Today is the soft opening for the Detroit Shipping Company, the new food court/biergarden/art gallery/event space made out of shipping containers in Midtown the lower Cass Corridor. While it doesn’t open for real until July 30, we got a chance to check it out during a VIP preview party this week, and we shot this video to show you around.
The facility has six restaurants, two full-service bars, a Falling Down Beer Co. microbar, a combination coffee shop/ice cream parlor, popup retail space and indoor and outdoor seating. Plus, Podcast Detroit has a new studio there, where we figure to be recording lots of episodes while overlooking the back of the Masonic Temple and the downtown skyline.
It’s a super cool space and definitely worth a visit.
