Castalia is an experimental craft cocktail bar located in Midtown, Detroit. Focusing on the harmony between flavor and fragrance, each of our drinks is paired with a scent from our sister company, Sfumato.
Walk-ins are welcome, and we also offer pre-paid 90-minute reservations.
...yet rarely are both approached simultaneously.
Written by co-owner Dr. Kevin Peterson, Cocktail Theory - A Sensory Approach to Transcendent Drinks is a detailed look at the theory and philosophy behind Castalia. Learn more and purchase through our sister company, Sfumato.
In search of multi-sensory harmony, Castalia serves cocktails inspired by Sfumato's entirely natural fragrances, alongside the scent itself.
In a sanctuary for the senses...
...the harmonies between disparate fields can be sought in an intimate space designed for conversation.
