NILES, Mich. Iron Shoe Distillery is planning to make some big changes over the next few months.
The restaurant and distillery will double the size of its existing kitchen, add new outdoor spaces and more, according to Laura Tuthill, who owns Iron Shoe with her husband, Howard.
“There are so many nights when we reach the max capacity of orders and food that we are able to make, even in our current space, so it is much needed,” Tuthill said.
Iron Shoe’s new outdoor patio and rooftop bar will add 49 seats and will also be used as a spot for live music and other events like morning yoga followed by cocktails on the weekend.
A locally owned restaurant and distillery in Niles will be undergoing an extensive expansion project thanks in part to a statewide grant.
Iron Shoe Distillery, 3 N. Third St., was one of 21 businesses across Michigan awarded up to $25,000 through the Match on Main grant provided by the Michigan Economic Development Corp. Owner Laura Tuthill said the business will use the money to expand the restaurant about 2,000-square feet of space for the kitchen, indoor dining area and to add more outdoor seating that includes a rooftop patio.
âThereâs so many days when we reach our capacity with food orders,â said owner Laura Tuthill. âSo we are excited to essentially double how much food weâre able to make at a given time to better meet the demand.â
