Lost River

Such a hidden gem. Hannah was bar tending and she really knows what she’s doing and is super nice and helpful. I had a great Mai Tai [what I always get first at a place I’ve not been before so I can compare them fairly] with lovely decor in the drink. They have a signature mug [props for that!] and a nice menu of standard tiki drinks. The best part is that each drink is served in a classic tiki mug with plenty of extra decor to add a very festive atmosphere. Just looking at all the mugs they use to serve in was a treat. I’d love some type of bar snacks, even Chex Mix, just to have some nibbles, but that’s a minor point. I sat next to a couple of people from North Carolina who also seek out tiki spots when they travel, and since Detroit is still building its tiki audience this is a welcome spot that I highly recommend. Support tiki in Detroit! Don’t let the outside fool you - basically a black front with a neon sign above the door, but nothing else that draws you in. Just a few tikis, or some string lights to call attention to it would be great. It has a very friendly, inviting vibe. All in all a great addition to Detroit!

Very good service. Awesome selection of classics and orginals. Very fun staff and very friendly. Would recomend!

Great tiki bar. Amazing drinks, great vibe - they clearly get how to do a modern tiki bar in Detroit. Feels like a tropical neighborhood bar. Parts of the old Detroit bar are preserved, seems to a good mix of locals and visitors. The staff is the best part. They know tiki, know rum, have unique specials that usually appear for just a day or two. Wish they had more space, but can't ding the spot based on the building/capacity. Hoping to see more great things out of this place in the future!
