Michigan’s Only Hard Rock Café Has a New Tenant
It’s been a while since Michigan has had a Hard Rock Café. The state’s only location was in Detroit from 2003 to 2018. I remember going there at least once, and I still don’t quite get why the Hard Rock brand didn’t make in the the Motor City.
Now, a new food stop is moving into the old Hard Rock location. It’s certainly nothing like the original Hard Rock restaurant- but it rocks, in its own way. Let’s call it a sweeter way.
Sugar Factory will open its doors to the public on Monday (Aug. 29) in downtown Detroit in the One Campus Martius Building, in the former Hard Rock Café location. The space will seat 223 people and offer an outdoor patio, indoor dining room, bar area and a candy retail store. Sugar Factory will also serve brunch, lunch and dinner, so it’s not all desserts. Not that there would be anything wrong with all desserts, at least in my book.
Some of the establishment’s popular menu items include The Signature Sugar Factory Burger, Strawberry Cheesecake Overload, the Cookie Jar Sundae, New York Cheesecake, The Dye Milkshake, Sugar Factory Rainbow Sliders, Chicken Fingers, Pan Roasted Salmon Salad and more. As I’m looking through the menu, I’m getting more and more excited to try some of these sweet teats. Hours for the downtown Sugar Factory Detroit location will be Monday-Thursday from 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Friday from 11 a.m.-12 a.m.; Saturday from 10 a.m.-12 a.m.; and Sunday from 10 a.m.-11 p.m. They also have items available online at their official website, SugarFactory.com.
