Explore Detroit
Kiesling
One block from the venue! Really cool historic bar that's been there since 1890!
Castalia at Sfumato
The best drink experience of our LIVES! With every drink, they serve it with a paired, scented perfume-sprayed napkin. You can also buy any of their perfumes or they have a whole library of cocktail recipe books.
The Monarch Club
A really cool rooftop bar in downtown Detroit right next to the historic Hudson's site. You'll definitely need a reservation here but if you're cool with hanging outside then they'll let you in!
The Brakeman
Looking for a sports-bar-ish type place? This is our version. You purchase tokens at the front door that turn into either cocktails or beer drinks. In-house is Penny Reds, a chicken spot with some great food!
Evening Bar
A speakeasy bar located in Downtown Detroit. It's behind the Shinola hotel and you should enter through Parker's Alley, just look for the huge vault door! Try making a reservation or sit at the bar rail.
Queens Bar Detroit
This is where we always go to drink after work. Great spot and it's always packed.
Warda Pâtisserie
The best little breakfast pastry place in Detroit, inspired by the Chef's Algerian background!
Babo
Great for brunch and close to the Detroit Institute of Arts! Will need a reservation likely.
Joe Louis Southern Kitchen
Never tried it ourselves but we hear this is great for brunch!
James Oliver
Great for bagels and coffee!
Milwaukee Caffe
In the Milwaukee junction area right by the wedding venue!
Madcap Coffee Company
A really great coffee place in a renovated alley downtown!
Roasting Plant Coffee
You must try their almond croissant here, warmed up! Andrea gets it almost every day since she works across the street in the Rocket Mortgage building.
The Block
They have a really good chicken caesar salad! Great spot to grab food right on Woodward Ave.
SheWolf Pastificio & Bar
Great Italian place!
Detroit Shipping Company
A cool spot made of shipping containers that houses pop up restaurants and an in-house bar.
La Lanterna
Really great pizza and pasta place downtown!
Green Dot Stables
This place offers mini sliders galore and the best mac and cheese with funny noodles!
BARDA
A new Peruvian restaurant in Southwest Detroit. THE SECOND BEST FOOD EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES. First place is McKay's Public House in Bar Harbor, Maine. :)
Takoi
Get the Promises in Vortex drink if you love mezcal!
Ottava Via
Such good pasta, appetizers and mocktails!
