Standby

Amazing bar! First time in Detroit we stumbled on this cool looking alley with lots of people and great night life. Saw this spot at the end of the alley and we had to check it out! Josh behind the bar served us some fantastic cocktails. Ask for The Last Word if you wanna taste a Detroit classic. Their drinks are crafted with some really unique flavors and the bartenders keep it entertaining. Definitely a place you gotta go! Drinks are strong, music is good, bartenders are dialed in 🔥

What a great find in downtown Detroit in Belt Alley. If you aren't familiar with this area it has beautiful art from around the world on the buildings in the alley. There are lots of dining and drink establishments to choose from, very cool very hip. Standby looks good, the greeters are friendly and the waitress was so thoughtful with her description of the menu and drink choices. The food is small plate , limited in number of choices but you should try everything that strikes your fancy, be ause nothing was a disappointment.

This place hits in terms of atmosphere, creativity, service (including knowledge of menu), taste, and price. Probably my favorite cocktail lounge in the metro area. Can fill up fast, so be prepared to wait on busier nights... Though I'd recommend a less busy time, which will allow you to soak up the very intimate experience more fully. They have some small plates, which are good but not great, but the drinks are the star of the show and it's what elevates them above their competition.

Great spot conveniently located in the Belt. This craft cocktail 🍸 pub has a speakeasy vibe but is very welcoming. Of course, the spirits are on point; the service is stellar.
