Highland Park Opens First Bar in Decades
Quote:
As WDET previously reported, it’s been decades since anyone can remember a bar in Highland Park. That is changing tonight with the official opening of Woodward Ave. Bar & Grille.
George Smith is one of the managers of the establishment. He says the upscale sports bar and music venue will fill a void in Highland Park.
“It means that our people, people in the community, don’t have to go downtown to have somewhere nice to sit and have a drink or listen to some music,” said Smith.
Woodward Ave. Bar & Grille (not to be confused with an iconic Detroit gay bar of a similar name) is owned by Lawrence J. Johnson, a longtime Highland Parker and crane operator at U.S. Steel. He bought the building in 2017 and did most most of the renovations himself.
The space includes a pool table, a small dance floor and outdoor patio seating. Live music will be Wednesdays and DJ nights will kick off with “Thirsty Thursday” and run through Saturday.
