At Coriander, you might do a double take and wonder if you're actually in Detroit. I visited…read morerecently for a special event and was charmed at the location on the water, at the whimsical decor, and the social media-ready presentation of the food. I never knew about the canal district of Detroit, but the vibe feels like a vacation in Florida instead of the middle of the Midwest. Coriander ups that vacation vibe with bright paint, plenty of outdoor seating, and beautiful decor. All of our food tastes so fresh, and I loved the additions of things like edible flowers on the yogurt that we had with our parfaits. Service was appropriately attentive for a large group, and it never felt intrusive into our private event. I'll look forward to coming back sometime soon for another afternoon that feels miles away from everyday life!

I have been wanting to come to Flyleaf for some time and this Sunday afternoon I had some time to…read morekill. 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.

You can then head outside and either go up to the roof, or down to the back garden patio. We chose to go up to the roof. There is seating up there, or several chair rails.

Apt Disco is another great addition to the Eastside Dance scene. I've been going since they opened…read moreand I really appreciate that they continue to evolve and improve on what was already a good base. They recently built a rooftop patio and man, the view alone is worth the cost of admission... Except there is no cover for any nights (so far)! Their drink menu is primarily inventive amaro-forward cocktails, but don't worry, you can also just get a beer or a vodka soda or a wine, or whatever your pleasure is. There is also non-alcoholic selection. The crowd is diverse, all are welcome. Lots of youngins but also a fair amount of people that maybe grew up when Disco was contemporary. I say this because, no one should feel intimidated about coming here for whatever reason. I know some people don't want to come to a dance club for whatever reason but the are plenty of seats and spots where you can just stand and sway if you want but, it also has one of the best dance floors in Detroit if you want to really get down! They are now mostly just open Fridays and Saturdays, I think from 6 or 7pm to 1am and I've gone early, late, middle, and the crowd ebbs and flows so, that's a bonus too: you could go early and have a fun time and still get home at a decent hour or shut it down. The music is primarily 70s disco but it dips into 80s/90s/2000s. Most times, the music is playing and the analog TVs around are showing the original videos which is fun just to watch those too. The staff is excellent and inviting. Just a great spot and I'm looking forward to many more fun nights there!

Great cocktail list, knowledgeable bartenders who can make just about anything, and great happy hour. Plus pool. If they had a cork dartboard I would move in next door. 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!

Rachel Is a Whole Vibe, Even If I'm Not Built for This Place…read more The Old Pony Martini Pub really tried to win me over. Service? Immaculate. Prices? 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.

Prices are super reasonable and the bartender was very pleasant. Four stars because there was a really strong antiseptic smell (which honestly is better than a lot of alternatives), and it was really hard to get served, despite not being super busy.
