1218 Griswold St
Detroit, MI

If you’ve ever wanted to try an experimental cocktail, Bad Luck Bar is a great spot for you. While the address shows it on Griswold St., the entrance to the bar is actually in the alley behind Bad Luck Bar off of State St. between Griswold and Woodward. A subtle gray door with a snake and a hand marks the spot, and the door remains locked. You must call or knock to be let in. The bar has a list of featured, original cocktails but also has a list of different spirits with some of the rarest in the world, which include the famous Pappy Van Winkle.

1400 Woodward Ave
Detroit, MI

While Evening Bar is inside the Shinola Hotel, right in the heart of Downtown Detroit, you go inside through a black door in Parker’s Alley and there’s one small sign that says “evening bar” with two eyes looking. With soft light, the bar’s interior has a great vibe with sort of a retro beer. They offer seasonal cocktails, as well as wine and a long list of spirits from across the country and the world. Try the “Old Caribbean” with aged rum, champagne cordial, mint, and angostura bitters, or the “State Fair” which is Michigan tart cherry bourbon and creamy lemonade.
