Lee Daugherty, owner of Alexandre’s on Cedar Springs Road, announced today vide social media that he has signed a lease on the space next to the bar, formerly occupied by a donut shop, and will be expanding into that space and adding food service.
“We are tremendously excited for this opportunity,” Daugherty wrote in a post to Facebook. “While it will be a hectic next couple of months, we really want to make this a community project and look forward to everyone’s input, ideas and building a bigger and better best little bar on The Strip.
