The vibe at High Bar is decidedly welcoming, intimate, and retro-inspired with a healthy collection of modern touches. Chat with friendly, attentive bartenders as you make your drink and small plate selections.
Cocktails and seasonal spirits certainly steal the show here. No matter how many times you’ve stopped by to sip a beverage at High Bar, you’ll always find something wonderful and refreshing to indulge in.
Opt for an old fashioned, keep it classic with a martini, or order the Just For Mary, which features vermouth, rye whiskey, orange bitters, and cherry heering. Alcohol enthusiasts will be impressed by the menu here.
Other selections include an array of dessert cocktails (including a delicious espresso martini) and more down-to-earth choices like cider and beer. No matter what you choose, your taste buds will thank you.
Round out your drinks with a charcuterie board, an order of king prawn, or a plate of raw oysters. If you’re looking for something sweet, High Bar even serves mouthwatering macarons and indulgent chocolates.
Of course, the views from the 71st floor are enough to keep you mesmerized as you sip spirits and enjoy a tasty appetizer. When you’re ready for a real escape, this Detroit bar will undoubtedly capture your heart.
