Occupying the place vacated by the first licensed bar in Detroit-the Woodbridge Tavern-Stinky Rose Restaurant and Martini Bar opened its gates in 2005.

Be it snowy Detroit winters or pleasant summers, the ragged restaurant seems one which initially draws scepticism while entering. Regrets will be none when one leaves, as the food, drinks and music make up for it.
