BERKLEY, Mich. (FOX 2) - Detroit's Slows Bar BQ is expanding beyond the city.
The BBQ spot is slated to move into the former Berkley Common space on 12 Mile in downtown Berkley.
When the city announced that Berkley Common had closed earlier this week in a Facebook post, it noted that something new was already in the works. That new place will be Slows' second full-service restaurant. The eatery currently has a full-service restaurant in Corktown and a takeout spot in Midtown.
Berkley Common permanently closes
Berkley Common has closed after nearly eight years.
At the new location, the restaurant will occupy the main floor, while the second floor will be available for events. A patio is also in the plans.
"With strong roots in the community — co-owner Josh Keillor grew up in Royal Oak and attended Shrine High School alongside fellow co-owners Brian and Terry Perrone — this expansion truly feels like a homecoming," the city wrote in a post from the Downtown Berkley Facebook page.
The restaurant is expected to open later this year. Until the, the Slows food truck will be visiting the area, so you can get the BBQ before waiting for the official opening.
