Get ready for a thrilling transformation of Corktown as they prepare for the upcoming draft. Tents will be assembled on Tuesday (April 23), setting the stage for an unforgettable event. Eastern Market Brewing Co., located just a stone’s throw from Lagerhaus No. 5, was the first brewery to operate in the popular food neighborhood in more than 30 years when it opened in 2017. The brewery plans to expand and takeover the Axle Brewing Co. Nearby, Detroit City Distillery operates a successful bar and spirits business and earlier this year, the city’s first winery, Detroit Vineyard’s opened a tasting room and production facility on Gratiot. A brewery was also rumored to be part of a plan to redevelop the Detroit Water and Sewerage building.

The Lager House is located on Michigan Avenue just west of M-10 in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood. The popular local spot has a whole new feel -- particularly its unique menu that keeps the customers coming back just as much as the music. Local 4 News will be live from the draft in downtown Detroit for our “All In’ special Wednesday at 8 p.m. The official activation site for kids during the draft festivities will be The Corner Ballpark in Corktown, Detroit’s oldest neighborhood.
Peace Corps: University of Michigan students among largest volunteer groups in US
Welcome to PJ’s Lager House, a Corktown fixture since 1914 when it opened as a neighborhood bakery and restaurant. It masqueraded as a furniture store during Prohibition (ask PJ to show you the secret password slot in the basement door), but emerged a beer garden the minute the 21st Amendment was passed repealing Prohibition. Prior to being renamed The Lager House in 1965, 1254 Michigan Ave. was known as the Doemer Beer Garden, Doemer Brothers Tavern, and The Doemer Tavern. The bakery/restaurant/bar served up great food and drink to city pols, Corktown neighbors, unionists, bookies, bettors and sports fans alike. Enter the ’90s and a new era of punk and attitude. The kitchen was replaced with a sound system and the Lager House became known as a hangout for bands such as the White Stripes and the Von Bondies (excuse us for mentioning those in the same sentence).

The show is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 13 and will feature all performers who worked at the long-standing Corktown bar and music venue over the years, or their family, organizers say. During the three-day event, Chevillet will set up a dye walk-up station outside the store where you can design your own pair of socks. If you do an extra pair, they'll donate it to one of the city's homeless shelters.

Now PJ has brought back the kitchen with Detroit Attitude and a dash of New Orleans flavor. Hamburgers are handmade from fresh, ground steak. Veggie burgers are made from house made falafel.
Official activation site for kids during draft festivities will be The Corner Ballpark
In his interview with Deadline Detroit this week, Ryder said that there are currently no plans to change anything about the space, it will remain a destination for music and food. During the pandemic, PJ’s struggled to remain open. In 2020, the bar and restaurant shuttered temporarily when several employees contracted COVID-19. The closure prompted a GoFundMe campaign that went toward supporting the impacted employees. PJ’s Lager House has announced the details for its third “End of an Era” concert series show before it gets sold to new owners.

Many of the events taking place at the Corner Ballpark during the three-day event will be for kids, but go down Michigan Avenue, and there will be plenty for the adults to do. Friendly staff, good food, live music and fun venue with good people. Other “End of an Era” concerts are planned for Saturday, Sept. 17 and Saturday, Oct. 1, though the lineups have not yet been announced.
Tasty Tuesday: Lager House in Detroit’s Corktown has whole new feel
In a 2019 interview with Curbed, when Ryder purchased the property 2007, Corktown was still considered a seedy part of town where folks looking for drugs or shady activities would frequent. PJ’s since made a name for itself as, not only a venue for indie bands and beers, but also as a vegetarian and vegan-friendly brunch spot — historically something of a rarity in the city. A new brewery and bottle shop is traipsing into Eastern Market imminently. A beer hall dubbed Lagerhaus No. 5 is scheduled to open at 1529 Adelaide in the coming weeks serving German-beers with a Hungarian and German food, Crain’s reports.

People in attendance will be able to immerse themselves in the vibrant offerings of Corktown’s renowned stores and restaurants. Each will provide exclusive deals and discounts throughout the event, featuring culinary delights and unique discoveries. CORKTOWN, Mich. – The Corktown Business Association announces that its NFL draft experience event will take place in Detroit from April 25 to 27. "We've never been a sports company, but it's starting to evolve into that, and it's been really fun because of the NFL coming here," said Alexandra Chevillet, co-owner of Detroit Dye House. "We don't know what to expect because when we have, like St. Patrick's Day or Opening Day, we know what to expect. We know. But this is so big that we don't really know. But we're ready," said Sandy Simmons, Manager at Nemo's.
Food lovers of all stripes will find fresh fare. PJ’s Lager House, the venerable Corktown bar, restaurant, and music venue has found a buyer, after more than three years on the market. Owner Paul “PJ” Ryder put the spot on the market for $2.2 million back in 2019 and, according to Deadline Detroit, he’s finally found a buyer, the landlord who owns the property occupied by James Oliver Coffee next door. It masqueraded as a furniture store during Prohibition and emerged a beer garden the minute the 21st Amendment repealing Prohibition was passed. Prior to being renamed The Lager House in 1965, 1254 Michigan Avenue was known as the Doemer Beer Garden, Doemer Brothers Tavern, and The Doemer Tavern. The bakery/restaurant/bar served up great food and drink to city pols, Corktown neighbors, unionists, bookies, bettors, and sports fans alike.
While Ryder did not disclose the selling price, he told the website that the buyers “made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.” Ryder said that he expects the deal to close in September. James Oliver Coffee owner David Shock told Eater that the buyer is Alex Riley, who also owns the property that houses Shock’s coffee shop. A beer shop on site will carry around 100 local and European beers. Last month, owner PJ Ryder announced that he was working toward selling the business to the owner of the next-door building that houses the James Oliver Coffee Co.
