The restaurant is part of the Detroit Optimist Society, a hospitality group that operates Sugar House, Wright & Company, Grandma Bob’s, Honest John’s, Bad Luck Bar, and Time Will Tell and the Mutiny Bar.
Genevieve Van, owner of nearby Bangkok 96 Street Foods inside Detroit Shipping, said he saw the restaurant closed on Saturday. Detroit Shipping is located on the same side of the street, west of Peterboro.
“The culture there is very strong,” Van said. “I hope they’re just remodeling and not completely closed. That would be a loss. So culture is needed. Detroit Shipping loses its neighbors, especially Peter Boro, in Chinese food. It’s like that. “
Opened in 2016, Peterboro was named Detroit Free Press Metro Detroit Chevy Dealer No. 6 Best New Restaurant in 2017.
Former free press restaurant critic Mark Karyanchik said, “Here you’ll find shiny seafoam tiled walls and a dark, charred, horseshoe-shaped bar full of liquor and other spirits. We will welcome guests. “
Last month, Peterborough featured a classic Detroit dish of crab rangoon, crispy chicken wings and almond boneless chicken on its Facebook page.
The Midtown Detroit area, also known as Cass Corridor for many years, is close to several beloved and long-standing restaurants. After more than 28 years, Cass Cafe has closed.
