One-Eyed Betty's Team Offers 2 New Ferndale Dining Options

The Daily Dinette is expected to open in December, followed by Pop's 4 Italian, both in reconfigured spaces on West Nine Mile Road.

The creators of the One-Eyed Betty’s craft beer bar plan to open two new spots in Ferndale, a 24-hour restaurant reminiscent of the American diner and and a larger pizza restaurant with a pizza oven imported from Italy and a wine-preservation system that will avail diners to pricey wines by the glass.

The Daily Dinette, which will offer seating for 60 and a drive-up window, should open by mid-December, One-Eyed Betty’s manager Beth Hussey and the creative force behind the craft beer bar, told the Detroit Free Press.

Shortly after the Daily Dinette opens, Pop’s 4 Italian, a 200-seat neapolitan pizzeria will open. There, “wine will be the star of the show,” Hussey said. “I’m hoping that Pop’s will be to wine what we’ve become to beer at One-Eyed Betty’s.”

The wine system will hold 32 wines curated from vintners from around the world and will be constantly rotating to reflect different price ranges and regions. Wine flights — different wines poured side by side — and verticals — the same wine, but from multiple years — will be offered. Creative champagne cocktails are also in the offing.

The two restaurants will occupy the now-empty Buffalo Wild Wings and Twisted Shamrock spots on West Nine Mile Road that have been combined and reconfigured by Birmingham architects Ron and Roman.

Pop’s will front NIne Mile and the Daily Dinette will face the alley in the back of the building, but will be accessible from the Nine Mile sidewalk through a glass-sided walkway that offers entrances to both restaurants.
