Cheers: One Thirty Eight cocktail lounge in Harbor Springs is here
|
The restaurant space on the corner of West Third Street and State Street in Harbor Springs has seen several owners in its past, but Steve McDiarmid and his new cocktail lounge One Thirty Eight are looking to stick around.
“I think the community is excited,” said McDiarmid. “Our goal is to be here to stay, to be here as long as they let us.”
McDiarmid, who is originally from Metro Detroit, has over 20 years in the food and hospitality management business. When it came to figuring out One Thirty Eight, McDiarmid said it was all about the space. “I look at the space and I figure it out from there,” said McDiarmid. “This was a really beautiful build out, I didn’t feel the need to change a lot of it, but I thought we needed to put our touches on it.”
The space which previously belonged to Colin’s Corner Cafe, then Sprout, did undergo some minor renovations to complete McDiarmid’s vision including installing a new bar and changes in the outdoor seating areas.
