Hi Stache Fam,
When we swung our doors open January of 2016 we had only a small idea of what to anticipate going into a crazy venture like this. We started the process of opening a year and a half beforehand and had quickly learned that blood, sweat, tears and a TON of hard work & elbow grease would be a big part of this process. What we didn’t totally anticipate was the extent that this humble little bar would become such a landing place, source of respite from the stresses of day to day, outlet for creative expression, and HOME for so many of our staff family, family families, friends from afar and friends from down the street. New faces became regulars, regulars became friends and family, and friends and family cheered us on the whole way. That being said, this business is HARD and we are ready for a break. Therefore, we are here to share the bittersweet news that we have sold the bar and our final weekend slinging Mom Bombs as Stache International will be this weekend. We are so proud of what we have accomplished throughout all the good years, lean years, bad years (lookin’ at you COVID), and everything in between.
We COULD NOT have done it without Every. Single. One. of you that came in to support us in the last 7+ years and make this quirky little space in Detroit what it is. SO to everyone who ever enjoyed a meal, drank a beer, celebrated a life accomplishment or milestone, laughed, cried, nursed a hangover or danced/sang the night away with us - THANK YOU. To all of the talented artists, bands, DJs and members of the Detroit creative community that allowed us to be a part of your artistic vision & expression – THANK YOU. A huge THANK YOU especially to our staff family both present and past– without you as a team none of this would have been possible.
Nothing good can last forever, and we’re ready to start a new chapter (and maybe enjoy a weekend off here and there…!). We’re not sure what is immediately next for us other than a little R&R but either way- we’ll see you on the flip side, Detroit. We love you.
-The Stache Team
