Street Beet, a popular plant-based pop-up, has finally put down roots in Detroit's Corktown. The beloved vegan eatery, known for its creative takes on classic American comfort food, is now open in its first brick-and-mortar restaurant at 1800 Michigan Ave, formerly home to Bobcat Bonnie's.
The grand opening celebration kicks off on Thursday, Dec. 11, from 4-11 p.m., and promises a fun-filled night of good food, drinks, and arcade games. The venue will offer a full-service bar, milkshakes, malts, and alcohol-free mocktails to complement the menu.
Inside, guests can dine for full service or pick up carryout from a walk-up window. But what really sets Street Beet apart is its partnership with Offworld Arcade, which brings classic arcade and pinball games to the space. For a small additional fee, visitors can indulge in retro gaming fun while enjoying their meals.
Street Beet's menu boasts an impressive array of plant-based options, including meatless coney dogs, smashburgers, chicken sandwiches, and nachos. The restaurant plans to introduce a brunch menu, coffee counter with vegan pastries, and patio seating in the coming months, further solidifying its commitment to the community.
"We've dreamed of this space for years," says founder Meghan Shaw. "Bringing Street Beet home to Corktown feels unreal – this is our biggest leap yet, and we can't wait to feed everyone again."
This new location marks a significant milestone for Street Beet, which launched in 2018 serving vegan takes on popular fast food. Since then, it has operated pop-up events and held residency at Midtown's Third Street Bar before expanding into suburban locations.
With the support of a hedge fund partner, Street Beet aims to become a household name, reaching people from all backgrounds and neighborhoods. As the restaurant continues to grow, one thing is clear: Corktown will never be the same.

they're doing a grand opening party on dec 11th with arcade games & milkshakes and it's gonna be lit!!! 
i've had their food at pop-ups before and it's always sooo good - the coney dogs are to die for! 
can't wait to try more of their creative vegan takes on classic comfort food. this is def a great spot for anyone looking for plant-based options in detroit 
and i'm low-key sad they had to put up for sale that bobcat bonnie's location lol 
anyway, it's cool they got a brick & mortar now and all that arcade gaming action sounds lit 
but like, what's the point of getting popular when the food is just gonna keep on being overpriced 
also, dont @ me, but have you seen their menu? its a whole lotta meatless options, lol who even orders nachos without cheese 
. It's a symbol of hope and resilience, like a street beet that's finally found its roots 
.

. The idea of having arcade games inside a restaurant is so cool 
, who doesn't love a good game while eating? And the menu sounds insane - meatless coney dogs and smashburgers? 
I'm definitely gonna have to try it out when they open! I also love that they're partnering with Offworld Arcade, it's such a great way to make the space feel like a community hub 
. Can't wait for the brunch menu and coffee counter, sounds like the perfect spot to chill 
just found out that a massive iceberg broke off from Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier 
yesterday... scientists are worried it could raise sea levels by up to 3 inches in just a few months 
i'm definitely going to check it out with my friends on opening night. has anyone tried their coney dogs yet? i saw they're doing a meatless version and i wanna know if its as good as the regular one 
And kudos to Meghan Shaw for following her dreams and bringing Street Beet home to Corktown - it's awesome to see local businesses thrive! 
The grand opening celebration sounds like so much fun too - I'd be right there with the party vibes and arcade games. Meghan Shaw must be super proud of this new brick-and-mortar spot, it's definitely going to become a hub for foodies and gamers alike. And yay for more options for the community, especially those looking for plant-based eats! Can't wait to try out the brunch menu and coffee counter with vegan pastries 
What if this is just a front to get people hooked on those retro games and then they start selling our data or something? 
And have you noticed how quickly Street Beet went from a small pop-up to a full-service bar and arcade games? That's some fast growth, if you ask me... sounds like they're getting some outside help. What do you guys think? 
! The grand opening celebration sounds like an absolute blast, with a full-service bar, arcade games, and of course, delicious plant-based eats 
It's a testament to the creativity and adaptability of founders like Meghan Shaw, who have consistently pushed the boundaries of vegan cuisine since 2018.
. I'm excited to see how this new location will shape the culinary landscape of Detroit and bring people together through food and fun! 
street beet is already my fave but this new location has me hyped to try more of their delicious plant-based grub
