Taste the history. Toast to Revival
At Detroit City Distillery, we believe great spaces tell great stories and now, we’re writing our next chapter with 100 Proof, our newly reimagined event venue. Housed in the historic former Stroh’s Ice Cream Factory, this space blends Detroit’s rich industrial legacy with modern design, creating a bold, versatile platform for creativity, celebration, and community.
Our vision for 100 Proof is clear: we’re building more than a venue, we’re building an experience.
We see this space as a blank canvas for possibility. With its original mechanical bones and industrial charm, paired with thoughtful, contemporary finishes, 100 Proof is designed to host everything from elegant rehearsal dinners and welcome parties, to corporate gatherings, vendor showcases, gala dinners, and immersive pop-ups.
It’s also a home for one-of-a-kind whiskey-forward experiences. From barrel-thieving and bourbon blending, to cocktail and culinary collaborations that highlight the very best of what Detroit has to offer. 100 Proof is meant to be interactive, personal, and unforgettable.
We want this space to spark creativity. To inspire ideas. To be a place where clients, chefs, brands, and guests come together to create something original.
We’re proud to offer flexibility for clients to bring in their favorite Detroit restaurants, food trucks, or caterers, making each event not only custom to every client, but deeply connected to the city we love.
100 Proof is open to all kinds of events and audiences. It’s a home for both private celebrations and public connection. A place where art meets industry, and where the past, present, and future of Detroit all come together under one roof.

Everyone needs to check out this amazing new venue! It is a perfect spot to host corporate gatherings, rehearsal dinners, anniversary parties, showers, you name it! It is nestled ...
in a great location in Detroit with plenty of on-site parking, which is hard to come by. Within 100 Proof, you have the opportunity to utilize their Stave Cave for a private dinner or Add on a Blend Your Bourbon activation in the Classroom. If you love bourbon & Detroit, this is the next spot to host your event!

This place is AWESOME! Such a homage to the history of Detroit and such a cool, eclectic space. The cocktails are top notch, the tasting room is incredible (with a tie to when Stro...
h's had to make ice cream instead of beer!) and the small and large dining spaces are perfect for events of all sizes! Make sure to take time to look at all the cool bottles on the wall and the bar made from old whiskey barrel staves. A great multi-purpose venue for all types of events and all types of sizes! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
