Around 6 p.m. this evening a car plowed through the front of Banter, just three days after the Detroit Shoreway restaurant, bar and bottle shopcelebrated its first birthday.

Owner Matt Stipe said that, fortunately, nobody was in that portion of the business when the driver crashed through the window. But the driver was taken to the hospital.

Obviously, the restaurant is closed for the time being, but Stipe says that they should be up and running by tomorrow.

We’ll update this story as news trickles in.

  1. Would it be so difficult or expensive to install guardrails?

    My neighbors put them up, after two drunks escaped death when their car just missed a huge tree and landed in the pool. The next time somebody misses the turn and ends up on my tree lawn…or goes into my kitchen…I am going to ask for one, too.

    Maybe this bar needs to do the same thing.
