5 Detroit Area Restaurant Closures to Know

The year 2024 has so far been a mixed bag for restaurants and bars in metro Detroit. Macro issues like changes in consumer spending have contributed to a dearth of diners at the area’s food and drink establishments. This shift has forced restaurateurs to search for ways to reconfigure their operations to be more efficient and to help weather whatever economic headwinds they may be contending with. Sometimes that means closing down — temporarily or indefinitely — until a solution can be found to realize sustainability. Here are five closures that illustrate the uncertainty involved in running a restaurant these days.

The Shutter, a regular roundup of Detroit and metro Detroit’s restaurant closures, is your resource to find out what’s on its way out. The list is by no means comprehensive. Have information on another closing? Send all tips to detroit@eater.com.

June 2024

MOHICAN REGENT — Capers (14726 Gratiot Avenue), famous for its steak-by-the-ounce pricing point on the city’s east side, announced earlier this summer that it would shutter temporarily for construction.

July 2024

CORE CITY — Detroit Institute of Bagels (4884 Grand River Avenue), the Core City bagel shop that flung open its doors in 2023 following its Corktown closure, is once again closed. This time, according to BridgeDetroit, the shutter is related to the resignation of much of its workforce after the business was sold to Detroit developer Philip Kafka by its original owner Ben Newman.

ROYAL OAK — The Morrie (511 S Main Street, Royal Oak), this music-centered restaurant and bar has closed and will see new life as Blind Owl, an existing New Baltimore establishment, according to a news release. Owner of AFB Hospitality Group, Aaron F. Belen opened the Morrie in 2016, but is shifting his focus on real estate development and renting the space to Blind Owl owner Nicolas Andreasson. The new spot will emphasize a fusion of Latin and sushi and is supposed to open sometime in September.

August 2024

DOWNTOWN — Hanah House (607 Shelby St #100), an Asian fusion-inspired restaurant that opened in 2022 in downtown’s Financial District, is reportedly closed permanently and is currently seeking investors to purchase the business. According to the Freep, the restaurant has been posting on social media that the establishment is for sale, offering few details beyond a call for potential buyers to message the team for more information.

SAINT CLAIR SHORES — Jamex Brewing Co. (21721 Harper Avenue, Saint Clair Shores) will close at the end of August. Citing challenges in the service industry, owners Jeff and Kat Kaye announced the closure in an Friday, August 9 post on Facebook.

Detroit Tigers’ Riley Greene returns from injured list for MLB Little League Classic

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene has been activated from the injured list just in time for in the MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Greene, who turns 24 in late September, recovered from a right hamstring strain and completed his rehab assignment. He will play in Sunday’s showcase game against the New York Yankees at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field.

It will be his first game for the Tigers since July 25.

TORK IS BACK: Spencer Torkelson reacts to his Tigers return: ‘I belong here’

Greene played in two games for Triple-A Toledo as part of his rehab assignment, both in left field. He finished 1-for-6 with no walks and a strikeout in six plate appearances.

The Tigers didn’t need to make a corresponding move when reinstating Greene from the injured list because teams get a 27th player for special-event games, meaning everyone else on the roster — including fellow left-handed hitting position player Zach McKinstry — is safe from a corresponding move until Tuesday.

A roster move will be needed, however, before Tuesday’s opener of a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

NEW KIDS: Why Tigers called up Jace Jung, Trey Sweeney: ‘6 weeks … better than 4 weeks’

For the Tigers, Greene is hitting .264 with 17 home runs, 51 walks and 109 strikeouts across 101 games in 2024, his third MLB season. His .842 OPS ranks 20th among 140 qualified batters. For his performance, he earned his way to becoming a first-time All-Star this season.

Greene is the Tigers’ best player on offense.

And he’s ready to play again.

Gio Urshela clears waivers

Third baseman Gio Urshela, whom the Tigers recently designated for assignment, cleared outright waivers Sunday. The 32-year-old has been placed on unconditional release waivers, a formality to being released and becoming a free agent.

Urshela, who hit .243 with a .619 OPS in 92 games with the Tigers, will be postseason-eligible if he signs with a new team by Aug. 31. He has participated in the playoffs four times throughout his nine-year MLB career, including three times with the Yankees.
