Thrillist names Sweetwater Tavern at 400 E. Congress as one of the 21 best places in the U.S. to get chicken wings:
A Bricktown institution housed in one of the Motor City’s oldest buildings (well, at least the original location is -- they’ve got four now), Sweetwater ditches the practice of offering a bajillion different sauce options to specialize in only one, and it’s frequently heralded as Michigan’s best wing.
Using meat straight from the Eastern Market, each wing takes a 24-hour marinade bath before arriving at your table cooked to perfection: not too saucy, with spice, salt, and vinegar permeating every bite.
