Since announcing our summer break, we received a number of inquiries about purchasing the business, which we are considering. We would love for someone from Detroit to take over and keep Willis going - if you or someone you know would be interested, we’d love to connect with someone from our local community.

We’re Pressing Pause for the Summer

After much reflection, we’ve made the decision to temporarily close our doors for the remainder of the summer.

This wasn’t a choice we made lightly. However, given rising operational costs and the seasonal lull in business that hits Detroit each summer, it's clear now is the time to pause, reset, and focus on much-needed improvements for this historic music venue and cocktail bar.

Our hope is that we can return with a sustainable future — one that supports both the music and the community that have always been at the heart of this space.
