WOW, just wow. The fact that they have a place so incredible like this in the heart of downtown Detroit is so special. It makes you want to live here! The views are beautiful, the cocktails are good and the dimly lit atmosphere at night is absolutely romantic. From the moment you walk into the building you are engulfed with incredible views of a historic building preserved and maintained to show its original excellence. Walk up to the concierge desk where they will tell you to take the elevator up to Kampers and you won’t be disappointed. I wish it would have been warmer weather for a romantic rooftop experience- next time! This was all around, my favorite experience in Detroit.

Of course Kamper’s is five star. On one of the top level of historic Book tower, it offers small plates, drinks, and panoramic views of downtown Detroit. Everything was so good. Food was fresh, house cocktails were on point. Bartender/server is very knowledge of their menu and provided recommendations. Styling of the lounge is warm and comfortable. And of course the skyline is immaculate at night.
Usually they need a reservation but I walked in during middle of winter where it was 10degree outside so there were not a lot of customers.

Super beautiful view!! Kampers is in the lovely book tower with plenty other places to check out but this one is a must. The staff members we met from the hostess who escorted us to the elevator up to the rooftop, our waitress and the bartenders were all lovely people. Drinks were good but the show stopper is definitely the view and atmosphere .

Kamper’s feels like a refined escape right in the heart of Detroit, beautifully set inside the iconic Book Tower. The space has a warm and inviting charm, blending elegance with comfort in a way that instantly puts you at ease. The views from outside are impressive and make the experience feel special, even if you step out briefly just to take it all in. Every dish and drink feels thoughtfully prepared and satisfying. What truly elevates the visit is the attentive and friendly team, whose positive energy makes the entire experience memorable. Definitely a place that leaves a lasting impression and earns a solid five star rating.

Came here with a group of friends to have tapas and cocktails. We made a reservation because of our group size(7). However, I believe they can accommodate couples or smaller groups without one. Love the ambience of this place. Sophisticated vibe which lends itself to any type of event, dressy, casual, romantic night with your significant other or just hanging out with friends or family. Ample indoor and outdoor rooftop seating. Umbrellas and fire pits with a beautiful backdrop of the city. I will definitely be returning.

Kamper’s Rooftop Bar is one of the coolest places to grab a drink in downtown Detroit. Located on the 14th floor of the historic Book Tower, it offers amazing views of the city skyline, especially around sunset. The atmosphere feels stylish and upscale but still relaxed.
I stopped by for cocktails and really enjoyed the experience. The drinks were well-crafted, and the menu also has Spanish-inspired small plates that are great for sharing. The outdoor seating area is perfect if you want to enjoy the view and the city vibe.
Overall, Kamper’s Rooftop Bar is a great spot for a night out, whether you’re meeting friends or going on a date. The views, drinks, and atmosphere make it one of the best rooftop bars in Detroit.

In addition to the amazingly restored, beautiful lobby of the Book Building that welcomes you from the sidewalk, making our way up to the Rooftop Bar was a delightful treat. Amazing staff and service from everyone we met, plus refreshing drinks and a beautiful view and ambiance that made for the perfect after work, chic R&R spot. I plan to recommend to all of my local colleagues!

The Kamper’s rooftop was something I had not been to because im usually in Detroit during the winter. It was such a pleasure to go finally. The decor is bold and warm complete with evergreen colored velvet curtains drawn open by guided metallic leaves. The skyline is perfection and so is the ability to look all the way up at to the top of the Book Cadillac Building in all of its glory. The champagne and cocktails are well priced and the bar staff incredibly welcoming.

Kampers is a gem. The Book Tower renovation is stunning, and the whole space has this unique, elevated vibe that makes the night feel special. The craft cocktails were exceptional — balanced, creative, and made with real skill . And the rooftop view? Unreal. It honestly beats the Vegas Strip ✨.
Definitely make reservations, don’t show up early, and be mindful of the timed seating — totally worth it.
But the standout of the night was Niles. His service was truly next-level: dialed-in, personable, and smooth from start to finish. His menu knowledge was insane, his recommendations were perfect, and he explained everything with confidence. And yes… the guy was straight-up dank in the best way possible . He brought his Grand Rapids flair right into the heart of Detroit and made the whole experience feel unforgettable.
