What may look like just an old 4-car garage from the 1920's in some alleyway in Detroit is set to be Alley Wine, at 655 Alexandrine in Midtown. Inspired by small European streets and alleyways the idea came to fruition. "Serving quality wine on a once trash-strewn alley in the middle of Detroit was too crazy of an idea to not give it a shot," according to alleywine.com. Alley Wine was a final contestant in the 2011 Hatch Detroit contest but did not win.

In a large warehouse, 2445 Michigan Ave, west of the abandon train station Two James Spirits is another addition to the growing food and bar scene in Corktown.

Soft openings of the tasting room included cocktails with their 28 Island Vodka and Grass Widow Bourbon this Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Batch Brewing, Detroit's first nano brewery may open sooner than expected after winning the 2013 Comerica Hatch Detroit contest on Aug. 29. The brewery was set to open by the end of the year at 1444 Michigan Ave. in Corktown. The retail operation had about $35,000 in cash for $75,000 in equipment it still needed before it could open.

Gold Cash Gold, described as a locally sourced, comfort food restaurant, is now three-quarters of the way through the permitting process and should open in about a year, said Phil Cooley of Slows BBQ and Cooley Real Estate. The name of the new restaurant refers to words still painted outside of the building, which was most recently a pawn shop. Cooley said some of the graphics on the facade will be preserved as part of the project. Inside the 132-year-old building there will still be brick walls with arches, and the 3,000 square-foot space will have a seating capacity of 125 when a back patio is included.
