines. The cocktails are creative, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced. You can tell there's serious thought behind every ingredient. Whether you're into something bold and spirit-forward or smooth and refreshing, they nail it. The food matches the energy of the bar. Every dish feels curated, flavorful, and plated with care. It's not just "bar food" -- it's thoughtfully crafted and pairs perfectly with whatever you're sipping. Service has always been attentive and knowledgeable. The staff knows the menu inside and out and makes great recommendations without making you feel rushed. Standby is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem even though everyone knows about it. If you want craft cocktails, elevated bites, and a true downtown Detroit vibe, this is your spot. I'll definitely be back.
