See all- Midsummer Night Drinks & Potions at The Black Salt with Optional Late DinnerThe Black Salt Bar, Hamtramck, MI
Let's celebrate Midsummer Night's a couple days late by joining us at the Black Salt Bar. After some good times at the Black Salt, we will head down the street to the Yemen Cafe.
From their website: Not so long ago, many of those who invented and used spirits were called witches. Using knowledge of the physiological effects and metaphysical properties of ingredients, they created drinks, or potions, that transformed a person’s reality. Today, we use these same practices to create cocktails with intentional purposes. Pairing cocktails with spell processes, we use magick to conjure all kinds of experiences.
Price: individual drink purchase
Bar Website: The Black Salt
Optional Late Night Dinner: Yemen Cafe - so we all can have yummy bread, garlic sauce and food.Suggested Dress Code: Smart casual, smart summer, gothic centric

About the Murder Mystery Weekend
This invite comes from somebody with murder on their mind. Your invitation promises plenty of excitement and intrigue. However, beyond the glitz and glamor of this event lies something more sinister.
You and your party play the detective in this interactive game of mystery and murder behind the closed doors of Grand Hotel. Investigate the scene of the crime, interrogate suspects, and solve a murder. This one-of-a-kind event promises to be nothing short of a “Grand” ol’ time.General Schedule of the Mystery:
- Upon check-in, receive your first packet of information and clues. Friday is the kick-off performance, which sets the tone of events and when the first murder takes place.
- On Saturday, there is a brief gathering with the Detective, who explains the hunt for clues. (This also allows you some time on your own to enjoy the beauty of Mackinac Island and Grand Hotel.)
- Come back on Saturday afternoon, when Act II is performed and another murder takes place. The evening concludes with three interactive mysteries, where guests in different groups will be rotated into the mystery experiences.
- Sunday morning the mystery is solved!Projected costs based on this year's prices: Projected 2025 Fall Murder Mystery Costs
