Ladder 4 is a wine bar in a historic firehouse where we explore the complexity and culture of wine and food. Ladder 4 was built in 1910. It was designed by Chittenden & Kotting, architects known for residential design in Indian Village as well as the Belle Isle Boat House. Both Engine 10 and Ladder 4 companies had been located elsewhere in the city and relocated to Vinewood and West Grand Boulevard when their original locations were demolished due to growth in the city. Ladder 4 was closed in 2000 and Engine 10 was closed in 2012. The building was sold to the Cadariu brothers in 2015 and restoration work began in 2019. Since opening in February of 2022, Ladder 4 Wine Bar has achieved recognition as the Detroit Free Press Restaurant of the Year in 2023, one of Bon Appetit’s Best New Restaurants of 2023 and a spot on the America’s Best Restaurants of 2023 list by the New York Times.
