An Underground, Elevated Craft Cocktail Experience in the Heart of Downtown Rochester, MI

Nestled in historic downtown Rochester, Michigan, our award-winning craft cocktail bar offers an inviting Prohibition-era atmosphere.

Located underground, we provide an intimate escape with hand-crafted cocktails for an elevated, unforgettable experience.

Timeless Charm

Celebrating the historic roots of our building, The Eastman is named in honor of Jefferson Eastman, the original architect and builder. This homage to history is seamlessly integrated into our modern speakeasy charm, creating a perfect mix of past and present.

Local Touch

We blend the elegance of an art-deco ambiance with the creativity of reinvented prohibition-era cocktail recipes, expertly hand-crafted with the flavors of locally sourced libations and ingredients.

Honoring Craft

With every drink we make and patron we serve we aspire to honor the past and inspire the future of our craft. Steeped in Detroit’s bootlegging heritage we do more than sling drinks we’re booticians of craft.

Our Ethos

Local proprietor Nathan Hamood, founder of Dessert Oasis Coffee Roasters, envisioned The Eastman as a unique and unforgettable cocktail experience to downtown Rochester. A place where the craft of inventive mixology is celebrated by the local community and shared with patrons from all over.

A curated selection of our signature cocktails and specialty drinks. We change our menus seasonally, drawing inspiration from the changing Michigan seasons, BUT ARE ALWAYS WILLING TO OBLIGE YOUR EVERY WHIM TO CRAFT YOUR DRINK OF CHOICE.
