Rosie O'Grady's in Ferndale is serving up more than a new location, beverages, banquets and bands when the 14,000 square foot restaurant and nightspot opened to the public on Thurs., July 16. The facility, which combines the best elements of a lunch spot, lounge, sports bar outdoor patio and nightclub, kicked-off a new era of prosperity in a familiar area.
Opening for business at 11 a.m. on that Thursday, the creation of the new Rosie's in downtown Ferndale (southwest corner of Allen and Nine Mile Roads) will replace the original location built on Troy Street in 1997. Not only will the Ferndale Rosie's be a physical move representative of a block in distance, but with the expanded state-of-the art facility and features it also represents a philosophical move.
The concept of the new Rosie's construction, the flagship of the Southeast Michigan restaurants, became a reality in an effort to maintain the interest of customer's and create a venue on par with the Chesterfield and Sterling Heights Rosie's locations.
"This is a must-see," said Rosie's President Brian Kramer. "This new Ferndale facility had to be special. It had to awe and serve not just as a source of constant entertainment, but a place in these challenged times where patron's had their troubles stop at the door."
Kramer recognizes an investment of more than $3 million is stunning in the current economic times, but added, "Ferndale is where Rosie O'Grady's Irish Pub was born and first developed; it's like my baby and a source of pride to me. Despite the tough times, my goal is to make my original neighborhood a place where other local businesses can feel the ripple effect of those we draw so the area can be successful and thrive."
Additional features of the state-of-the-art restaurant and bar include 120 HD-ready flat screen TVs, expansive windows overlooking a sidewalk café, a 4,000 square foot side patio with an open air bar and lounge seating arranged around six custom outdoor fire pits, and of course, memorable delicious food for the entire family.
