Perhaps one of the most beloved patios in the city, MotorCity Wine is more than just a place to pop some serious red, white, or rosé. With ample seating and fire pits for chilly nights, MotorCity Wine often brings its frequent dining pop-ups and entertainment outdoors for a more intimate party with fresh air.

Mercury Burger
Old-school vibes meet modern menu. Mercury carries the classic burger, hotdogs and shakes, but its menu is also much more than that, with items such as the “Flint Burger” or “Murty-Bird” hotdog. The outdoor seating is very relaxed with picnic tables, brick flooring, and a graffiti-style mural on the building next to it. The atmosphere and food is what you need this summer.
