DETROIT, MI - Jolly Pumpkin is opening a craft beer, spirits and wine bar in a 5,000-square-foot space at 441 W. Canfield in Midtown Detroit, the Northern United Brewing Company brand announced Tuesday.

Opening in early 2015, Jolly Pumpkin will be in the same retail space as Shinola, Willys Detroit, RUNdetroit and Fellow Barber.

“We are very excited to be opening Jolly Pumpkin Detroit and becoming part of this incredible neighborhood. Many have helped us develop this project and we are grateful for their support,” Tony Grant, a principal of Northern United Brewing Company, said in a release.

The Jolly Pumpkin spot will lean on local suppliers such as Avalon Bakery, McClures Pickles and Calder Dairy for its food menu, which is being described as eclectic pub fare.

“Midtown Detroit, Inc. is thrilled to welcome Jolly Pumpkin into the neighborhood,” Midtown Detroit Inc. Executive Director Sue Mosey said in the release. “Their investment and strong brand will draw in more people to Midtown’s burgeoning retail and restaurant district.”

Based in Dexter, Northern United Brewing Co. encompasses the Grizzly Peak and North Peak Beer Co. craft beer brands and the Civilized Spirits and Bonafide Wine brands.

Meanwhile, popular craft beer bar HopCat plans to open its first Detroit location, also in Midtown, with a tap-takeover party on Nov. 15. The opening, which officially begins at 11 a.m., will feature a free concert by Brooklyn-based Pitchblak Brass Band as well as a tap takeover by Bellaire-based Short's Brewing Company. There will be at least 101 different varieties of Short's brew for the tasting.
