Since my last review of this place it has completely turned itself around in so many great ways…read more The review I posted last may have been because of an isolated incident. The patrons and staff have since then been overly patient, kind, helpful, honest, caring and mostly welcoming in nature. The thing is, with experience that is, it is that your certain experiences of whatever you may have ever gone through or had fun with or whatever may have stressed you out at some time or another, is incomparable to the fact that sometimes, someone may just have a bad day. I otherwise have seen the truth of the patron established best bar in Alpena Michigan, and it leads to a bountiful night of fun. They have pool, or what yall like me, the nerds, call billiards, they got darts and I dare you to count how many pennies are in the floor. The drinks are spot on, the staff is usually quite responsive and the patrons tend to like to have fun more than other locations that are similar or like Barilik's... Although, This place is my #2 spot that I've ever been to for this type of atmosphere. Right behind it is JJ's and behind them are Bogarts. On another note, There are notable places to be a patron of outside of the area, such as several locations throughout the United states, let alone the rest of the world.

I chose to go to Alpena in a very off-season time (April), so there weren't a whole lot of choices…read morefor dinner. After looking for suggestions on Yelp, I decided to try The Black Sheep. This is obviously a neighborhood tavern where people know each other. I felt a little out of place, but still, I slid into a booth (ok, I moved the table and CLIMBED in; they seem to be repurposed pews and the edge is high) and the young woman who was tending the bar -- and who seemed to be the only server working -- came over promptly. I ordered the Westminster -- turkey, bacon, cheese, a cranberry pecan dressing on focaccia. And what the menu doesn't tell you is that the chips that come with it are plentiful, delicious and homemade! It was a good, big sandwich, and I took half of it with me. An odd note: one of the regulars, who had pretty obviously indulged in Happy Hour (actually, nearly everyone did, because as soon as it was 7:00, they all left!) came up to me, looked at my sandwich and said, "That looks good. I'll have to try it some time!" If you're looking for a pub with an English flair, this is the place to stop.

Instead of politely explaining, a woman yelled, "Nothing we can do! They lie and do whatever they want!" We weren't demanding service or blaming anyone--just surprised by the rude response.

On a recent trip up north to the Hillman/Alpena area, my friends and I stopped at the Hi Way Inn…read morefor breakfast before we headed back home on a Sunday morning. Okay, first, I love the sign outside that says "husband/wife daycare". Second, yeah, it's a dingy bar in a small northern Michigan town, so of course you need to wonder why you are eating a Sunday breakfast at a bar. However, after the meal was served you wonder "why aren't bars at home doing this?!" We had a group of 10 and we had to split up into two tables, no big deal. Our waitress seemed to be handling the entire bar on her own, and she managed just fine. Service was a little slow, but again, she was by herself, and she did good. I ordered the skillet plate, which consisted of hashbrowns, bacon, scrambled eggs and cheese all jumbled together. But that wasn't enough, I had to order sausage gravy on top to make up for the lackluster sausage gravy I had the day before at our resort. Umm yeah, best $5.99 I've spent on breakfast in ages. Several clean plates later by most of my dining companions, we departed for the 3 hour drive with full bellies and later, complaints of "ugh, why did I eat all that?!" Had a few bites of my friends pancakes, which were also tasty and plentiful. Yeah, it wasn't real maple syrup, but again, you're at a bar on a Sunday morning, don't expect so much.
