Modern Mexican bar and restaurant opens soon

After a few false starts, a new Mexican bar and restaurant Peso has confirmed plans to open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday, April 22, at Bagley and 18th Street in the Hubbard-Richard area. The new spot will serve a menu with tortas and burritos alongside 20 different styles of margaritas, Mexican beers, and cantaritos (a tequila-based cocktail from Jalisco served in a clay mug). Peso is located inside the former Fist of Curry space, which has undergone a full renovation.

Meadery heads to Grosse Pointe Park

A new spot for honey wine called Recolte Meads is now open in Grosse Pointe Park, Grosse Pointe Times reports. Owners Rana Jundy and Julijana Simjanovski opened their mead tasting room last week at 15308 Kercheval Ave. The meads are produced in Sterling Heights and transferred to bottles and cans for purchase at the Grosse Pointe Park address. Visitors can also try mead drinks such as a mead bloody mary on site.

New food option heads to Livernois

More signs that the Avenue of Fashion is really heating up: Jo’s Gallery Cafe is looking to transition into a restaurant, according to an announcement on social media. The new spot is slated to go from pop-up to permanent in the first quarter of 2020.
