Discovering Detroit’s Hidden Gems: A Guide to the City’s Best Speakeasies

One of the most intriguing speakeasies in the city is tucked away in a basement of the US Mortgage Bond Building. This basement bar is actually built right into a 1920s-era bank vault.

It looks like a movie set for a bank heist or a seedy underbelly meeting place in a spy film. But there’s something more to this basement bar than meets the eye: The bar is so secret, you have to ask for an invitation to get in.

This hidden spot is actually located in a building that was owned by Harry Weitzman during the Purple Gang’s height and towards the end of Prohibition. Weitzman was a Russian-born Jew who amassed wealth and connections as a loan agent in the 1920s.
