Detroit, MI 48201
(313) 832-2700
Pear and fig pizza? GET IT. GET IT NOW. You're not near by, you say? Then drop what you're doing and drive over there right now and order it. It's so delicious. You won't regret it. I can't even handle how good it is.
Tried it for the first time last…More »

2. Cork Wine Pub
What's that high pitched sound you hear? Oh that's probably me whining in pain in Dearborn post a tummy busting and fabulous meal out at Cork tonight. First off--champagne punch! Rum, champagne, and other sweet liquors and served with a lemon.…More »

Categories:
Sushi Bars,

I LOVE sushi and Crave has pretty good sushi. They've got some inventive rolls (with a Mediterranean flava), a decent selection of traditional rolls and nigiri, and a wide variety of tasty sounding non-sushi entrees and specials for those afraid to…More »

You AUTTA get to the Aut Bar! (Zing!)
They've got a lovely patio for the warmer days (although as it begins to cool down they've got some fire pits going. Love!) which is the perfect place to sip their excellent mimosas over a leisurely brunch. They…More »

Time to kick this up to 5 stars. Another awesome meal at Roast. This time I went with the filet mignon with the crab béarnaise on top. The steak was perfectly cooked, juicy yet lean with amazing flavor. The béarnaise was creamy and rich with…More »

Categories:
Lounges,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown Detroit, Greektown
As my profile states, I like to move it, move it. And movin' it at Delux Lounge is pretty darn easy. The sectioned off portion of the dance floor is the perfect space to get your dance and party on while you toss back a few drinks. The DJ, while not…More »
8. Atlas Global Bistro
Still one of my favorite eateries in Detroit and I'm totally bumping it up to 5 stars because they've been consistently amazing, the staff is awesome, and it's never so crowded that I feel uncomfortable or rushed. The cocktails here are amazing, the…More »

9. No. 308
No. 308 popped by frothy egg white beverage cherry. Yeahhh! I never knew how much that added texture can bring to a beverage. Those cocktails? They were the bomb. Great combination of flavors and you can tell they put a lot of thought into their…More »

Gin fizz! With egg whites! I'm so happy to see you in Detroit!

Confession: I don't like cigars.
It's just not my thing. So I wasn't sure what to expect when I popped in here for an event. What a wonderful surprise! I loved it so much in there that I didn't even mind all the cigar smoke!
The first floor is smoky…More »
12. Wolverine Brewing Co.
Came here for a baby shower recently and it was a great time! Unfortunately it was during the middle of a snow storm so I couldn't stay terribly long but it was a cool space. I think it used to be a warehouse of some sort because it's got really high…More »

14. Reserve
HOLY MOLY.
Best meal I've had in a really long time. Hands down. My ass was severely kicked in the best way possible thanks to Reserve, their yummy food, wine, and awesome staff. Huzzah!
I had always loved Journeyman in Fennville and was really sad…More »
15. Founders Brewing
It's no surprise that Founder's churns out a great brew. I've certainly had their beer at many fine establishments around Michigan but a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting the brewery itself in Grand Rapids.
The space is HUGE and for a…More »

Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: SOMA
The W Cafe was a bit crowded this time around since they're doing some work on the lobby but they saved my starving tummy on more than a few occasions so I can't be mad. It's actually a pretty nice space and I love the fireplace for sitting near and…More »

San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 874-9183
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Hayes Valley, SOMA
I don't need a lot when it comes to a bar. Good beer on tap, a nice selection of the harder stuff, and a chill atmosphere with sweet tunes. I don't think that's too much to ask?
And yay for Buck Tavern who deliverers this in spades. It wasn't…More »
20. Dam Site Inn
GET READY, FOLKS! I'M GONNA TAKE YOU TO HELL!
Hell Michigan, that is.
Hot damn (zing!) if you're a biker or like biker bars then get thee to the Dam Site Inn. The jukebox is loud and usually plays metal, there's a rowdy group of regulars, a sweetheart…More »
21. The Keg Steakhouse and Bar
I have some friends spending the summer in Windsor so I've found myself at the Keg for late night cocktails and dessert a couple of times in the last few weeks and I have to say--I'm a fan!
The patio is wonderful. They have a beautiful view of the…More »

Mount Clemens, MI 48043
(586) 469-0917

TWO PAGES OF MARTINIS! Yes, they offer up TWO pages of signature martinis! And let me just tell you--they are delicious. I spent the evening here a few weeks ago during a mixer to promote an upcoming flick "Crazy Stupid Love" and they had some great…More »
23. New Center Park
What a lovely spot for a movie!
Came here most recently for movies in the park and it was awesome. Super well manicured green space with a slight hill around a fancy stage (great for music as well as movies) makes for the perfect spot to chill out for…More »

Yum yum happy hour in my tum tum!
Stopped in here for a super hot minute yesterday to grab a quick bite as I was running around. It was the PERFECT spot for such an occasion but also a great spot for a more leisurely meal with cocktails as well. I…More »
25. LUNA
I have to say I can really get behind any club that segues from La Bouche to Technotronic on the dance floor. I was in 90s heaven! Whomever was playing the music the night I was there was a hoot. From a block of top 40 hits (Usher and the like) to…More »
26. B Nektar Meadery
I love bees. I think they're the most fascinating, brilliant creatures. I also really love honey. Not just because it's sweet and delicious but also because it's made by these little striped powerhouses I love so much. So, being that I love bees and…More »
27. Meadow Brook Music Festival
Don't let the name fool you, this ain't no festival. But rather a killer music venue that has amazing shows throughout the summer months (I guess that makes it a summer festival of sorts but....). I've been here a number of times but it had…More »
28. Zukey Lake Tavern
One of the best views + beers in the area! A lovely bar/patio overlooking Zukey Lake. What could be better on a warm summer night? Not much! (Just bring the bug spray).
Admittedly the food isn't the best I've ever had but this isn't a gourmet…More »

30. Mission Table
Full disclosure--I haven't had a meal here but I still had a wonderful evening that I will remember fondly!
Came here still totally full from a crazy brunch so despite the fact that we had planned to sample some food and everything on the menu looked…More »
31. Right Brain Brewery
Right Brain is fun because in addition to some inventive beers they're also a really chill spot to hang out. I feel like it's more of a coffee shop than a bar and I like that about it. I mean, who wouldn't want to hang out at an awesome spot filled…More »

When we rolled up to the Bay Leaf I ended up one of those folks that I cringe at--someone who walks in right before close.
I know, I know, but I had just been driving for over 4.5 hours, my windshield cracked during the drive and I was tired and…More »

Bless the organizers for putting together such a wonderful weekend year after…More »
34. Torino Espresso Bar
After another visit I have to 100% recommend the Torino platter which is the chef's selection of meats, cheeses, veggies, fruit & accompaniments. I wish I could remember exactly how many of each kinds of meats and cheeses came out to our table but…More »

36. The Bar At 327 Braun Court
I have to admit I haven't been here during regular business hours but I was here during a NYE party where they had the regular cocktail menu and I was definitely impressed. The space isn't all that fancy just a nicely (if sparsely) decorated spot…More »

A gorgeous theatre in the heart of Downtown. I've been here a number of times and not just for shows--parties, special events, and of course those wonderful operas and musicals that come through. The building has amazing acoustics, every show sounds…More »
38. Wagon Wheel Lounge Hotel
I came here the other night for a booze fueled karaoke night for my friend's birthday. We took up half the bar and they couldn't have been nicer or more patient, especially after we ordered plate after plate of waffle fries (HOLY COW THOSE WAFFLE…More »
39. Woodruff's
One of my favorite places to see a show, for real. From the cozy atmosphere (I love a bar with lots of wood detailing), the fun decor (JFK cross-stitch, I'm lookin' at you), great line up of some of my favorite acts from around metro-Detroit, and…More »
