Father Forgive Me

The drink program is excellent, the beer-garden atmosphere is even better, and the whole setting—Adirondack chairs, lawn, skate park, gallery, sculpture park, old church—feels like Detroit using its imagination at full volume. I love this corner of the city and want to watch it keep blossoming.

Get a drink, claim an Adirondack chair, and let the whole Shepherd campus be the plan.

You want to show someone what Detroit can do with art, architecture, and a serious bar program.

You want a conventional indoor cocktail bar or a tightly scripted night.
