Private Events
Evening Bar is a modern hotel bar discreetly tucked away on Shinola Hotel's ground floor with access through Parker's Alley.
Private bookings are available for 15-40 guests for cocktail receptions Sunday-Thursday evenings.
The space is designed by Gachot Studios, featuring low-slung sofas and lounge seating with mercury glass throughout, carefully configured for intimacy and comfort by the fireplace. A back-lit cocktail bar envelopes the space in a warm glow, with a custom-designed églomisé mirror influenced by the historic murals of old Detroit. Carmellini’s menu of bar bites reflects his market-driven principles, seamlessly complimenting the cocktail menu, which emphasizes artisanal and local distilleries, organic fruit and vegetable extracts and a studied approach to classic recipes.
Please inquire via the form below for our Sunday-Thursday private event bookings and minimums.
