South of 9 Mile Rd.

A modern take on the corner bar. Tall windows surround the street-facing walls. Pendant lights illuminate the dark brown interiors, wood block bar, pool table and furniture designed by local design firm, Context Furniture). Weekends draw a regular crowd of area-locals that gather to be a part of the scene which is part Banana Republic, part Gap, part vintage resale. High quality bar food lines the pages of the menu. There are also veggie offerings and house made desserts. Try the beef and fried okra salad. Brunch is an option too, where the vibe is very mellow and relaxed. For more diners' reviews go here.
