LBN’S The Spotlight – Outdoor Dining

by | Jun 26, 2025 | LBN Food, Rochester, Royal Oak, The Spotlight

In this new feature called Spotlight, we’re discussing outdoor dining spots in our communities. We talked about three different places, including North End Tap Room in Royal Oak, Rochester Mills Beer Co. in Rochester and Too Ra Loo in Rochester. North End has a small patio that’s an extension of the self-serve tap room. Rochester Mills has a large covered patio for first-come, first-serve seating, with a small open air area. Too Ra Loo has doors that open up to make it an open air restaurant, but it also has a small patio with four tables.

Kevin Sell, one of the owners of Barb’s Pizza and Pasties in Clawson, stopped by to tell us about the business’s 41st anniversary this year.
