    I like this place. It was a little hard to find at 1st. For anyone looking, it apart of the raised houses on the corner of Kercheval and Maxwell. It's a small bar at the end of the row of businesses. I really enjoyed my drinks, the imago and cherry high, which were recommended by the bartender. I definitely would come back here to get those again and try some else. They have a few mocktails and you can get some of the drink without alcohol as well. If they do it right, then you'll have a great mocktail that tastes better than "just juice". They have a window in the back where you can order some tacos to eat before or with your drinks. I like this place and I'll be back soon. The ambiance is chill and very casual. Can't wait to come back.

    Great vibe here. Been to Two Birds twice and it was much less hectic this time, but somehow the bar missed our order so we were waiting a while before we realized they just weren't going to call us. I did not enjoy the Quench N/A drink, assuming that's what I was indeed served. It just tasted weird and nothing like the advertised ingredients. My partner's drink was very boozy and tasted like expected, but nothing out of this world. Would love to come here on a nice day and enjoy the patio with a bite to eat, looks like they have a cool Lebanese (or similar) pop up going right now.

    We were in the area for dinner at Marrow but a bit early for our reservation, so Nate and I stopped in to Two Birds for a drink. I'd never heard of this spot before but was so glad we found it, because we had a great experience. The bar is kind of small and cozy, but it wasn't busy around 3:30 on a Sunday. They have a nice list of $12 cocktails, which is kind of a bargain these days. I got a hot cider with rum that was delicious - not too sweet or boozy. I really liked the bird mugs they had. They also have an interesting wine list, canned beer, and a few options on draft as well as bottles and cans to take to go. They don't have a full food menu, but there was a brunch pop up happening that day. They have some snacks for purchase. In the summers they sell soft serve custard ice cream and there's a walk up window for ordering - the bartender said it gets pretty busy for that. I loved the ice cream photo wall in the bathroom as well as the playlist. I also appreciated the chill vibe and not having to yell to talk, although it wasn't busy at the time we were there. The seating is a little weird, with really low benches around the perimeter and short stools. I overheard the bartender saying that one of the owners also owns the Collect beer bar, which has similar seating, so that made sense. They have patio seating for warmer months. I loved this little spot and would definitely stop in again.

    Off the beaten path bar that seems to be located in a repurposed family home. Laid back interior with comfortable seating and a couple of bartenders behind the counter. Good beer selection mostly on cans, as well as thc-laced food. Settled on an IPA ($7) and took a seat at the corner. Not much else to say here, the place had some good music, wasn't too crowded, and the ladies behind the bar were super nice. Parking wasn't hard to find (right in front), and they have a front deck for warmer nights. Well worth a visit for a chill nightcap.

    A very cute, chill space with a great sized patio for outdoor or indoor enjoyment. The bartenders are always very nice and they often do pop ups with local chefs for food service. They have a ton of different options with N/A drinks as well plus right next door to Huddle so great for grabbing some ice cream too on a hot day.

    My friend found Two Birds while looking for a place for a pre dinner drink. Located in east Detroit, the bar is a part of a revitalized business block. The bar is one half of large converted houses, sharing a large patio with Mumma Maria's. While all of this does mean there's going to be hipsters, it appeared to have good mix of patrons (including others like us pre reservation for dinner) and managed to mostly maintain a neighborhood bar vibe. I'll give part of the credit to the bar tenders, who were cool while attentive and friendly. The drink menu had a good variety, cocktails (and a couple mock tails), wine, and beer. We were particularly appreciative of the aperol spitz, highly recommend as a light summer drink, and that they had orange wine. The bar does not have a food menu, but has pop ups and different food trucks.

    Creamy vanilla and pumpkin spice sweet treat was a fun pre-dinner snack.

    We were going to be very early for our dinner reservations so we decided to meet up at Two Birds for pre-dinner drinks or desserts. Two Birds is located in one of several buildings that look like family homes, with its grey vinyl siding, bright white trim, and wide porch. Next door was a pasta place (Mumma Maria's House), also with outdoor seating. I was enjoying the cool autumn weekend, waiting for my friend at one of the picnic tables on the porch and noted the neighborly atmosphere. There were friendly nods and impromptu conversations in a laid-back atmosphere. I had a vanilla and pumpkin soft serve while my friend had a lemony cocktail. I loved the pumpkin spices in my pre-dinner treat (I only had breakfast) and my friend enjoyed her cocktail. The wide porch was a comfortable place to enjoy the early evening hours. Service was quick and friendly

    Before coming to Two Birds, I did some quick research to get a feel for what I should expect... I saw only 5 star reviews! I'm here to tell you, they're well deserved. Two Birds is exactly what I'm looking for from a good bar experience. Low key atmosphere, with a good selection of drinks, assortment of seating options, cool staff, and great music (the music... allow me to wax poetic in a few moments). I stopped by Two Birds on a Sunday night and it was empty when we arrived, but fairly full by the later portion of the night. I think most folks know this is a great place to hang out, and they've built themselves quite a crew of regulars. The menu of signature drinks has some great options, and you'll likely find something that piques your interest. If not, not to worry! There's a full selection of wines and beers (and a great section of non-alcoholic beverages too!). The prices are reasonable, and it's the perfect place for a date night. Additionally, I believe Two Birds does different pop up food options -- while I was there, they'd had Hand Pies as the food of the evening, and I'll just say that the Hand Pies were just fantastic. Alright... as promised, the music. The music at Two Birds was so fantastic that it felt like they were playing a playlist curated exactly to my taste, with a mix of songs from various times in my life that were influential and really brought me back to some great memories. Extremely impressed with not only their choice of songs, but also their capability to structure the music flow in a natural and joy-inducing way. Of course, all of this is subjective, but objectively, I (obviously) have great taste in music so it must mean something :) . Overall, I'll say you should check out Two Birds if you're looking for a cool spot to hang out in Detroit -- you won't regret it!

    Dope vibe. Patio seating. Also there's indoor bar seating. They have some small edibles (handpies)which reminds me of hot pockets but it's good. Bartender is super chill..

    Craft Cocktails & Family Atmosphere If you've been meaning to go to Two Birds, but haven't yet made it, get out of the house & go! Located in a small house-like setting near Sister Pie & Marrow, Two Birds is a warm, cozy bar serving unique craft cocktails. We had a few drinks & then walked to Marrow for dinner. The Heat - Spicy !!! In the family of a spicy margarita. Refreshing & my favorite!!! Spruce - whiskey, averna, pineapple & rosemary - something a little different than a Manhattan. It was excellent. Escape - smooth & tropical - leblon cachaca, cocchi americano rosa, orange, pineapple, cava bubbles Great little gem in Detroit!

Nate and I stopped in on our most recent visit to Detroit and had a lovely experience. The space is tucked away but had a surprising amount of outdoor space--we were there in January but I'd love to come back in the summer. We were greeted right away and given a spot near the bar. The menu includes cocktails, lots of wine, and several tasty food options. It was quite busy inside, so it took a bit of time for our server to come over to us, but we weren't in a rush. They had ten cocktails on their list and I tried the bullet proof soul and Nate got the negroni alla perra. The ingredients list for some of the cocktails include things I've never heard of, but at a place like this, I just know it's going to be good. Our drinks were perfectly balanced and very tasty. We also ordered the mortadella sandwich to split--this was delicious. It was pretty messy, but worth it. It was perfectly toasted and full of mortadella. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I would love to try more of the food options. Can't wait to visit again!

There were friendly patrons all around and we chatted with other bar admirers. We checked out the coffee shop, Warda, but didn't purchase anything then, but have had several of their desserts since then and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere is wonderful, indoor/outdoor bar, great outside seating - not sure how this will work in the winter? They also have very pretty stone paths with multicolor stones mixed in for a very peaceful beautiful look. It inspired me to add some multicolored stones to my garden! I can't wait to return.

Between the two of us we had the beet salad, burger and steak tartare. Burger was good, but not the best smash burger that I've had. Beet salad was fine, however the cream cheese was a bit overpowering against the orange oil. It was dying for some citrus. Steak tartare was a bit dry, meaning that a small dab of olive oil would have added to the richness and overall mouth feel. I did not really taste the egg although I did see a dab of yolk on the tartare. Needed a bit of salt also to enhance the taste Menu was small, but it did cover a cross section of French bistro dishes. All in all, I thought it was a bit overpriced. So I will have to consider returning for a full meal. I would come back for a burger and beer at the bar.
