While downtown gets most of the love, out there in Milwaukee Junction theres a lot of lovely spots that also should be recognized the wonderful masterpieces they create for our pleasure. One of these spots is Time WIll Tell. A perfectly fashioned cocktail bar, it lean and light and full of delight. Championed by charming touches like the juke box, the continually adapting menu along with their classics makes this a great spot to grab a drink before dinner or even a nightcap. The staff is well knowledged, even better skilled and will adapt to your likes and dislikes. Can't ask much more than that. read more

I like the atmosphere here. I came here with my sister. She ordered a cocktail and I had a mocktail mojito. My drink had a weird after taste. I ask the bartender what was used to make the drink. He mentioned a spirit/fake liquor. If you get a mocktail get it without the fake liquor otherwise it will not taste good. read more

What a gem! Close to the Fisher Theatre for drinks prior to a show. Lovely ambiance, nice staff, no real food but that's ok as long as you know prior to going. Bartender made us drinks on the spot as we didn't like any on the cocktail menu, they were delicious! read more

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! read more

This place is so sweet and beautiful inside. The service is so good and the drinks are delicious. There are many bar that like to present craft cocktails at an outrageous price but time will tell delivers. Expect beautifully constucted cocktails in a super clean chill vibe. read more

This place was close to the hotel. I was staying at, and I was looking for a place to have a drink with a friend. We decided to try it out and there was a pop-up that was happening. Admittedly none of the drinks looked good enough for us to order on the special menu, but they were pretty open and let us order other traditional bar drinks. Nice vibe and space. read more

The bar is small and a hidden place in midtown detroit. The drink menu has beginner, Advance, Expert level drinks. The atmosphere was very Loud and crowded on Friday night read more

Stylish bar located across Woodward from Henry Ford. Small and intimate space. Great jukebox. Drinks are imaginative. Friendly and welcoming for any age group. read more

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. read more

Beautiful place good drinks. They could use some light snacks and bites but the drinks are different and innovative

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

My drink was very good, the place is very cute. Unfortunately there was a really bad odor in the bar last night. Like a dirty diaper smell. Would have stayed for more than one cocktail (my husband didn't even order bc he was so put off), and I'll try this place again...but the smell inside was intolerable read more

Nice vibe and decorum. The service was on point. I definitely think they should expand their menu-- its drinks only. So if you are hungry, I would definitely advise you to start somewhere else. The bartender is skilled and cocktails were excellent. I would definitely come back again. Also the location is perfect -- mad parking in the area. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Had a really fun time here getting some after work drinks with my group. The ambience was super cozy, I think comfortably seats about 40-50 people. They had a great playlist going and the place was all decked out for Halloween. The drinks were amazing. I got the Queen of Sheba which was a creamy pistachio gin drink that reminded the table of a thin mint. I also got the Cut the Chase which was a nice bright milk washed bourbon. Would definitely come back for more pre dinner drinks read more

The location cracks me up as it's located between White Castle and Huntington Bank, once you enter the bar, you are transported to a comfortable, fun bar. The service was excellent and we happened to come during Happy Hour yay! Tues-Fri 5-7pm. The Margarita was delicious and the Martini was strong with 3 green olives. The bar filled up with several couples and it was a pleasant atmosphere. We had a good time here and could've stayed longer, definitely a great addition to Detroit's New Center area. read more

Came in from out of town for work. Bartender, but more specifically a cocktail artist Zack, is absolutely amazing. He's got a vision and taste for innovative drink making. It's quite phenomenal. He was very attentive to what my taste preferences were. I was equally open to his artistic mastery when it came to cocktail making. I have zero complaints and this is a must-visit for both locals and folks from out of town like myself! If you're lucky enough to walk in on a night when Zack is working, the guy is masterful! Highly, highly recommend!!! read more

Last night, my husband & I made our way to Detroit's Milwaukee Junction neighborhood to check out this cute, new cocktail bar. We knew from the fact it was a Detroit Optimist Society venture that it was going to be special. Stepping inside, we were not disappointed. It has a really cool throwback vibe that is classy and intimate. From the gorgeous bar back to the color scheme and fun jukebox, the decor was perfect. At first we sat at a table, but moved to the bar when seats opened up. There is no better place to sit if you want to watch the drinks being made and share interesting conversation with friendly bartenders. We had three drinks: 1. The Hiatus Cowboy (Espolon Resposado, mole syrup, Angosturo bitters & grapefruit) Similar to an old-fashioned, this was delicious. The tequila was perfectly subtle. 2. Cut the Chase (milk-washed Evan Williams bourbon, Ameretto Fratelli d'italia, lemon juice, ginger syrup & Peychauds bitters). This was my favorite. It reminded me of an elevated whiskey sour. 3. Encantorito (Espolon Blanco, Los Vecinos mexcal, grapefruit juice, lime juice & chamay syrup) This was the only one I didn't care for - It was very smoky in flavor. I did love the chamay syrup they used, however, so I may see if they can downplay the mezcal next time. read more

Great vibe in this little bar in an unsuspecting location. On Woodward in New Center, the area is not huge on night life, leading this spot to have a comfortable buzz on a Saturday night. The spot is cozy, eclectic interior, flowered wallpaper on one wall, and exposed brick on the other. Good music at the right volume. They have a nice list of cocktails, and limited wine and beer. Really enjoyed it, will return. read more

Came here after work on a Thursday evening and was able to walk right in and grab a table. Neat little place with speakeasy vibes. The drink menu looked amazing! I went with a Cut the Chase and it was phenomenal! my colleagues both had a dirty martini and enjoyed them, although I thought the portion was quite small. Overall nice spot and I'm looking forward to trying out some other drinks soon! read more

It's a vibe.....Time Will Tell has opened her doors! We were so excited for a little night out in the city and Time Will Tell was our destination. New to the cocktail scene, Time Will Tell is such a unique experience. If you didn't know what you were looking for, you would most certainly pass it by. It has a speakeasy vibe and the decor is retro cool. We ended up sitting at the bar and talking to the bartenders. We ordered a few cocktails that were fantastic. I really don't want to give too munch away, but this is most certainly the new spot to be! read more

Gorgeous, intimate bar opened in mid March by the Sugar House & Wright & Co. Drinks we had were great: Hiatus Cowboy - Espolon reposado, mole syrup, Angostura bitters, grapefruit - delicious! A great substitute for an old fashioned. Cher's Diary - Norden strawberry aquavit, Valentine White Blossom vodka, Aperol, citric orange juice, egg white, soda....oh it's good! Cut the Chase - Milk washed Evan Williams bourbon, Amaretto Fratellu D'italia, lemon juice, ginger syrup, Peychauds bitters....very unique flavors - would bet you've never had anything quite like it (highly recommend!) Meeting with Misha - dessert in a drink! Kernel One vodka, Amaro Paxil, Frangelico, espresso syrup, egg (or can be made with soy milk). This was amazing!!! Top notch bartenders. Atmosphere is gorgeous. They are going for a 1950's vibe & decor is beautiful. Cool jukebox (free when we were there). It's a little hard to find - look for the Baltimore Station - it's right across the street. Check them out!!!! read more

Time Will Tell is a cozy New Center bar now open 7 days a week! I most recently was in for a candles and cocktails class in partnership with Detroit Rose. I love the vintage awning and jukebox that greet you when you walk in the door. The cocktails are expertly crafted and curated but if you are feeling something different, you can always get the beer and a shot for something down and dirty. read more

Quiet, comfortable vibe with lovely retro/speakeasy decor. A little out of the way compared to other bars, but parking and access is relatively easy. Bartenders were skilled and cocktails were excellent. I would definitely come back to this bar again. read more
