Popular Detroit Bar Closing Down At The End Of 2024

DETROIT — A popular bar in Detroit’s Cass Corridor neighborhood is closing down at the end of this year.

8 Degrees Plato, located on Cass Avenue near Peterboro, says it is permanently closing down on Dec. 31, as the owners decide to retire from the business.

The owners did say they had a purchase agreement in place to sell the bar, but that deal ultimately fell apart.

8 Degrees Plato, which had been in business for more than nine years, was best known for their extensive list of local and global beers to buy.

The bar was also a popular stop for fans heading to a Red Wings or Pistons game at Little Caesars Arena.

The owners said business will be normal until the closing date, and any changes will be made on social media.
