    Cute bar
    Leslie C.

    Cozy bar with delicious cocktails and excellent service. Cool vibe. I enjoyed my 3 cocktails: French exit, Maizing Breakfast, and 8 foot bunch. French exit had too strong of a taste with the malted coffee syrup. That's all I really tasted. Maizing breakfast was really special and unique, and 8 foot bunch was a lovely explosion of flavor. It even had a dried pineapple piece on top and it was tasty. I loved these two drinks. My friend loved her Peace Frog and Cut the Chase cocktails and I tried both and they were lovely and crisp. My friend loved the whitefish dip. It was a little strong for me because it was straight whitefish. I really enjoyed the peanuts. I appreciate that they offer snacks. Easy metered street parking right out front. The Q Line has a stop nearby too. Lovely evening!

    This bar came highly recommended and now I know why. Easy street parking. Eclectic interior. Stellar service. Very well mixed drinks. These bartenders know their stuff. You can order off the menu or get a riff on a classic. We sat at the bar early on a weekend. There was another couple that weren't from the area. Several other groups came in during our short stay. The space is intimate. Service is great. Drinks are spot on. Looking forward to the next visit.

    This is now one of my favorite cocktail bars. The decor is so pretty and hip, the music was vibey, and the bartender was absolutely fantastic. I'd go back just for him! They have the most interesting cocktail menu and a few snacks; I'd try anything they're mixing up. They have a great happy hour with $9 drinks, and I got the dirty martini which was the best martini I've had since my wasp east coast family made me theirs, and that's saying something. So clean and smooth; the most perfect martini anywhere. I also had one of their specialty cocktails - the peace frog - and it was divine. I look forward to having that one again before the menu changes. I also tried my friend's whiskey drinks, and they were both perfect. So balanced with lovely flavor and nothing was too sweet at all. Just right. They also have a jukebox, and who doesn't love that? I'd love to see what it's like a little later into the night or on a weekend; it was very chill for happy hour. Love it here. Highly recommend.

    Stopped in here for the first time for my birthday with my husband. It was a cute little place with a nice list of special drinks and just a nice place to cozy in a have a conversation or even go on a first date. There is no food but it's not a far walk for several restaurants.

    Cool vibe for sure. Like that it's off the beaten path. Good variety of cocktails. Does it set itself apart from other hip, cool bars in the D..... maybe not so much. One big benefit is a tram stop right in front, so you can bar/restaurant hop down Woodward with ease. Also easy parking, so maybe start at TWT and make your way down the road. Another cool thing about location is that Supino's pizza is across the street. So TWT is a good one drink start, then hit up pizza. TWT doesn't serve food and no outside food is allowed.

    They posted some Shrek themed cocktails on instagram so I stopped in after the show to get a drink. This place is so cute and cozy inside and very bright. I really like the bistro style set up. I had the Blue Flower, Red Thorns and was a bit sad they didn't have the full syrup would have liked to try it how it was originally created but gives me a reason to go back!

    It was a freezing cold November evening. We weren't able to make it to the tree lighting the night before. But let's be honest. We hate being cold. So standing outside in 20 degree weather sounds like misery. But I never get to see Campus Martius at Christmas. We plan it every year and every year it's bitter cold and we chicken out. But our night still remained absolutely magical! We started off here. Such a charming little place. Pink always makes me happy! The lighting is soft and welcoming. We were able to get seats at the bar but we clearly got there just in time. By the time we left it was standing room only. They have some lovely cocktails. No food. But a great place for a romantic date. They give you the bill in an old novel. I thought that was a great touch. We both enjoyed our drinks and absolutely will be back.

    Great addition to the Detroit craft cocktail bar scene! Tried several cocktails and all were excellent -- I think my favorite was the Cantarito, though. Super tart and a bit smoky from the mezcal, with that tiny bit of spice from the chamoy. So good. Cher's Diary was also a favorite at our table. Sour and bitter in the best way possible, with the frothiness from the egg white. Delicious! Will definitely find an excuse to go back soon!

    Stumbled upon this place by accident. Very small and cozy place. Waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks were excellent and yummy. I'm only giving this place 4 stars because I felt that half of the place was left undecorated and needed a bit of personal touch similar to the front of the place. Definitely recommend.

    Considering the amount of time I ended up spending when it did reopen after the pandemic, I am…read moreshocked that I didn't have an annual review for the Kiesling. Be still my (former) neighborhood heart. Catching up - cocktails here are still top notch: top as in they taste great, notch as in they could take you down one with their strength. I rolled back in here right after Christmas and started tasting my way through the menu with the Squash mezcal boi. Normally I would never try a drink with boi in its name, but this name is a part of Kiesling's history, and squash? Come on. I had to try it, and it put me right back in the neighborhood as if I had just walked down across the bridge on Brush for a couple of drinks. (And someone please tell me, am I dreaming, didn't we used to cross on Beaubien, too?) I followed that up with the Kie Rye Pie because I cannot resist rhyming, and I am fascinated with drambuie. I thought the drink might be too sweet and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. I had to close the night out with the Pear Pressure because, alas, there is still no food at the Kiesling, and there was no pop up, and I didn't want eat carryout at the bar. The drink was great, but after three I was feeling the booze and headed across the street for something to eat. This bar is cozy with its wooden interior. It still serves a beer and a shot. And folks are friendly, but not going to get in your business unless you invite them.

My friend and I were determined to have veggie botanas and a couple cocktails after work. That was a no go. The first server was great. Marcus was attentive and is usually my server when I visit and sit at the bar. No such luck this evening. He was our server until his shift ended. It was his birthday and he should be allowed the evening to celebrate. Then we cashed out and were handed over to the other server, Kristi. We, two women of color, spent almost fifteen to twenty minutes trying to get her attention to take our orders. This should have been a sign that we were not valued, but we soldiered on. As time continued to tick, we found it easier to cut into Marcus's off time to get him to remind our new server that we were still waiting to place orders. She had not even glanced at us. When we finally did get our food, the botana was full of avocado, but not much else. The beans and cheese were very skimpy. And usually, one botana is enough for me to eat for two days. I had dreams of eating my leftovers for lunch at work. Not today. Oddly enough, she seemed well aware of the table full of white gentlemen seated well after us. This was new to us as we've been coming there for years and even rode out the lounge's COVID-era closure. No matter. Our business was not as valuable as others in her section though it was not a particularly busy night on a Wednesday. I ordered a drink and when the server brought it back, she sat it in front of my friend. When she looked again and realized she'd given it to the wrong person, she simply stated your drink is over there and walked away. The appropriate thing to do is to put down the other drinks for the gentlemen that came after us and give me my beverage. I was proudly a server in college. No way would I have done such. Won't happen because, again, I'm all done here. The nail in the coffin was my friend paid with a $50 bill for one small item. She did not receive the proper amount of change and had to drive back to the venue to get her money. No thanks. I think that Detroiters of color need to be respected as much as the new folks who have recently discovered the area. I'll keep my dollars in my handbag if you can't manage to see me.
