This place was awesome. We sorta just stumbled upon it and found out they had just opened. Josh was an amazing bartender—so friendly, and the cocktails were delicious. Great vibe. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Detroit!
I’ve watched Luka work so hard for years and it’s amazing to finally see him achieve his dreams! He’s been passionate about bartending, the history of all types of alcohol, and the art of making cocktails for so long that a bar was the most obvious next step. He also has been very vocal about how important it has been for him to make a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community. I do not drink often, and I’m pretty picky when it comes to cocktails but I seriously haven’t been able to stop raving about how good the cocktails were!! I had the Daddy’s Good Boy and Miso Horny and they were so good, plus a ball buster shot which was really fun. I was able to try sips of the other drinks too and they were amazing! It was great vibes when I went, and can’t wait to see how it grows! I know some events will be coming eventually, which Luka is great at so stay tuned!!
You wanna do a gay Detroit gay bar. Hire the ones that used to do it.
