| - Are you a fan of ABC the Tavern? How can you not be, right? Well, you undoubtedly will become an even bigger fan of ABC's sister bar, XYZ the Tavern, upon your first visit - I know I did.
Conveniently located right next to the Cleveland Public Theatre on West 65th and Detroit, XYZ is bound to be everyone's new favorite neighborhood bar, even if they're not from the Detroit Shoreway.
With approximately 25 craft beers on tap, XYZ is a beer snob's dream come true. Whiskey lovers will be ecstatic when they peruse the selection of single malts, Irish, and rye - as well as the bourbon and scotch. For the wine enthusiast, there are some nice options as well.
The bar is warm and inviting and the servers are eager to help - while at the soft opening (which was packed) I was very impressed with the bartenders' ability to quickly acknowledge and complete the customers' requests. It was as if the bar had been open for years - the bar was operating seamlessly and it hadn't even opened officially!
XYZ also offers an eclectic food menu. We sampled an array of appetizers, like: hummus & pita, mini corn beef sandwiches, chicken & waffles, bruschetta and crostini. All were delicious - fitting of a bar yet slightly unexpected.
With all of this said - I am already looking forward to returning next weekend. An absolutely wonderful addition to the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood.
