    Helicopter Ride
    Susan L.

    Listen, I will do almost anything at least once in life. Not sure that I'd do this twice. It only took me 26 years to make my way to Blarney's, as an Illinois native and, though I enjoyed the concept of (what I believe is the island bar in IL?), two words comes to mind: white-trash. Intoxicated bouncers that are more strict about allowing an obvious 21+ adult enter (to drink) sans ID, than children. The upside was getting a ride in the helicopter.

    $8 boat ride to the island + free band... count me in! I went here 5 nights ago with a bunch of friends. The boat ride was about 15 mins from the port to the island. ($8 for round trip transportation). Good band (run Forrest run). I'll be back! Note: the food was hot and fresh (well I had tator tots and hot dog)... not too easy to mess that up. The service was fast and friendly (less than 10 mins). There's a small menu and the prices are definitely reasonable.

    when it was just a small seedy bar in the middle of Grass Lake with women's underwear hanging from the ceiling.

No cliques here. The owner greeted me immediately with a hug. It was about 7Pm and this place was packed. The bartender immediately asked what I wanted to drink and within a minute a tall glass was sitting in front of me. The chefs were working so hard fixing nonstop orders of fish, fries, burgers, and tater tots for the most part. They were moving like a conveyor belt with the orders. From the time I arrived, until I left, not one order was messed up. All the staff are pretty friendly and just awesome overall. Don't expect long conversations if you're looking for liquor paid psychiatrist work while Friday fish orders are being filled. I had the baked cod (was always my favorite) and the first time the walleye with the broccoli crunch and tater tots. Walleye reminds me of catfish. Omg, everything was a 100 out of a 10 to be honest. Coming out of a dive tavern, yes. Everything had the right crunch or the perfect flakiness. Loved it. Friday Fishfry is the bomb here in my opinion. They do have a pool table, jukebox, and a couple of TVs.

The interior is an old house basement with living room and all! A few televisions to watch the games along with a $.25 pool table and Pull tab dispenser! I have yet to have the Friday Night Fish Fry but have several friends that constantly tell me it is the best in the area! Looking forward to trying it out soon!
