Ferndale Restaurants Public House and Antihero on Nine Mile Sold to One-Eyed Betty Owner Brian Kramer and Kramer Restaurant Group in Metro Detroit | Eater Detroit

"I confirmed Public House was officially sold to Kramer Restaurant Group after months of speculation: licensing applications showed a transfer of ownership to an entity registered to Brian Kramer, and owners Sharon and Perry LaVoisne later announced the sale on social media and to the Detroit News despite initially denying it. Public House had been temporarily closed amid verified allegations from former employees accusing the Working Class Outlaws group of fostering a toxic work environment and ignoring accusations of racism and sexual harassment; those claims contributed to temporary closures and staff upheaval, including at least five bar-team resignations and the resignation of operations manager Jeff King, and Public House remained closed during that period." - Beth McKibben
