Owner, Matt Buskard, has always had a dream of opening his own restaurant. When he saw the Corktown staple, O’Blivion’s, for sale, he knew this was his chance. The building itself being over 150 years old had such a deep history along with a lot of local touches inside that it made it a perfect fit. From the warm-colored brick that was all scalped from Eloise, the well-known insane asylum of Wayne County, to the sign located in the game room, from our old neighbor, Tigers Stadium!
the owner, of Bobcat Bonnie’s. Knowing that O’Blivion’s and the business before, The Red Devil, had been family businesses established since 1963 was something else that really drew Matt and his team in. In May 2015 the team was able to come in and start putting in their blood, sweat, and tears into making it their own; doing everything from tearing up the floor, exposing the original wood ceiling, and repurposing the chairs, tables, and bar.
