How to Celebrate Juneteenth in Detroit | Eater Detroit

"Opened on Juneteenth after pandemic delays, this 1,830-square-foot east-side Detroit lounge celebrates community resilience and joy with a new back patio for expanded outdoor seating and DJs spinning for special events. Owner Portia Powell weathered repeated COVID shutdowns, a loss of investor confidence, and limited access to relief funds by pivoting to takeout entrees and cocktails-to-go; word-of-mouth, ticketed trap-and-R&B brunches, and popular items like a lobster burger and a seafood combo helped sustain the business. The anniversary celebration spans afternoon into midnight with cornhole and spades games, gifts, a photo booth, and an emphasis on restoration and freedom tied to the Juneteenth holiday." - Monica Williams
