Our sits on the ground floor of the gloriously restored Plaza Building, where soaring floor-to-ceiling windows and warm walnut and leather banquettes are the backdrop for period-inspired cocktails and cuisine.
Bold Flavors in a Mid-Century Hideaway
Nestled in the back of the Hammer & Nail, Detroit Sushi offers an extensive menu of inventive rolls, sashimi and Nigiri selections. Come early, and stay late, to enjoy craft cocktails and an imported sake selection, in Detroit’s most authentic mid-century setting.
Reviving a Detroit Icon
Constructed in 1966 as the Professional Plaza office tower, the structure later became known around town as the “Hammer and Nail building” for its iconic neon sign—a series of hammers striking a nail at the top of its peak—and its origins as home of the Detroit Carpenters Union. Hammer & Nail pays homage to the building’s mid-century origins while restoring its famous sign to a place of prominence for all to see.
