    The downtown Detroit sports bar dedicated to Dan Gilbert’s late son has an opening date. 

    Gilly’s Clubhouse is set to open on Friday, April 5 at 10 a.m., the owners announced on Wednesday. Located at 1550 Woodward Ave., Gilly’s boasts 10,000 square feet with a 120-square foot television, Detroit sports memorabilia, and American fare.

    The menu includes things like grass-fed beef smash burgers, chicken wings, homemade mac and cheese, and turkey meatballs along with healthier options like grain bowls and salads. A variety of draft beers and specialty cocktails will be on offer. It will also have a coffee shop cafe with classic coffee and fresh-pressed juice.

    Gilly’s is named for Dan and Jennifer Gilbert’s son Nick Gilbert whose nickname was Gilly. He passed away from complications related to neurofibromatosis at 26 years old in May of 2023, and the sports bar was originally his vision. 

    The interior design for Gilly’s includes original artwork by Detroit artist Davariz Broaden and Tyrell Winston with an installation of Nick Gilbert’s signature.

    The sports bar’s opening coincides with the Detroit Tigers’ home opener on April 5. It will host a tailgating party for the opening game starting at 10 a.m. that day, a watch party at 1:15 p.m., and a post-game celebration with DJ E-V. Gilly’s will also host daily watch parties for the NFL Draft when it comes to Detroit April 25-27.

    Gilly’s Clubhouse is a dual concept with Gilly’s Rooftop, which will serve Mexican street fare. An upscale cocktail lounge named Saksey’s will be located on the lower level of Gilly’s Clubhouse and Rooftop. Saksey’s and the Rooftop are both slated to open later this spring. All will be operated by Ohio-based 7OH2 Hospitality. 

    “We are excited to have this unique opportunity to introduce our unique concept to the city of Detroit in time for the Tigers’ home opener, and to the rest of the sports world during the NFL Draft,” said Josh Lang owner of 7OH2 Hospitality. “Gilly’s Clubhouse will be the destination for every fan to show their spirit and pride. Sports, great food, creative cocktails, art, and entertainment – Gilly’s will offer it all. As Nick Gilbert often said, ‘What’s Not to Like?’”

    Hours for Gilly’s Clubhouse will be open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Reservations can be made online starting Friday, March 15. See gillysdetroit.com for more info.

    An intimate lounge with tableside mixology is planned to open in downtown Detroit this spring.

    Saksey’s Cocktail Lounge, owned by Dan Gilbert and helmed by 7OH2 Hospitality, will be located on the lower level of the forthcoming Gilly’s Clubhouse & Rooftop at 1550 Woodward Ave.

    Saksey’s is named after a Detroit bar owned by Dan Gilbert’s father in the 1970s. Gilly’s Clubhouse & Rooftop is the vision of Nick Gilbert, who died from complications related to neurofibromatosis in May.

    Guests at Saksey’s can expect a craft cocktail menu by Eric Hobble, who was named Las Vegas’s Most Intriguing Mixologist in 2019. Some of the cocktails on offer include the “High Class Gal” with gin, cantaloupe juice, orgeat, lemon, watermelon ice diamonds, and champagne. The “Smoke & Mirrors” includes tequila, lemon, Saint Germain, egg white powder, and charcoal lipstick kiss served in a black coupe glass.

    The lounge offers tableside mixology service.

    Shareable plates will also be on offer by 7OH2 Executive Chef Adrian Estrada who has designed menus for multiple venues across the Midwest and East Coast. The menu has been described as “a celebration of Detroit’s rich heritage featuring light bites with a flair for the dramatic,” whatever that means.

    The entrance to Saksey’s is through an alleyway just off Woodward that leads into a dimly lit lounge with lacquered wood and “adventurous patterns” designed by Jennifer Gilbert’s POPHOUSE, according to a press release. Adding to the exclusive feel, the bar will only have eight tables with a total of 55 seats.

    7OH2 Hospitality is an Ohio-born hospitality company led by Josh Lang. Saksey’s and Gilly’s Clubhouse & Rooftop will mark the company’s debut in Detroit.

    “Saksey’s is designed to provide an experience that connects people,” Lang said in a media announcement. “I want guests to come in, try a little of everything on the menu, sit back and spend time with the people they love. Intimacy is a product of those you share it with. This room is built for intimate moments.”
