A new twist to happy hour has arrived in Metro Detroit titled “Conversations With Kevin Tolbert.” Conversations is a weekly event on Tuesdays during the summer that mixes conversations with politicians, business owners, and community leaders with incredible venues, food and drink specials, and good times.
