“ This cute little gem deserves its flowers. Willow is a vibe. From the beginning of my experience Willow exceeded my expectations. The security team, hostess and bartenders were friendly, personable and vibrant. This quaint, speakeasy is perfect for a solo date, sneaky link or a girls date. The drinks are careful crafted and delicious. The pricing is a bit higher than I anticipated. ”
“ Came here for a post dinner cocktail and had a great experience. We did come on the early side (8:30pm) but loved the vibe and the cocktails were unique and delicious. We also trialed the mocktails which was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend and will be returning ! ”
“ Love this hidden Gem in downtown Detroit. The servers were extremely fun / helpful and very professional. Although they all were amazing one bartender really stood out and went above and beyond for my wife and I, his name was Chris and he was amazing, you can tell he's very passionate about his job and did a great job walking us through the menu and recommending some amazing drinks which made our experience even more enjoyable. The drinks were very creative and extremely flavorful. Love the entire vibe of this establishment and will definitely be back and recommend to all my friends / family. ”
“ It was quiet when we went on Friday evening, but everyone was nice. They were sadly out of the one food we really wanted to try, but The Goat cocktail made up for it. I'm always happy to try something a little more unique that ends up tasting just as good and better than widely-loved classics. I'd definitely go back to have it again. ”
“ As a devoted cocktail enthusiast, Willow Detroit was high on my list—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the inventive drinks to the attentive service and chic interior, every moment spent here was a delight. The Goat and The Elephant Tree cocktails were standout favourites. I can’t wait to return! ”
“ Very nice speakeasy for a date night. Hidden entrance but knock and someone will open. Beautiful candlelit seating, the bar has a tree, drinks are very balanced and made super well. Must go! ”
“ First off all cocktails were 10/10! Food was very good as well when we got it. The decor was very cool and the vibe was very chic & lowkey. Loved the tree in the inside. I would say for a Saturday evening they were understaffed & not very attentive because of that. My friend & I had to wait a long time in between table check ins and it was to the point where I almost felt like I needed to walk out at the end because of such a long wait. Staff was very friendly though when we were finally taken care of, so this would be my only gripe. ”
“ Better than a classic speakeasy; elevated drinks and atmosphere. Mind the alley and look for the RING. You made it! ”
