A new coffee house, bar and art and performance venue has opened on Hamtramck's main drag, Joseph Campau, just south of Caniff. Owner Ken Duby aims to make his
Trowbridge House of Coffee into a "world coffeehouse" akin to the kind found most often across the pond.
Jeremy Richter, THC's general manager, says that Duby has worked to create "a really exquisite place for local Detroit artists." Coffee, teas, a Spanish tapas menu, numerous tap beers, an in-house martini menu and a premium wine selection are among the offerings.
Music will range from local DJs to jazz to blues, art will be on display. Richter says the sound system is "quite ridiculously good -- it's really sharp."
THC's style is elegant, with rich-toned mahogany wood, low lights and upscale service. "We're 100% custom," says Richter. "A lot of people come in here and we get a 'wow factor' through the roof."
All tap beers are currently on special for $3, and Richter pledges that Guinness will stay at that price for good. THC also offers free wi-fi and can arrange for private engagements.
THC is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. It is located at 10241 Jos. Campau at Trowbridge. Call 313-285-9822.
