Woodward Avenue just picked up a new hangout. The Massidore Detroit, a bar, grill, and event center at 9350 Woodward Avenue, quietly opened this month with a full kitchen, performance stage, and LED walls ready for concerts and private parties. Owner Tony “Massive” Little is pitching the spot as part neighborhood restaurant, part cultural venue, with plans for monthly headline entertainment alongside steady community outreach. For now, the room is open from noon to 8 p.m. Monday through tomorrow, and staff is already hyping a house mac and cheese next to lamb chops, steak bites, turkey chops, burgers, and fish.
Speaking with ClickOnDetroit, Little walked through the fresh upgrades, saying, “We’ve completely done the floors, the remodeling, and everything. The LED screens.” He also told the station that regular outreach, including delivering hot meals to nearby residents, is baked into the business plan. As ClickOnDetroit notes, there is a nursing home directly across the street, a detail Little pointed to when explaining why the community work matters to him.
Menu and ordering
The venue’s online ordering page on Toast lists a lineup of American‑Southern mains and combo plates, including Mac & Cheese, a “Massive Triple Cheeseburger,” 4‑piece lamb chops, steak bites, king turkey chops, catfish, and more. According to the Toast page, combo options pair entrees with mac and cheese, and there is a full cocktail and bottle list available for events. Those delivery and pickup listings position The Massidore to feed both everyday dine‑in crowds and private‑event guests who want to keep the party going without leaving Woodward.
What the space offers
The Massidore website describes roughly 10,000 square feet of flexible event space dressed in glossy white marble floors and contemporary chandeliers. The room is outfitted with a full stage, multiple LED walls, and flat‑screen displays. Per the Massidore website, the building also includes a professional kitchen, backstage dressing rooms, and load‑in access for performers, which makes it suitable for weddings, corporate events, and live shows. The site markets the venue for strolling‑style events with up to a few hundred guests, framing The Massidore as both a neighborhood restaurant and a rentable event space.
Entertainment and community plans
Looking ahead, Little told ClickOnDetroit that the team plans to “host a major entertainer each month.” An Eventbrite listing shows the space has already tested the waters with a grand‑opening launch party last Saturday. Little casts those big‑name bookings as the revenue engine that will help fund ongoing outreach and hot‑meal deliveries in the immediate neighborhood.
Whether The Massidore settles in as a regular stop on Woodward’s nightlife circuit or leans harder into private rentals will come down to future bookings and how neighbors respond in the coming weeks. For now, the doors are open, the LED walls are lit, and the mac and cheese is on standby.
