But But But......Bham says businesses aren't coming to city.....no one would ever come there.....
How SILLY of them!
They have a great burger and even better cold beer!
Haha don't listen to Bham... it is crushing him inside that one of Birminghams best bars/restaurants is opening up a bigger, flagship restaurant downtown..
and he learned that Birminghams premier art gallery [[David Klein Gallery) is also opening up a bigger, flagship gallery downtown in the same week. I mean hell, look at these quotes from David Klein himself:
"The new 4,000-square-foot space is envisioned to become the gallery's flagship location, with room for more elaborate showings and programs and a larger inventory of art. The Birmingham location at 163 Townsend will stay open and continue to show both modern and contemporary art. "It has been a lifelong dream to open a gallery in downtown Detroit," David Klein, 48, said Tuesday."
He's been sitting at home crying, and cursing Mayor Duggan
It never fails. Some people will always take good news and turn it into an us vs them p!$$ contest.
From what I gather, a 30-y.o. unreformed frat boy from a well-off family gets bored with his Birmingham location, wants to feel edgy, hitch his wagon to the new Wings' arena buzz and get his name in the local rags, so he announces he's opening something in Detroit = Detroit is back? Interesting.
It's been in the "planning stages for a year." Call me when it actually opens, after he has to deal with all of the bs that comes with launching something in Detroit. Call me when it's actually bigger than the Birmingham location. Call me when it's still slammed after the opening buzz wears off. Call me if the doors are still open a year later.
Townhouse works in Birmingham because people live there, it's a neighborhood hangout. Very few wealthy and hip 20-somethings live around One Detroit Center. Perhaps he thinks $15 burgers to the lunch crowd and booze to sporting events/concert crowds are enough to make this viable. Who knows.
This might not open. the building it suppose to open in, is now for sale, the new owners mite not want it.
Lets hope it does, wish it well,
does that mean the place to eat there now will bekicked out
Awwww... it looks like Bham1982 and anonJD ruined the chances of this ever becoming a HOF thread... bummer... :p
Now lets see what people who actually know what they are talking about have to say....

WOW! I never realized "Hospitality" is a science! I wonder if that's "Craft Cheese" on that burger?
This place is not going to make it in Detroit with their prices. $15 burger and $20 appetizers won't fly.
can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. if you're being serious, that's just not true, considering Fountain Bistro, Roast, Coach Insignia, Wright & Co, etc. are all within walking distance to this place and are in the same price range, or *far* more expensive, and are thriving.
