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. Here we go!”

Alexandre’s on Cedar Springs Road will reopen on May 1 at noon.
“And it’s under the same management. Sorry,” said bar owner Lee Daugherty.
The bar will have been closed 410 days due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“It has been a hard time for the entire hospitality industry, and with much financial, mental, and physical stress on its workers,” Daugherty said. “Alexandre’s was fortunate very early to prepare, successfully fundraise, and navigate government programs allowing rent and minimal overhead to be paid throughout, but more importantly basic income and health insurance for workers.”
Daugherty was outspoken throughout the pandemic about the need to protect workers of the industry to maintain higher federal unemployment benefits and for bar owners to either remain closed or to follow extremely strict health protocols to keep workers and guests safe.
