The Great Dane | Our Story
A gathering place on South Main Street
Led by Mike and Lisa Dimmer, The Great Dane is a Royal Oak pub built on family, hospitality, and the belief that a shared meal makes everything better.
Mike and Lisa Dimmer
Husband and wife, hosts at heart — Mike and Lisa opened The Great Dane to bring family warmth to Royal Oak. You feel those values the moment you walk in.
The menu
Fish and chips, smash burgers, mussels with grilled bread, braised meat over mash — real range, made with care, hits every time.
Built for connection
Booths, brick walls, brass lamps — all intentional. Designed for date nights, group dinners, and weeknight escapes where conversation flows as easily as the drinks.
112 South Main Street
Right in walkable downtown Royal Oak, The Great Dane is the kind of place neighbors return to — and bring everyone they know.
