Bogartz Cafe was established in 2005 and was started by Gary Van Biervliet. Soon later, Gary’s son, Jason, quickly began helping his dad out in the kitchen. Before he knew it, Jason realized that the kitchen of any any restaurant is the main vein in the business. He later quit his second job to focus more on the dining experience.

Seeing the passion that his son had to change and redevelop the business, Gary made an offer to his son to inquire about buying the restaurant from him.

Jason accepted, and saved up for a few years working harder to make a down payment. After finishing culinary school at the Art Institute of Troy, and three years of hard work and savings,

Jason’s vision of serving up delicious, real, honest food came true.

Since the switch, Bogart’z has exemplified the eatery experience by mixing Detroit’s Eastern Market resources with in-house freshness and skill. From the infamous Bogart’z Burger, to the raved about Bread Knots, Bogart’z has become a hot spot right at Detroit’s Grosse Pointe border.

Jason changed the name to Bogart'z Food and Spirits after expanding the menu to feature a larger variety of craft beer, wine and liquor. He is set on making the next ten years even better and making Bogart’z a great staple for anyone looking to watch the game, grab a beer with a friend, enjoy a delicious pizza, or for anything in-between.

We look forward to serving you soon!
