What to Expect
Cocktails First
Over 90 classics on the menu plus a rotating seasonal list. We serve bar bites to pair with your drinks — but for a full dinner, Corktown has great restaurants within a few blocks.
No Dress Code
Come as you are. You'll see everything from jeans and t-shirts to date night outfits. The only thing we care about is what you're drinking.
Conversation Volume
About 65 seats. It gets lively on weekends but it's not a club. Good lighting, good music, good conversation. You'll be able to hear your bartender.
Ask Your Bartender
Don't know what to order? Tell your bartender what spirits you like and they'll take care of you. That's what they're here for.
No Cover Charge
Walk in, sit down, order a drink. No cover, no minimum, no surprises. Just cocktails made the way they should be.
Open Since 2011
Detroit's original modern cocktail bar. Same building, same block, same dedication to the craft. We're not going anywhere.
