Cat House Lounge will reopen under new management in Howell
The Cat House Lounge is getting another chance in downtown Howell, after closing at the end of Melon Fest in August. The business will reopen under the same ownership, but new management, at 4 p.m. Nov. 18. According to a release, the cocktail bar will have an updated drink menu and small plate offerings, in addition to staff members with "deep roots" in Livingston County. In September, owner Clark Gill said the business was closing because sales "never really saw the volume" necessary to be sustainable. Gill also owns the nearby Aberrant Ales at 219 W. Grand River Ave. “We closed in the late summer to refocus the concept,” Gill wrote in the release. “While we saw success in some areas, we saw several areas of improvement that needed to change in order to deliver the quality product and service we strive for." Julia Blair will serve as the businesses' bartender and mixologist. She'll be joined by a team of bartenders who specialize in craft cocktail curation and have local connections. “I was a fan of The Cathouse Lounge," Blair wrote in the release. "After (it closed), I saw an opportunity. I had a vision for the space and the

Brighton considers altering setback rules for new chicken ordinance
Brighton councilmembers are split over whether to make changes to the municipality's chicken ordinance, just nine months after approving it. Brighton City Council approved an ordinance allowing residents to keep up to six chickens for personal use with a permit in February. Commercial uses, such as selling eggs, remain prohibited. Councilmember Susan Gardner wants officials to consider reducing the required setback from ten feet to five. She said accessory structures should have a common five-foot setback, so chicken coops can later be repurposed. "In the beginning, we do compare surrounding areas," Gardner said during a meeting Nov. 10. "We consider what has worked (well) in other communities — but then when you apply it to your own community, it gives an opportunity to get some feedback or maybe have a little bit of reflection on what’s working or maybe what could be changed.” Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Bohn opposed changing the ordinance, arguing the discussion was only coming up because one resident “created his own hardship” by putting up a chicken coop before chickens were permitted. Gardner said the discussion wasn't intended to appease anyone but to consider what's best for the community. She noted councilmembers have revisited and changed other

As of October 2026 they have a score of 4.6 stars and 535 reviews on google, with many reviews praising their donuts and I must say — they were quite good. Apart from donuts, they also had an assortment of donuts, candied apples, cider, canned goods, and maple syrup.
