The Parlor

Located in the heart of downtown Traverse City, Michigan, The Parlor is an old-fashioned craft cocktail bar that offers a unique and unparalleled experience. Our story began on December 5th, 2013, 80 years after the end of prohibition. We pride ourselves on our ability to transport our patrons back to the era of speakeasies and hidden gems, where the art of mixology meets nostalgia.
