21 Best Wine Bars in Detroit

“Amazing anniversary dinner there and did not disappoint!! 5 stars and we will be back.“

“Ladder 4 had a great atmosphere, it was warm, not too loud and clean. Loved the old historical firehouse, I believe they said 100 years old. Started out with a glass of champagne and Alison, the bartender, was amazing and so kind, she also helped us pair some delicious wines with our entrees. We had Chelsea as our server and she was so nice and big smile. Now the food, was DELICIOUS! I don’t think I’ve ever had duck that tasted so moist and almost steak like. The trout was so buttery and soft and we were surprised with the endive and jamon appetizer, mouth watering. Overall great experience and definitely planning on coming back. We did take the bosque cheesecake home and had it the next day and it was very good!“

“The Royce is a wine bar with an absolutely fantastic vibe. Their menu is easy to understand as it goes from top to bottom light to heavier. Im a tannin based wine drinker so the deeper and richer the better. This spot also has light bites, great decor and plays Disco. The kind and welcoming Joe from NYC was fun and taught us the menu effortlessly as we are always doing ‘research’ with our wines. Bobby knows everything to do to make your time here in Detroit fancy and fantastic. Thank you Joe and Bobby for making us feel like locals. We will be back and looking forward to trying more of your wine selection.“

“Had a great time last night at Brix. The customer service was phenomenal and the food was amazing . I had a strawberry tequila lemon drop and it was absolutely amazing !!! The ambiance and location are the best !!“

“Authentic, delicious and friendly people, super recommend“

“DTW - Detroit Airport - Great place to hang out before boarding. Wine, food, snacks and all other kinds of beverages.An oasis of sorts in one of the lesser traveled concourses at DTW, (Concourse C). Prices are not out of line for wine and food. Also worth noting is that the bartender is far from "awful" (as previously reported). The one that was working when we were there was exceptionally pleasant and working the entire front end all by herself.“

“Had my first experience traveling through the Detroit Airport and discovered the best place to grab a bite - Vino Volo!!. Made a point to stop back in on my return flight and Blanca not only recognized me, but remembered my name. So nice when traveling alone. The whole service staff is attentive and helpful. And then there's the food! All freshly prepared and so much better for you than most of the other heavy greasy options. On the way in, I had the cheese plate, on the way back, Brie and Prosciutto sandwich with side salad. Both were outstanding. The wine selection was not only good, but they had several flights which was a fun option. The vibe is fun and friendly - good music and solo travelers feel welcome. And as always, it the little things that really top it off, plenty of outlets to grab a charge and the staff offering to fill up water bottles. I only wish this place was in my neighborhood - I'd be a frequent customer.“

“We are vegetarian and tried most of the veg options on the menu. We loved the gnocchi and petite salad. We also tried the potatoes and sweet potatoes which were both good. The bread and butter were yummy. Mocktails were ok but not my favorite. Service was spot on. Highly recommend.“

“Wow. What an absolutely fantastic final dinner of 2023! After we managed to find a late dinner reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a relief to discover that our excitement about the tasting menu was well-placed. I would definitely recommend the drink pairings as well! The amuse-bouche featuring oysters from the West and East coasts was a delightful way to splash into the meal. The wasabi and the mangosteen featured in each of the oysters, respectively, complimented the beautiful brine of the oysters in such a wonderfully playful way. This first tasting urged us to pause the menu progression and order an extra dozen oysters to explore the other possibilities. Tasting from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island, they were beautifully prepared and of excellent quality. The first course of lobster salad felt like a summer in Maine. Not that I've ever been to Maine, but the imaginary scene flashed across my vision as I took that first refreshing bite. The grapefruit emulsion worked almost majestically with the light, refreshing flavor of the lobster salad. The tapioca chip was perfect for the crunch to fully bring the different elements of the dish together. A fascinating intersection of refreshment and comfort. The second course was the potato pavé. I'll be thinking of this potato often for the foreseeable future. It was one of those dishes that makes your eyes pop open a bit when you bite it as you realize how good it is. A beautifully layered and seared rectangle of flaky delicious potato resting with a lovely salsa brava speckled with trout roe, topped with tarragon, cured trout, and black truffle flakes. I don't even know what else to say. It was stunning. Sea urchin buttered ramen, the third course, will always be what I wish my at-home thrown-together ramen could be. It was rich, it was luscious, it was comforting. Growing up in southeast Texas, crawfish boils were always some of the most exciting times of the year. The crawfish tails in the ramen brought me back to those summer days eating crawfish with a cold beer. The duck breast for the fourth course was exceptionally cooked. It was juicy and flavorful and made a perfect bite with a bit of cauliflower, raisins, apricot, agrodolce, and foie-sauce. Each bite was such a symphony of flavor that kept me coming back. Last but absolutely not least was the gâteau ardéchois: the chestnut cream cake. Accompanied by cranberry coulis and crispy meringue bites, this dessert was a sweet but still mellow finish. While the coffee mascarpone ice cream was a robust and complementary flavor, we both agreed the vanilla coconut ice cream was the star between the two. Thank you again to the stellar crew at Mink! Happy New Year!“

“A very well curated selection of wines. I don't always come for the entertainment (unless it's Miguel Migs), but to purchase wine and every single time it's been superb. For example, MCW had Georgian wine, very few people know how good it is. I can't recall how much I spent, but the flavor was brilliant. I prefer MCW for wine by a parsec rather than a grocery store.“

“Amazing, 5 stars all around !“

“Great bar and very friendly people here. The neighborhood is such a great place!“

“I like to thank the staff at Andiamo especially Thelma who was our server.. Also, thank you Mike for stopping by to see if everything was good. Im glad that we had chosen that location to celebrate Rosalyn birthday“

“I visited this past Valentine’s Day weekend and visited again this past Saturday night. I didn’t have a reservation but still got seated very quickly. It was a hot, muggy night and the hostess said she had a seat on the patio which I was fine with. I had a magnificent server, Florence, who was kind, thoughtful to recommend a drink to the person I was with and even when our drinks were brought out within a short time, apologized for the delay (which wasn’t necessary). I wish I could give a review on the party next to us because they were extremely rude, not only not giving consideration to others being on the patio but were also incredibly rude to Florence. One woman in particular was grandstanding in front of this group and demanded to speak to a manager. Florence and the Manager were both composed and dignified in spite of a rude patron that was looking to get her bill comped (for a party of nearly a dozen people) going so far as to threatening to have everyone at her table write a terrible review. I have worked in the service industry and so have so many people I know and love so this situation had me worked up and I felt it necessary to write a review that our experience was magnificent. Don’t be an a-hole to servers of any kind just because you’re an a-hole yourself. If you give respect, you get respect. Go to The Sugar House. Be a good customer.“

“Yes, but - the order and pay by phone ruins the overall experience of Mudgies. Can’t ask an app about the menu. Spent 10 minutes looking on the interface to order an ice tea. Figured it was my lack of finding the menu. Had to flag someone down to learn they were out of ice tea. All those things a server would tell you. But alas you don’t get. So good food, crappy experience! Lower your expectations, taking on the McDonald’s approach, sad really. Oh and if you want an item on the side they charge extra for that?! And with this order system no one asked me how my lunch was- or if I needed anything. So my sandwich was cold and sat awhile before it was quickly dropped at my table. I am so bummed - loved this place. The good news is there are now a ton of amazing options for lunch in Corktown. I recommend tipping much less because you are really on your own.“

“I stopped in for the 1rst time Superbowl Sunday & enjoyed a fried turkey chop dinner w brussel sprouts & fries. Surprisingly delicious., I'll b back for 2nds soon. The staff was great w good positive energy & the music & sound system was bumping. Definitely good times happening on the Eastside of Detroit.“

“We really enjoyed our brunch. The staff was great and the sweetest people. I loved the Jammie eggs and the preserves.“

“New Restaurant in Hotel Indigo. With a full bar and tap beer.“

“I've frequented the Library numerous times but recently visited the restaurant twice this month with friends -- and it just gets better and better. Our server Jonathan S. was not only friendly and welcoming but extremely knowledgeable about the menu, history of the building, and on-site offerings such as the upstairs cigar and billiards lounge. Had the most luxurious ribeye and octopus of my life. Detroit Club is quickly becoming my favorite place in the city.“

“If Katrell (Pineapple Daddy) wasn't here...I wouldn't make it a mandatory location. He makes sure my party is happy and that everything is everything. The food is excellent and the service is as well!“

“A excellent experience just a special occasion birthday today I just cannot believe how amazing my meal was every bit of. It was well worth it. Excellent atmosphere. The service was fantastic. I look forward to coming back soon.“
