Located in the historic Whiskey Factory, once home to Goebel’s Brewery and Stroh’s Ice Cream, Detroit Spirits creates small batch artisanal whiskey, gin, and vodka using ingredients from local farms close to their distillery and tasting room located at Detroit’s famed Eastern Market. This trendy, speakeasy-style cocktail bar and distillery is a gathering place for the revolutionaries who are rewriting the history of our great city and the people who support them.
Co-owner J.P. Jerome credits his strong bonds with his seven business partners as one of the primary reasons for their success. All of the men have been friends since childhood and he says that their common bond has been key to their ability to work together as a team.
The group of creatives behind the distillery aren’t afraid to take risks, either with their cocktails or decor. For example, if you order Topsy’s Revenge on the current Weiss in the Wild menu, you’ll be served your drink in a literal elephant glass while enjoying a soundtrack of flora and fauna. They’re also experts at detail. From staff safari hats to collectible coin-like flora and fauna, you’ll be immersed in the theme even before you order your cocktail.
The trend towards more unique and experimental bars in Metro Detroit isn’t new, but few are as inventive as Weiss Distilling Co. With a rotating theme every few months, the rookie Downtown Clawson cocktail bar has established itself as one of the area’s most creative and fun places to visit.
