Café D'Mongo's Speakeasy is one of those legendary Detroit cocktail habitats. For a longtime now it has been a favorite haunt for stars like director Quentin Tarantino and actor Ryan Gosling, but the bar is something of a character in itself. The speakeasy features dim lighting, music-inspired décor, classic prohibition cocktails with a Detroit touch, and the ever-present proprietor Larry Mongo. D'Mongo's signature cocktail is the Detroit Brown made with Vernor's, whiskey, and bitters. Here are some moments captured by Eater Detroit's photographers on a typical Saturday around 10 p.m.
