Hammer & Nail

A cocktail bar in Detroit's Midtown. Set on the ground floor of the restored Plaza Building, Hammer & Nail draws on the city's mid-20th-century cocktail culture and the building's history as the Professional Plaza office tower. The bar serves hand-crafted cocktails, including drinks made with rye, cognac, rum, mezcal, tequila, vodka, and pisco. Beer, wine, sake, and nonalcoholic drinks also vary. Period-inspired cuisine accompanies the drinks. Detroit Sushi is located at the back of the bar, with inventive rolls, sashimi, and nigiri selections, as well as an imported sake selection. The setting features floor-to-ceiling windows and walnut and leather banquettes, reflecting the building's mid-century origins.
