    Great ambience. Circular Cement bar is beautiful. Delicious cocktails. A nice collection of various spirits. Whiskeys and Gins are very good. The mixologist who served up was personable and explained and made great cocktails.

    This was my first visit and will not be my last. I was expecting a large room with lots of tables and a huge crowd, but I was pleasantly surprised at what greeted me when I opened the door. There is a large round cement bar in the center of the room with ample seating. There is also a limited number of tables surrounding the bar. The bartenders there were friendly, knowledgeable, and were able to make great suggestions. While I wouldn't recommend showing up with a large party, it's a great date night drink spot before or after dinner.

    Pain killer cocktail

    Super delicious cocktails!!! I really liked the Pain Killer. The rum and nutmeg really made my day. I also ordered another tasty drink that had rum, black tea, cinnamon and more. Excellent service from Sean. Thank you! Located across the street from Supergeil, on Michigan Avenue, in Corktown, my friends and I came here after brunch. Ample seating at the bar and tables around the room. Relaxed and casual vibe. Spacious interior. Really fun afternoon! I look forward to returning.

    Two James Spirits is a Detroit staple. It is located in the heart Corktown next to the train station, attached to Cork & Gable. The entrance is on Michigan Avenue. Inside you will find a round bar, cozy and quaint. The cocktails are served up stiff & tasty with amazing knowledge by the friendly staff. Grab a bottle or two of some delicious Dr Bird Rum or some Gale Force Gin- so light & citrusy! Be sure to swing on thru this amazing spot while in Corktown. You will leave happy!

    The drinks here give you a whole different feeling of intoxication. It's nothing like the liquor that's mass made and sold. I was very surprised at the tastes and smells what I all tried. I'll say my #1 favorite was the rum. I have never smelled or tasted anything like it. And it's At 114proof (Navy Strength) I ordered the jungle bird drink which contains pineapple rum. To me the drink smelled like acrylic nail salon and cherry lipgloss. Alone, the bottle itself smelled like straight nail salon. The ambiance was really nice, and the chocolate I tried with my tasters were amazingly paired I had a great time and would definitely come back. Service was fast and every drink samples was greatly explained! Would definitely recommend.

    A pleasant tasting room. The room is comfortable and inviting. The cocktail offerings are varied and use Two James Spirits. The Peated Bourbon was the favorite product. The pours in the flight were generous.

    Solid place to grab cocktails in Corktown. Came on a snowy night and it was warm and welcoming. A few tables were filled but not loud at all, I really appreciate bars where you don't have to yell to talk. Ambiance was ok, just brick walls with no art. They have a selection of different whiskeys and a variety of cocktail options. I ordered the 'All that Glitters' rye whiskey cocktail--glitter sprinkles are pretty gimmicky, but it was a strong drink. They have DJ nights and offer tours and merch of their brewery right next door. Bartenders were fast, friendly, and helpful. There's paid street parking directly outside and all along Michigan Ave and side streets (depends on day and time). It was nice to stop in to try out, but there wasn't anything special about this place that makes me really want to go back.

    Custom cocktails from the bartenders

    This is the perfect place to enjoy 1-2 cocktails before or after dinner in corktown. They have a wide variety of spirits to choose from and the bartenders are true mixologists- they can make anything based on your likes and dislikes in a cocktail. I always stop into Two James when we are waiting for our table to be ready at a restaurant nearby. They sell all of their distilled spirits so you can take some home with you. They make great gifts too!

    I attended a Yelp event tonight, but I have been here numerous times over the ten years they've been open. The location is amazing next to the newly renovated Michigan Central Station. The service is always quick and friendly. I enjoyed the cocktail I purchased as well as the thoughtfully paired selections of Two James Spirits and DWAAR Chocolates. We ended up purchasing the Gin that is for anyone who hates gin. It tasted like 7up and I could totally just sip on that. We also got the Coffee Chocolate from DWAAR. I totally recommend both of these businesses and would you encourage to visit the Distillery for a few cocktails. Next time I think we will check out their restaurant across the street.

    No frills bar. The B.A. Old Fashioned is one of the best I've had. Rachel was absolutely great and knowledgeable.

    Detroit City Distillery - Walk Without Rhythm cocktail (Frozen Pineapple)

    Great spot! Came in on a special event and it was PACKED!…read more Everyone was so attentive and kind despite being over ran by drunken detroiters suffering from the winter blues. It is the first warm day in months and between the sunshine, the booze, and the music everyone was just vibing! Such a cool spot with great food trucks and speciality drinks. I want to come back when it's not slammed and take it all in

    Outstanding distillery tour! The tour experience which include a well made tasty welcome cocktail…read moreis followed by a fairly in depth walking tour through the distillery followed by a fairly wide open and long tasting of all the spirits made at this facility. The tour is quite educational and fun and starts with the history of building and the story of six childhood friends who decide to start a distillery as adults, almost upon a whim, during a get together. American dream is alive and well folks! As part of this tour you will see the full process From the mash bill, to fermentation, through the distillation process, barrel storing/aging and finally end up in the bottling station. A full in depth explanation of how to make Bourbon from start to finish is given during this tour that I found truly fascinating and quite educational where I was quite impressed how they accomplish all this in a fairly small footprint. Tour aside, Detroit distillery makes some seriously good Bourbon, Vodka and Gin. They currently have 1500 barrels in Storage with an ever increasing distribution which speaks volumes on how well this small distillery is being received by the public and the quality of their liquor products. Overall if you are into Bourbon and have ever wanted to learn first hand how it is made and having the fun of a tasting integrated into the experience, THIS IS A CAN'T MISS tour you should actually do. And at roughly a $20 cost this is a great value on top of everything else. Five stars in my book all day long!
