Landmark Hayloft Liquor Stand Ready for Demolition
The Hayloft was initially opened as a country bar back in 1974 hosting such stars as Carl Perkins and Larry Atkins. It was sold in 1988 to Ron Masters. Over the years, the bar was known for rock bands. Macomb County shut it down in October 2011. Attempts to re-open failed as the building fell in such disrepair. The 7,500-square-foot building will be demolished to make way for a new development. Hopefully not a gas station but something that will make Mt. Clemens shine again. One highlight was Sebastian Bach stopping in and singing while standing on tables belting out his hit “I Remember You.” Many fine times as well as I hosted many benefits. Do you have a favorite memory of the Hayloft?
