Welcome to the newest Eater Detroit Heatmap. While most of June's high profile openings have been postponed, several new restaurants opened, with beer and tequila lovers getting some great new options in the mix. Unlike that more stable of standbys, the Eater 38, the Heatmap aims to be more current as it catches wind of the newest, most popular places to eat and drink each month. The July map features several new spots, and two restaurants who have chefs earning some serious national attention.

The map includes new beer havens Ale Mary's Beer Hall, the long-awaited Atwater in the Park, and Downtown's newest hangout TAQO Detroit.

Did we miss your favorite new restaurant? Been somewhere else that feels worthy of high praise and popular approval? Drop us a note on our tipline or leave your thoughts below.
