Detroit’s Best Bars for Craft Cocktails
Craft cocktails are all the rage the world over and Detroit is no exception. Chic watering holes have been sprouting up all over town, from Downtown to Corktown to the city outskirts. Bartenders have made it their duty to create specialty drinks out of housemade or high-end spirits and customers have rejoiced. The jury is still out on who crafts the best drinks but you’ll have a fun time deciding your favorite in a city where drinking is a spectator sport.
