Mutiny Tiki Bar in southwest Detroit to close, owners say

Southwest Detroit’s tropical cocktail spot appears to be saying it’s last call, and hopefully, someone continues to carry the torch for the Mutiny Tiki Bar.

Owners of the bar said in a social media post on Monday that the Polynesian-inspired party at the tiki-themed watering hole was ending. The bar is located at 4654 Vernor Highway near Clark Avenue.

“Friends, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Mutiny Tiki Bar,” the post said. “For nine incredible years, you’ve filled our space with laughter, music, celebration, and community. We are endlessly grateful for every visit, every toast, and every memory made under our roof.”

The post said the last day of service will be March 1. The owners said it’s no longer possible for the bar to continue operating under its current business levels.

“Please join us in the coming days to raise one last glass, share your favorite stories, and help us send Mutiny off in true tiki style,” they said. “Thank you for being part of our journey— it has meant more to us than words can express.”

The owners could not immediately be reached for comment Monday.

Chickens, geese found at vacant home after nonprofit reports them stolen

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.”
