They had two N/A cocktails, one N/A beer, and several sparkling water options! I would recommend the High Vibrations N/A cocktail, very gingery and great for sipping while still being delicious. The Phone Negroni is a bottle N/A cocktail that I've seen at other places, it is tasty, but you're missing out a bit on the cocktail-being-made-in-front-of-you experience. Thanks for having great N/A options!

Cute! Cute! Cute! Love the atmosphere. Went there for drinks with my (grown) kid! Had a nice time catching up while enjoying very tasty beverages! Would recommend. We did not eat—only had a couple drinks so I cannot speak on the food.Parking: I would imagine parking could be difficult but we got there before the crowd. We parked on the street.

The atmosphere is dark and mysterious, like a speakeasy with a modern twist. It's the kind of place where you go in for one drink and end up with a new favorite cocktail.Pretty packed on Saturday nights.I have no idea why I never see anyone utilizing the outdoor space in the back, but it's so cute.This is also where I discovered by all time favorite food truck, Belly It!, so it's not just a night option! Come any time!

Conflicted about writing this review since this place has so much going for it but things aren't going like they used to. First, as of right now, you seem to have a 50% chance of having your window punched out with their street parking only. Not their fault but time to install better lighting and surveillance (my friend's window was punched out last night and I was surprised mine wasn't given glass every 10 feet on the curb). Second, the service has always been friendly but be prepared to wait for your beer or cocktail on a Friday/Saturday night. Just let the bar back serve Black Label or High Life. It takes zero skill. Have loved this place for YEARS but I think their bubble might have burst. Lucky for them, a few less suburban hipster in the near future.

Please make sure to add this to your list if you're in Detroit next time. This is such a great place for some handcrafted cocktails. Love the ambience in here. Service is so quick and the drinks are pretty reasonable.

Romantic atmosphere and really nice vibe. There is a very long bar with nice lighting. Service is excellent! The drinks are good, fun place to go prior to an evening event. Love having so many cocktail bar choices in Detroit!

Great side room with sofas etc. With a German name I wish they had more German bier.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kiesling Bar in Detroit, Michigan, and it was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was immediately struck by the welcoming atmosphere and stylish decor. The vintage and modern elements blend seamlessly, creating a cozy yet trendy vibe perfect for a night out with friends or a date with that special someone.But what sets Kiesling apart is their talented bartender, Mickey. He's an expert mixologist and a fantastic conversationalist who knows how to engage his patrons. His impeccable service and ability to craft delicious cocktails make the experience unforgettable. And the fact that Kiesling uses fresh ingredients in every drink is just the icing on the cake.The music selection is also spot-on, providing the perfect backdrop for a night of relaxation or lively conversation. I enjoyed sipping my cocktail while chatting with my cousin and other patrons while soaking up the inviting ambiance.Overall, I can't recommend Kiesling Bar enough. It's a hidden gem in Detroit that deserves to be discovered. If you're looking for a fantastic night out, be sure to put Kiesling Bar on your list. You won't regret it!

Top tier cocktails, great crowd, funny place to get around because it’s far from the downtown crowd. It’s in the bowels of Milwaukee junction, with an amazing interior with several rooms for your group to have a near private setting

Definitely a hidden gem, right around the corner from my house. I never even knew it was here. I believe it was an old house that was refurbished into a bar with multiple rooms and a patio. Great drinks, friendly bartenders. Definitely a hipster vibe but still nice and lowkey.

So this joint is great. It has a good vibe, awesome bartenders, great ambience, plenty fun seating, is just good all the way around. It's really a spot that you would not know was there if u weren't looking for it. The bar staff was great. Everyone was mad nice and gave some good suggestions. Got a few shots from the bartender just because we had some great conversation.They have a good set up, seats at the bar and couches for larger groups. They also have an outside situation, if you wanted some air. They don't serve food.. well kinda, they have a gourmet grill cheese menu. I tried the pimento one and it was super good. They back there cooking cooking. So they will make sure to not have you drinking on an empty stomach. Overall, if I still lived in Michigan I would definitely go and try it a lot more and maybe even make it a spot to frequent consistently. I enjoy my experience that much.

My friend and I stopped in to Kiesling on our way to an event at the Russell Industrial Center on Friday night. We were greeted by the doorman and immediately drawn in by the rich history and architecture. The crowd had a subtle hipster vibe but also included families. I sipped on the Joint Pet Custody cocktail - tequila, basil eau de vie, pineapple, ancho reyes, ginger, and salted lime. I neglected to snap a picture, but it had great presentation! Each drink on the menu had a fun caption, and as a fan of Bravo tv, I loved the nod to Andy with the Watch What Happens Five.
