The Ypsilanti sausage-and-beer bar served its final customers on August 24, 2025.

Wurst Bar served its final customers August 24, 2025, at 705 West Cross Street in Ypsilanti.

The owners announced the date on the restaurant's social media account, according to WDIV's August 17 report. They also said the building would be renovated and that another project was planned, although they did not name the new concept.

The Eastern Echo later reported that ownership had changed in December 2024 and quoted former general manager Taylor Hamlett describing plans for a new bar, name, and menu. Renovation was underway by September 2025. The report also documents Wurst Bar's arcade games, karaoke, pool table, and bratwurst menu.

Wurst Bar operated at 705 W Cross St, Ypsilanti, MI 48197 until August 24, 2025.
