Detroit Michigan - places to eat and drink near downtown

here is what i have come up with from about an hour of clicking on google and looking at the uploaded pictures.


Bars:
Harry’s Bar
Café D’Mongo’s
Jacoby’s
Sweetwater Tavern

Mid Tier Eating:
Apparatus Room
Vertical Detroit
Wright & Company
Leila


Look good:
Ochre Bakery
Marrow
El Barzon
La Dolce Vita

I’ve been to Sweetwater. Nothing special and pretty down to earth. Are you going to a game? There’s a lot of bars/restaurants around the stadiums (all of the stadiums are together). Greek Town is another nightlife/party area. I had a lot of fun when I went to Detroit. Downtown is fairly small and walkable. I never felt unsafe.

Sorry I’m not much help. We kind of just ate where we ended up at the moment. I mostly came here to say if you’re in that area you have to go to the Henry Ford Museum. It’s better than any museum in D.C.

Cafe D’Mongos is an awesome bar. Two James Spirits is also cool.

Food:
Slows BBQ (completely illogical, I know, but it’s legit)
Ottova Via
Takoi
Grey Ghost

Seldon standard and Wright and Co are okay, but they’re trendy so you’re over-paying, IMO
