Rock & Brews Restaurant and Concert Bar, a national restaurant concept started by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS will be opening this spring at 208 West Fifth Avenue, Royal Oak. The three-story space promises an immersive rock & roll experience, like no other, amplified by classic food and drink for music lovers of all ages to enjoy. “We’re excited to bring a Rock & Brews Restaurant and Concert Bar to Detroit Rock City,” said Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons in a joint statement. “We’ve all worked hard collaborating as a team to create Rock & Brews destinations we could be proud to share with the community, and that is without a doubt what we will do for our newest location in Royal Oak.” The new Rock & Brews Restaurant and Concert Bar, featuring three floors will include: a main dining room on level one; live concert stage and bar on level two; an open-air rooftop Sky Lounge with DJ and great views of the city on level three; over 30 TVs and a 16-foot state-of-the-art LED screen for an immersive viewing experience for sports and entertainment; and private dining rooms and meeting rooms. On the menu, guest will find scratch-made American classics, signature “rocktails,” local and craft beers on tap, plus weekend brunch. In addition to Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, the Rock & Brews team includes CEO Adam Goldberg, entrepreneur, restaurateur, and hotelier Michael Zislis, who is behind some of Southern California’s most well-known establishments, such as The Strand House and Shade Hotels; as well as concert industry veterans Dave and Dell Furano. The team opened the first Rock & Brews near LAX Airport in Southern California in 2010 and since then, have expanded to over 20 locations in the U.S.
