Street Beet, a Plant-Based Pop-Up Turned Brick-and-Mortar, Opens in Detroit's Corktown
A beloved plant-based pop-up with a cult following has finally put down roots in Detroit's vibrant Corktown neighborhood. Street Beet, founded by Meghan Shaw, is now open for business at 1800 Michigan Avenue, marking the grand opening of its first permanent restaurant.
The celebration kicks off on Thursday, December 11th, from 4 pm to 11 pm, and promises to be an unforgettable experience. For foodies, Street Beet's menu features vegan takes on classic American comfort food, including meatless coney dogs, smashburgers, chicken sandwiches, and nachos, as well as milkshakes, malts, and deliciously crafted mocktails.
Guests can dine in for full service or order carryout from a convenient walk-up window. But that's not all - the restaurant also boasts an impressive collection of classic arcade and pinball games courtesy of Offworld Arcade, adding an exciting element to the dining experience.
According to Shaw, "We've dreamed of this space for years," she said in a statement. "Bringing Street Beet home to Corktown feels unreal — this is our biggest leap yet, and we can't wait to feed everyone again." The restaurant plans to introduce a new brunch menu, full-service bar, coffee counter with vegan pastries, and outdoor patio seating in the near future.
Street Beet's journey began in 2018 as a popular pop-up, where it served innovative plant-based versions of fast food favorites. The venture gained traction over the years, eventually growing into a residency at Midtown's Third Street Bar. In recent months, Street Beet announced plans to expand with a new location inside a Birmingham grocery store and multiple suburban locations.
The ambitious restaurateur aims to make Street Beet a household name, reaching people from all backgrounds, neighborhoods, and walks of life. With its commitment to quality food, entertainment, and community engagement, this plant-based eatery is sure to become a staple in Detroit's culinary scene.

I'm so hyped for this new spot! Street Beet sounds like the ultimate spot for anyone who loves vegan food but doesn't want to sacrifice taste 
. The arcade games are a genius move, tbh - it's not every day you get to indulge in a juicy vegan coney dog while smashing some pins 
. And can we talk about that outdoor patio seating? It's gonna be the perfect spot for Detroiters to chill and catch up with friends 
. I'm also loving the fact that they're committed to community engagement - it's awesome to see businesses supporting each other like this 
. Shaw's vision is fire, and I'm excited to see what she has in store next 
!
!! i've been waiting for this moment for ages since they were just a pop-up 
. Meghan Shaw has done an amazing job with her vision, and now Corktown gets to enjoy all that delicious plant-based goodness 24/7 
. I'm loving the arcade games too, it's gonna be such a fun spot to hang out with friends or family 
. Can't wait to try their new brunch menu and outdoor patio seating when they launch 
. Street Beet is definitely going to bring some excitement to Detroit's food scene 
!
. Still, they've got arcade games and vegan pastries, so I guess that's a win 
. Detroit is really coming up as a foodie hub and I'm stoked to have some new spots to try!
I'm definitely gonna check it out ASAP they have arcade games too?! 
that's just a bonus! I'm glad Meghan Shaw made her dream a reality, can't wait to see what new menu items and stuff they come up with. They better bring the good vibes and create a community feel tho, 'cause that's what makes it special 
I'm so stoked for Street Beet! They've been killing it as a pop-up and now they're taking over the game with their own brick-and-mortar spot in Corktown. The menu sounds amazing - who wouldn't want vegan coney dogs and smashburgers? 
... I mean, can't we just stick to our classic vegan burgers and fries? 
Plus, I don't know if an arcade and pinball games are really necessary for a dining experience... it's just too much to handle 
. On the other hand, I love that they're trying to bring in a more lively atmosphere - the outdoor patio seating and coffee counter with vegan pastries sound like a great combo 
️... but what if it gets too crowded and noisy? 
. Overall, I'm excited for Street Beet's grand opening, but I'll probably have to wait and see how things play out 
.
. I mean don't get me wrong, a vegan coney dog sounds kinda cool, but have you seen the prices? It's like they're trying to nickel and dime you out of your last dollar 
. And don't even get me started on the arcade games - it's just gonna be a bunch of nerds playing old video games while you wait for your food 
I'm excited to see them shake things up in Detroit's food scene - can't wait to try that new brunch menu 
i mean dont get me wrong, shaw's got skills but its just a dog with some fancy toppings 
meanwhile, i'll take my classic patty mcmuffin from mccoy's anytime 
The fact that they're combining plant-based eats with arcade games and pinball is just genius - it's like a total blast from the past. And can we talk about how awesome it is to see Meghan Shaw bringing her passion project to life in such an amazing neighborhood?
! I mean, I'm stoked for the new location and all, but can't they just optimize their website instead of opening another brick-and-mortar? 
.
. I'm all about trying new restaurants and Street Beet sounds like a real treat. Can't wait to try their milkshakes and mocktails too 
. It's gonna be so much fun to hang out at this restaurant, whether you're grabbing a quick bite or chillin' for hours playing classic pinball machines. The fact that they're focusing on quality food, entertainment, and community engagement is really admirable 
And the outdoor patio seating? Come on, who doesn't love a good patio with a view? 
, I'm low-key obsessed with the idea of vegan coney dogs at first. can't wait to try their smashburgers & malts 
pinball games? yes pls!
