The bar was built using repurposed wood from homes in Detroit. Several of the other elements of the space, including wall panels and the chandelier were built using reclaimed or vintage materials. Much of the décor and artwork reflects the throwback/vintage mentality.
General Manager Michael LaBranche has great expectations for the space. “We’ve got a good room here, and now that the weather is warming up, we’ll be able to utilize our outdoor seating,” LaBranche says. “We want to be the destination that keeps people from the area in the area, instead of having to drive elsewhere for a good drink selection and meal.”
Chef Travis Waynick will update the original menu on a regular basis. Waynick was a Corporate Executive Chef with the Matt Prentice Restaurant Group.
