Granite City Food and Brewery will add 16,000-square-feet and over 700 seats to the Renaissance Center dining cache Feb. 10.

The national chain has 34 locations across 14 states, but picked Detroit -- its 35th location -- to be a flagship location, and the largest yet.

Construction started on the brewery in 2014. Crews had to build an addition on the northwest corner of the RenCen to accommodate the restaurant, which has 700 seats in the dimly-lit dining room, 115 seats in a private room and, hopefully by the Detroit Tigers opening day, another 109 seats on an outdoor patio.
