An ode to Hudson’s

Pine Hall, a cocktail bar and neighborhood tavern, will be Union Square Hospitality Group’s (USHG) first project in Detroit. Located on the 12th-floor rooftop of the Hudson’s Detroit building, developed by Bedrock, Pine Hall marks USHG’s debut in the city following its expansion announcement late last year. The bar is slated to open this spring. Pine Hall pays tribute to The Pine Room, the iconic wood-paneled restaurant once housed in the J.L. Hudson Department Store. The reimagined rooftop bar will offer sweeping views of downtown, including Comerica Park and historic Woodward Avenue. Guests can expect strong cocktails, cold beer, and a classic tavern menu designed for everything from quick stops to game days and lively nights out. The beverage program highlights Michigan spirits and regionally sourced ingredients, drawing inspiration from Midwestern craft traditions. Offerings include updated historic cocktails like The Final Countdown, a modern take on The Last Word, alongside drinks such as the Lemon-Lime Spritz. Non-alcoholic cocktails, a curated wine list, and a robust local beer program complement a food menu of familiar favorites, sharable bar bites, and comfort-forward mains. “Pine Hall is a neighborhood bar worthy of becoming a destination,” says USHG Founder and Executive Chairman Danny Meyer, “a locals’ joint that fits whatever the moment calls for.”
