Eastside Tavern, also known as The Basement Bar and Frank's Eastside Tavern, is somewhere you have…read moreto visit at least once. Originally a farmhouse, a basement was dug out in the early 1900s to create a bar. The ceiling is only six feet high, and is smaller than the average basement. During Prohibition, it operated as a speakeasy. In 1933, it became the first establishment in Macomb County to receive a liquor license. From that point on, it officially went by Eastside Tavern. The tavern is now run by fourth-generation owner, Heather DeBruyn. No one has lived in the house since 2017, but "the basement bar" is alive and well. Since its opening, Eastside Tavern has featured a limited food menu. The burger is the most popular menu item, often hailed as one of the best in Macomb County. There are a few variations on the menu, all made with a half-pound patty. The bologna sandwich is another popular item. My personal favorite is the quesadilla. All sandwiches come with a basket of chips, and pepperoncinis are available upon request. The chip and pepperoncini combo is jokingly referred to as a "salad bar." The history and vibes make Eastside Tavern one of a kind. Live music takes place every Saturday, and raffles are occasionally held on Wednesdays. When you go, be sure to ask to see the apron.

This is the diveiest dive I've ever been to. And I mean that in the nicest way. Watch your head on…read morethe way in and out! We had a cheeseburger and a fried bologna sandwich, and both were legit. The burger was cooked perfectly, but did need a little salt and pepper. The bologna sandwich on grilled rye was a little sweet, but the meat was nice and crisped and it was delicious. You get a basket of ripple chips, peperoncinni by request. The music is loud and the service is solid, you will have a good time here. Just watch your head!

Comfortable interior; didn't seem to have many beers on tap, mostly bottled. A great surprise was the steaming hot breadsticks---soft, garlic, parm, butter---whoa!!!! Don't skip them --eat those carbs, yum. So good. The three of us really enjoyed our dishes, I had a special, the walleye with mac'n cheese & green beans. It was very delicious, & some went home. Husband had the Ahi Tuna with fries & the green beans. Our son had a burger with onion rings, which he said was good. Our food was all so hot when served, it was great! So delicious & cozy. Staff could be friendlier. Our waitress was bare minimum friendly? but she was there when we needed her. Maybe she was tired & it was the end of her shift, I don't know, but it's nice to be made to feel welcome. Lots of menu options, nice side choices. We'll go back when in the area.

The dining area is filled with TVs and the music is a bit louder, which honestly worked in our favor. It helped mask the occasional kid meltdown and kept everyone entertained. For the kids, we ordered two chicken nugget meals with fries and a kids' cheese pizza. The nuggets were a little on the peppery side for younger taste buds, so we ended up pulling some of the breading off--but overall still a decent option. My husband ordered the Sunshine Burger and I went with the classic cheeseburger. Since it was Monday, we took advantage of their $10.99 burger special, which made it an even better deal. Both burgers were surprisingly really good--we don't usually order burgers when dining out, but these were absolutely worth it. Overall, Bubba's 33 is a solid, family-friendly spot with good food and a laid-back atmosphere. We'd definitely recommend it, especially for an easy night out with kids.

Everyone enjoyed their food and the food sizing were perfect especially with the pricing (average pricing for bar food). I ordered a philly steak sub w/ seasoned fries and along with chips/spinach dip (that was a meal itself and it came with 2 breadsticks) - it was so good. What i did notice was my friend order a side salad for additional $1.99 but her friend ordered a salad as meal which cost about $15.00 - i would say they looked like the same size; so be aware. Plenty of parking! If i had to go back i'll definitely would but the distance from my house i wouldn't go out my way. There are ALOT of TVs with music videos and sports; you can barely hear the music playing which is good i guess especially since you want to be able to touch to your friends. Happy Eating!

I ordered from the menu, a "over 1/3 pound Classic" Hotburger Combo, with fries, coleslaw and a drink. My order was ready (everything is ordered and delivered at the counter) rather quickly. I selected a seat and dug in. The coleslaw was creamy, my burger was loaded with lettuce and Thousand Island dressing. The burger was very good. My fries were last on the list, and after seasoning to my taste, they were quickly devoured. This place kinda reminds me of a small Waffle House restaurant of years gone by. There are 4 booths, and 3 tables with 2 chairs each. I also spied a booster seat for the little people. Lots of retro neon other signs abound. Dining in didn't seem to be a problem, however, they would be hard pressed to accommodate a group.
