Lost River
Detroit, Michigan, United States
Lost River was a tiki bar, opened on the east side of Detroit on June 8th, 2018 by owners Karen Green and Matt Mergener. The space was dominated by a vibrant black-backgrounded mural of tropical blooms along one wall by Detroit artist Ouizi. There were hanging wooden lights by Bamboo Ben, and another wall was covered with fish nets and colored "float" string lights. A menu of both classic and original tiki drinks were served in tiki mugs.
On Facebook, Lost River announced that June 18th, 2023 would be their last day open, celebrating their 5th anniversary and saying farewell to the bar with the public.
After this, there are plans for a grand re-organization of the space with a film/photography theme in mind. However, it appears they may still use the Lost River brand for merch, and for pop-up bars and to serve to-go cocktails.

A night that we live in for me, the night Jason and I saw The Lonely Island in concert at Fox Theatre. Proceeding that musical occasion was a visit to lost River tiki bar in Detroit. Truth be told, it was not in the best part of town however, once we got there, a tropical oasis awaited us featuring fun drinks. Jason also began the tradition of his of sending a drink back. Jokes aside a fun night and a great way to get us ready for the Concert

Fantastic bar. Vibes are great, drinks are better, and the bartenders are extremely knowledgeable. They definitely love rum and are passionate about what they do. Highly recommend!
