Detroit’s Temple Bar closed after building partially collapses
(CBS DETROIT) – Detroit’s historic Temple Bar is closed indefinitely after its building partially collapsed Friday morning.
The bar’s owner, George Boukas, confirmed that a portion of the bar collapsed onto the sidewalk at about 10 a.m.
It is unclear what caused the building to collapse, but Boukas said multiple agencies were at the bar assessing the damage.
This comes ahead of the Movement Music Festival this weekend, and the bar was scheduled to hold an event Friday night featuring several DJs, including Beewack, DJ Caro, Kandylion, Mickey Perez, Shigeto and more.
“I’m sorry,” Boukas told CBS Detroit about the event that had to be canceled this weekend due to the building collapse. “Everyone have a safe Movement.”

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
