SEASONAL COCKTAILS IN A MODERN HOTEL BAR
about evening bar
Evening Bar is our take on a classic, intimate hotel bar, discreetly tucked beyond Shinola Hotel's lobby. Chef and owner Andrew Carmellini taps local bartenders to offer an expertly-crafted cocktail menu emphasizing time-honored techniques. The menu features creative, multi-faceted drinks in shaken, stirred and session form accompanied by Carmellini’s menu of small plates.
We'll be on island time as Evening Bar transforms from sultry urban speakeasy to an island oasis known as Model T-iki. Sip on tiki classics with a distinct Detroit flair and snack on tropical-inspired bites while taking hiatus from today’s hustle and bustle. Model T-iki pays homage to Detroit’s rich tiki history and recalls a time when locals took respite from the everyday at beloved spots across the city. Join us for nightly tuneups February through mid-April

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.
