PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Ash FiteLove this dig! Cool coffee house with craft coffee, food, games and cocktails.
The staff was especially friendly. We had our kids with us, and Everly (our 7 yr old) asked a barista if she liked dragons, the barista responded and was all ears and questions after that, more than just a kind tolerance of Everly’s excitement of dragons. It was sweet.
Attached is a neighboring tap house called Beer On the Wall. There’s a window to order coffee/drinks from either side which is really fun in itself. Didn’t go into the tap house but it looked rad as well.
Parking wasn’t particularly plentiful but we found a spot close by without much effort.
2. The Wedge Pizzeria
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteRecommended this place!
3. Standby
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteWe came here for a team dinner after an event weekend in Detroit. The dinner menu was quite small, but the craft cocktail menu was really great. It was perfect for what we were wanting. I recommend the carrot/hummus flatbread!
4. The BELT
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteThis is such a photographable space! It is a culturally redefined all that is home to murals and art installations by local, national and international artists. There is also a handful of bars/restaurants with great atmospheres to enjoy.
5. The Brakeman
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteMars and I came here with coworkers after an event we helped host in Detroit. You purchase tokens per drink at the door, which was a little odd but fine. They had local craft beers and cocktails available as well as a to-go chicken spot, which I heard was delicious, but I did not get to try it. I also saw some younger kids running around, though they did ID all of us at the door.
6. Empire Slice House
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteRecommended this place!
7. Queens Eleven
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteRecommended this place!
8. Frothy Monkey
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteWe love this all day cafe on 12South. They serve food, coffee and wine daily. Food/drinks are made from scratch and their coffee is ethically roasted! ❤️
