The Vineyards – closed

DetroitYES forums say it’s gone now, and describes how the stone walls and arched ceilings amplified the sound. The restaurant's heyday was in the 60s, but quality declined by the 80s.

Aerial view on Google Maps of what was The Vineyards shows the location is now an office complex, no stone turrets or vineyards to see.

This drink was a standard offering at restaurants in my youth.

• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 1 tsp. superfine sugar
