A new bar with "High Spirits" is coming to Downtown Detroit.

As Opening Day faded into the night, I noticed a vacant commercial space in Downtown Detroit come back alive as the new High Spirits bar soft opened.

The façade of the bar facing Lafayette Blvd.

Located in the old Garden Pub space (also known as St. Brigid's Bathtub Pub) between Lafayette Gardens and Lafayette Coney Island, the interior of the space has chic vibes without being overly dapper.

Owner Nick Kefallinos told me the grand opening is aimed for the middle of April.

Inside High Spirits

Because of the limitations of the building — High Spirits will be drinks only, and might partner with others for food.

Located at 125 Michigan Avenue in Detroit, they have an Instagram you can follow.
