100 Proof Grand Opening: A Night to Remember (or Not)

Updated: Aug 1, 2025


Last Friday, we officially opened the doors to 100 Proof, our brand new private event venue tucked just above the distillery in Eastern Market and let’s just say, Detroit showed up.

This wasn’t your average ribbon-cutting. We poured cocktails, gave whiskey tours, served up smoked meats, and let people explore the space that’s about to become the new go-to for weddings, parties, and all things over the top.

✨ The Highlights:

  • 🥃 Signature cocktails featuring fan favorites and sneak peeks (yes, Hot Honey made a cameo)

  • 📸 A very photogenic arrangement of flowers

  • 🧀 Grazing tables that deserved their own press release

  • 🎤 And a room full of Detroit’s finest — customers, friends, and people who we wanted to give a sneak peak of the space!

We designed 100 Proof to feel like an extension of the distillery with just a little more polish, a little more glam, and a whole lot more room for trouble.


💬 What’s Next?

The venue is now open for private bookings. Whether it’s a wedding, product launch, or just a night with friends that deserves more than a basement bar — 100 Proof is ready.

Visit detroitcitydistillery.com/100proof to schedule a tour or get in touch. You bring the crowd. We’ll bring the booze.

Wow, sounds like an absolutely electric night for 100 Proof! I can only imagine the buzz. It’s fantastic that Detroit really came out to support. It got me thinking, have you considered how you'll be documenting future events? For capturing special moments like this, I've been playing around with Omni AI Video and it's surprisingly easy to create polished clips from just text or images. Keep us posted on more events!

Wish I could’ve been there — the Hot Honey sneak peek and those grazing tables sound unforgettable. Detroit really showed up for you all! By the way, I keep a free transmission fluid reference guide I like to share: https://transmissionfluid.net/

I see Hot Honey made a cameo at the opening; that sounds like a perfect addition to the cocktail lineup. By the way, if you ever need a creative visual to match your event's vibe, an ai music video generator can help craft something unique.
