From the owner: Counter Culture is a Saginaw based Art Gallery and Music Venue, registered as a non-profit in the…read moreState of Michigan. With an emphasis on every area in the Humanities, Counter Culture serves as an Art Collective and social hub. It gives people from every walk of life a chance to mingle and participate in building and fortifying a healthy culture. A novice may grace the same stage that a veteran professional controlled only a week early. This gives the community the chance to see how it is done and to cut their teeth giving it a shot. Counter Culture specializes in art receptions and music events, but it doesn't end there. Any member of the community may propose an event and work to see it achieved. Writing workshops, social demonstrations, seminars, lectures, yoga, community bike rides, urban planning and so much more, start within the walls of Counter Culture. This is real world application of what is usually only found inside intellectual or academic circles.

New to Midland. We enjoy trying out new restaurants/bars in the surrounding area. This place was…read morerecommended to us by a friend so we thought we'd give it a try. Staff is not friendly, food is average and overpriced. Tried to pay the bill and apparently they only accept cash so the waitress just pointed to the ATM machine. Thanks, there are plenty of other options, we will spend our money other places. I never leave reviews but I am so tired of paying for food/service that is subpar and just accepting it.

Do you ever wonder how there's some people you meet in life that you've never spoken to before and…read morethe first time they say something to you it's out of pure hatred despite never interacting with you before? That's the overall feeling of this place. There's only so many places I've been to where I've felt threatened by stares and could tell that nobody wanted me there just for existing. The owner who I can only assume I haven't seen sober yet has been very rude and off putting each time I went to that bar, at this point since you clearly hate your career why not sell the place and take that money to some other investment? Maybe if you have a kink for feeling uncomfortable and unwanted I'd see the appeal of this place and honestly if it was just this owners attitude I wouldn't even make this review. But it's not, the beers for some reason are $6 if not more for a bottle and there's only few select cities I've been to where I've paid that or more, so people clearly don't come here for cheap beer. I don't mean to disrespect the cook here either but considering how expensive that food is and having half of the menu be Mexican food is beyond me when it's not good either. At this point I truly feel sorry for the workers that have to stick it out at this place. So lastly we come to the fact that the bar only takes cash. I don't know any bar in the entire United States that only accepts cash, I have a feeling if you told the IRS to stop by the 702 would be no more. Last time I was there I decided not to drink alcohol and the owner looked visibly pissed, I got 2 pitchers of Diet Coke, soda, and I was charged $30 in cash for it. So clearly that's not normal and the owner hates me even though I haven't done a damn thing to anyone there. Truly this place fucking sucks and I wouldn't know why anyone on god's green earth would ever want to stop by

No. Too expensive I guess Pulled pork has no flavor at all. Ribs were just ok. They want 32 bucks per pound for brisket - don't offer it till 3. If you want a smaller portion the price per pound is more. Why?,?,,, pretty sure I am glad I arrived too early for brisket. I smoke foods at home. With pride. The guests suggested next time we just eat at my house. Fries were ok. Get bottled beer not draft. Lines are not clean. Service was very nice. Food, even though off the main drag is 100% tourist type.

I got Baked Beans and asparagus with it, both premium sides so extra. The Sirloin tips were good, however the Bourbon sauce was unlike any Bourbon sauce I've had before. In this case that's not a good thing. It was saved though by the tables Slo's bbq sauce. The Baked Beans were excellent and slightly spicy. The asparagus was a big pass. I would have expected a bbq twist on it, however they were very plain. When you're seated they bring a generous slice of cornbread. It was excellent. They serve honey butter with it, I'd add cinnamon for a nice addition! The service was good. Friendly and helpful. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? Yes, but I'd get a different dish. I was surprised it wasn't busier for a Memorial Sunday lunch.

He then talked on the phone to his buddy for more than half of the class once he started it late. He also didn't call to notify me he had to get a tooth pulled so he wouldn't be able to come to his job to teach my daughter her last class because I knew it would be her last. Then when I politely called to ask for a refund for that last class session (that he didn't show up for or call to notify us about) he told me there were no refunds. Quite expensive for my daughter not learning anything.
