THE STAND OFFERS A FINE ART GRILL EXPERIENCE

Two childhood friends from Warren, John Kelly and Paul Grosz, are now business partners with their opening of The Stand Gastro Bistro, a new gourmet hamburger bar and grill located at 34977 Woodward Avenue. Along with classic American cuisine, The Stand offers vegan and charcuterie menus. To kick off the pair’s great achievement in the art of fine cooking (gastro, as they say), the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at The Stand’s location in Downtown Birmingham.
