Restaurants are Breaking Up with Delivery Apps. Are You? (Plus: Is Detroit's Tiki Bar Era Over?)

Today, we are at the table in Techtown for a fast‑moving conversation on how Metro Detroit goes out now.

We start with the closure of Mutiny Bar and ask if Detroit's modern tiki bar era has quietly ended, even as tiki continues in places like San Diego and Palm Springs.​

Norris shares a visit to Bastille Bar, praising it as a no‑frills "it's just a bar" hangout, while the crew argues that happy hour has effectively shifted to 3–6 p.m. thanks to changing work patterns and school pickups.

Devon then delivers an ode to the hotel bar via Four Vagabonds at the Dearborn Inn, celebrating it as a hub for travelers' stories and local recommendations.​

We close with a debate over whether it's time to ditch third‑party delivery apps like DoorDash. We saw a number of restaurants pull the plug on delivery services, so we're asking if you are, too.
