Great service good atmosphere. Special thanks to Shaun our waiter who was very attentive to our table and ensured everything was to our liking. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and took the time to explain when we had questions. He was fabulous! You guys lucked out with him!

The bartender/host Shaun is the main reason I come to candy bar. He’s attentive and gives the best suggestions for drinks whenever I come in. He always gives stellar service.

The service was amazing!! The drinks are a bit expensive, my friend and I got a drink we weren’t very fond of and the staff was actually so sweet about helping us find the perfect cocktail for us and I really appreciate that. The atmosphere is beautiful!! They have little snacks which is nice and tasted yummy but the cheese and crackers are $15.. lol but definitely still a cute place. 10/10 recommend going and make sure you book a reservation!!

Didn't expect how small this place is. Felt very cramped and that our neighbors were sitting on top of us. I think it's an OK spot to grab a quick drink with a friend but would avoid for the romantic evening or a date. Definitely recommend a reservation and even then prepare to wait and be asked to leave at the end of their alloted time. Drinks were just ok, nothing special. Our server was very pleasant.

Beautiful bar and atmosphere! Very attentive staff, cool menu that changes with exceptional knowledge. Lots of options and definitely something for everyone! Great for photos and a night starter or finisher!

I stopped by here for a night cap after a concert, and yes, the prices are a little steep, but this is like a boutique bar. The service was beyond exceptional. The atmosphere... I felt like I was in a some kind of hybrid of White Stripes video's and a Stanley Kubrick movie. It was so cool and low-key at the same time, and warm. The hanging chandelier. The benches. The circular bar. Bench seats. Empire lamps. The servers were like actors in a movie, and I felt liked I was sitting in an imagined version of the future taken from the past. It's be a great setting for a neo noir film. And the quality of the drinks? Impeccable. If you need a night cap and are comfortable to the rates, it is certainly worth it.

Quintessential Detroit, I had such an amazing time having a few espresso martinis and a micro of super high in bourbon the bartender josh is Super professional enjoyed the cocktails thank you so much. I suggest everybody checking this place out when they visit Detroit.
The atmosphere is amazing. The drinks are delicious no matter what you get. The people working there were so professional and kind! I think Sean and Eric were our bartenders - they can make some GOOD drinks. Shouts out! We got an Espresso Martini, a Whiskey Sour (with egg white), a Paper Plane, and the La Ofrenda. It was all expertly made!

Went here twice and loved both visits. Alec behind the bar was such a treat recommending drinks both on & off the menu. Such a cute little space with a beautiful chandelier. Very good date spot.

Mixed emotions, the experience started off well at the Candy Bar, we had a reservation for 16 people which was nice they accommodated that size , the stipulation was we had a designated amount of time we could stay. With that being said the service was slow, we didn't mind too much because we understand we had a big group at they still had to service others in the bar. The bartenders themselves were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Sean in particular was great! So nice. As we got near the end of our time there we had about half of us still ready to order another drink (as I mentioned service was slow) and with half of us drinkless and 10 mins left from the time they said we could stay the hostess requested us to leave. It was a very disappointing response when we were all actively drinking and spending money, in-fact the supply could not meet the demand. We even stayed in the hotel for two days so we were very surprised by the response. I don't anticipate a return trip.

The vibe is superb! I love a spicy margarita. Asked the bartender if he would make one. He went on an impassioned and detailed explanation of his process in preparing the habanero tincture. Best spicy margarita I've ever had! I love people who care enough to obsess about whatever they do! Exceptional!

I understand this place makes curated drinks but when you order you should get what you want on 2 occasions instead of getting me what I ordered I was told oh I did this to make it better I don't like that give me what I ask for. The place is tiny pretty dark and tight
Parking: The building does not have a sign so I rode around looking for the place and because it's downtown there isn't much parking especially on the weekends so valet is best option
