“Thank you to the loyal Royal Oak community and every guest who supported Jolly Pumpkin for over five years, but it’s time for us to bid ado and start a new chapter on this historied corner.”

“We are eager to begin a new culinary journey with our staff and the community; and on Friday, November 3rd we’ll do just that by unveiling Bandit Tavern & Hideaway.”

The post says Bandit will bring “southern hospitality” to Royal Oak. “Our food and beverage menus draw inspiration from southern-style cooking with a few nods to our favorite dishes from past partners that were also housed in this building.”

Jolly Pumpkin remains open as Jolly Pumpkin in Detroit’s Midtown neighborhood.
