"We want to give glass enthusiasts and newcomers a comfortable environment to watch the exciting process of glassblowing," says Jacob Nordin, second-generation Glass Academy owner. "Few people get the chance to watch glassblowing up close, and The Michigan Room will provide an experience that immerses guests in the world of glass."
The Michigan Room's beverage menu will include a rotating cocktail selection, beers, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and coffee, with a focus on Michigan-made products, such as Detroit's Casamara Club Sodas, Dearborn Brewing drafts and seltzers, Ann Arbor Distilling Botanical Gin, Ann Arbor’s TeaHaus small batch lemon tonic, and Detroit City Distillery bourbon and rum.
The drinks will be sold in hand-blown glasses that are available to buy.
According to the Glass Academy, The Michigan Room is inspired by the Great Lakes, and is decorated with a focus on sustainability. This includes upcycled chairs, vintage lamps, and more.
