Northville becomes Michigan’s second Granite City eatery location

Northville is getting a new restaurant in Granite City, the second metro Detroit location for the Minneapolis-based chain of brewpubs.

The Northville Granite City is scheduled to open in April at 39603 Traditions Dr. near 7 Mile and Haggerty roads. It is part of the 82-acre Northville Park Place development, which is in the second phase of construction. The development is on the site of the closed Northville Psychiatric Hospital.

Beer will be brewed in house and food will be made from scratch.

Granite City’s only Michigan location to date is in Troy. It’s regularly packed with customers waiting for tables and is a big draw for special beer-themed events. A third location is planned for the Renaissance Center in Detroit later this year. Northville will be the 33rd Granite City nationally.

The development site is a mix of retail and public space, including a park and trails that connect to Northville neighborhoods. The University of Michigan Northville Medical Center is located at Park Place along with other restaurants and retailers.

The opening creates 200 full- and part-time jobs.
