Entry No. 8 — the Detroit file — filed under: speakeasy

Bad Luck Bar

Tucked away in a dark alleyway, this ultra-exclusive, 20-seat speakeasy requires guests to find a locked gray door marked with a snake and a hand, then knock or call for entry. Inside, a moody, hexagonal-ceilinged room sets the stage for some of the city's most theatrical and rare-spirit-forward cocktails.

The move: Sip on a cocktail set aflame over pebbled ice while sitting under the dim, mystical lighting of this hidden alleyway sanctuary.
