Ferndale s Public House and Antihero restaurants sold to One-Eyed Betty s owner
Two popular Ferndale restaurants have been sold to the owners of other, hip, neighboring eateries.
Public House and Antihero, both on W. Nine Mile in downtown Ferndale, have been sold. Former operators Sharon and Perry LaVoisne announced the news on social media Thursday, calling the move bittersweet. Once again we are reminded that life is ever-changing and unfolding to allow room for new opportunities, whether growth or reflection, they said in a statement. Although we are sad to see them go, we can’t say enough about how amazing it’s been being able to work side by side with such an incredible team to create these beautiful spaces and concepts. It took so many talented individuals to make these dreams come to life and we are forever grateful to everyone that was a part of it.

Two popular Ferndale bar/restaurants will soon have a new owner.
Sharon and Perry LaVoisne, owners of Public House and Antihero, on Thursday morning shared an Instagram post announcing the sale of the properties. Once again, we are reminded that life is ever-changing and unfolding to allow room for new opportunities, whether growth or reflection, the caption reads. It s been one hell of a ride these past eight years.
The new owner was not disclosed.

Kramer owns Rosie O Grady s, One Eyed Betty s and Pop s for Italian in Ferndale.
Metro Detroit bar owners expect low key St. Patrick s Day amid pandemic limits
Irish-themed holiday a big day for many bar owners
Bars, restaurants were temporarily shut down last year as pandemic took hold
Crain s Detroit Business
St. Patrick s Day revelers are reminded to stay socially distanced as they celebrate the day.
For Dick O Dow s Irish Public House owner Mitch Black, this St. Patrick s Day will be the most low key of all 24 that have been celebrated at the Birmingham bar. On a typical St. Patrick s Day for us, you could expect to see two or three Irish bands playing, bagpipers and dancers walking around. Because of the(pandemic-related) guidelines in place, we re not going to have any of that this year. Because of the situation we re in with the capacity (limits), it doesn t make sense to hype up a big event.
Ferndale restaurant One-Eyed Betty’s closed temporarily for renovations this week, but plans to pop up on the patio at sister restaurant Rosie O’Grady’s on West Nine Mile Road, according to the Detroit News. The renovation includes new booths and televisions inside and a new patio created from a shipping container.
News of the renovation comes following an alarming Facebook post on Wednesday that simply read, “just to let everyone know Betty’s is closing.” with no indication the closure of the restaurant is merely temporary. Commenters on Facebook were quick to point out the insensitive nature of the post, given the growing number of southeast Michigan restaurants which have closed permanently during the pandemic.
