Karaoke, vegan pies, shuffleboard, fireplace, and patio seating

























"This casual hangout, a longtime favorite of Cass Corridor residents and Wayne State University students alike, was reborn last year after the Detroit Optimist Society took it over. The calendar is stacked with plenty of entertainment options and fun things to do, including trivia, karaoke, live music, and Latin night, as well as shuffleboard and pool. While Detroit Optimist Society is known for elevated craft cocktail bars like Corktown cocktail bar Sugar House and downtown dining destination Wright and Co., the vibe at Third Street is chill and casual, as seen with the frozen Astral coconut margarita with Astral Blanco, lime, orange, pineapple, and coconut water." - Vox Creative


"A bar in Detroit’s Midtown neighborhood where vegan-focused chef Megan Shaw and Street Beet co-founder Nina Paletta have established a long-term residency." - Serena Maria Daniels

"A Cass Corridor venue that hosted the pop-up’s multi-year residency beginning in 2019 and is serving as the site of the relaunch; it will offer extended hours for the kickoff during the Dally in the Alley festival (noon–midnight) with a follow-up brunch service (noon–4 p.m.) and will again accommodate the founders’ semi-permanent residency as they prepare for a future brick-and-mortar." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Sip on well drinks and beers at Third Street Bar during its weekly karaoke nights. On Tuesday’s beginning at 10 p.m. roving host DJ Robby Rob steps up to emcee. The bar now features vegan comfort food spot Street Beet, so patrons can grab a fake fried chicken sandwich in between songs." - Brenna Houck

"A popular Cass Corridor bar that has hosted recurring pop-ups and provided a stable home for a growing vegan counter-service operation; it was used for a weekends-only trial run of Kentucky Fake Chicken and will house the full counter-service menu beginning February 6. The venue supports counter service with food runners, helped the pop-up team pilot faster service formats, and accommodates an expanded part-time staff to reduce wait times and streamline carryout and online orders." - Brenna Houck
