Lost River
4.5 / 5 (1342 reviews)

Description

Lost River is a compact Detroit tiki bar offering theatrically crafted, potent cocktails in distinctive glassware amid immersive, swampy décor—netting, fog machines, lamps and kitschy props—ideal for date nights or lively hangouts. The rum-forward menu and creative presentation impress, and parking is convenient. Expect a small, cozy space with limited seating; service can be slow and some guests note occasional odors or cleanliness issues. The venue doesn't serve food (patrons may bring their own), and special glass/ice requests aren't always accommodated.

Atmosphere is fun, small space with small tables. Drinks are served in fun containers with tiny rubber ducks on top haha just wish I would have gotten more substance for the price.

Went on a quiet Thursday night. Our waiter was Amelia. Very pleasant. Drinks took about 10-15 mins to get all 4 made. They were delicious but way too much ice. I wanted to order another round but when I asked the bartender if they could do less ice or use regular glass cups I was told no (with no explanation or solution) . I know it’s a tiki bar but I am very particular as a ND I like regular glasses to see my drink. I’d go back and maybe speak with a different bartender. I love the decor and vibe! They didn’t have food but Amelia said we could bring in food. Next time that’s the plan. Check them out!

This was a cute themed place. It was nice to visit, but I wouldn't return. I may bring others here who are visiting the area. The drinks are sweet. The service was wonderful though. The old fashioned was my favorite drink, but it came filled a quarter high in a regular cup. A smaller glass would make more sense. The Jet Pilot drink on fire is pretty cool. The cutter was sweet and tart not my favorite.

Perfect atmosphere and drinks. Hannah and the staff do a great job welcoming all! I would love to see a bloody tiki or michelada addition, a michelada and I'm liable to be in daily.
