The Skip worked with Mother of Pearl Flower & Design and Art Problems Studio on the new design.
It's keeping its $9 "Skip Favs" drinks and frozen cocktails, but adding a section of $12 "fancy drinks" that'll come in interesting glassware, the release said.
Hours are 4 p.m.-midnight Tuesdays-Thursdays and Sundays, and 4 p.m.-2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
The Skip's food cart is serving burritos for $10, tacos for $4, a $9 roasted-chicken empanada and a $7 salad. It will serve lunch May 31-September.
The adaptable bar became a Christmas tiki-themed spot the last two holiday seasons, Eater Detroit reported.
It is from the team behind Standby, also in The Belt alleyway between Broadway and Library streets near the Z Garage parking deck.
