Mutiny Tiki Bar in southwest Detroit to close, owners say

Southwest Detroit’s tropical cocktail spot appears to be saying it’s last call, and hopefully, someone continues to carry the torch for the Mutiny Tiki Bar.

Owners of the bar said in a social media post on Monday that the Polynesian-inspired party at the tiki-themed watering hole was ending. The bar is located at 4654 Vernor Highway near Clark Avenue.

“Friends, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Mutiny Tiki Bar,” the post said. “For nine incredible years, you’ve filled our space with laughter, music, celebration, and community. We are endlessly grateful for every visit, every toast, and every memory made under our roof.”

The post said the last day of service will be March 1. The owners said it’s no longer possible for the bar to continue operating under its current business levels.

“Please join us in the coming days to raise one last glass, share your favorite stories, and help us send Mutiny off in true tiki style,” they said. “Thank you for being part of our journey— it has meant more to us than words can express.”

The owners could not immediately be reached for comment Monday.
