The service was fun! The pizza was one of the best I've had. Great craft beers on tap.

Best wings in Forest County. Delicious chocolate stout brewed in-house too! This place is a diamond in the rough.

Fantastic dive bar serving great drinks. A place to feel like a local. The walls (and ceiling) are…read moreadorned with old motorcycle gas tanks, neon lights, old steel signs, wild photos from generations past, patron memorabilia, and Christmas lights year-round. The typical old wood vibe of many UP establishments that have survived the test of time. A spot for pool in the back, guys pee in a trough instead of urinals LOL, there's chalkboard doors with drink specials, random musical performances, a patio out back for hangin and smoking, it's just a great place to enjoy the Yooper life and meet a local or five. It's an easy place to become a regular just based off of the bartenders alone (Tori is a gem, she won't fail to make you laugh). They have great merch like shirts, sweatshirts, stickers, pins, shot glasses, etc. (I designed a few of their stickers while I was in college a decade ago, so glad to see they still sell them grab a buffalo drinking a PBR that I drew while drinking a $1 PBR at the Nickel one night in 2015). Popcorn is available, bubble hockey is a must, try a Nickelade or a green tea shot. I know they had a build your own Bloody bar at one point but I'm not sure if it's a regular thing anymore, if you see it happening don't miss it. Good price for a delicious bloody with all sorts of toppings and fresh cooked bacon! Great prices all around, good people, always a fun time at the Nickel

Terrible service. I'm 25 and I have gone here 3 times in the last 3 months and every time we have…read morehad to wait for the cops to come and look at our IDs from the same bartender that has no idea what she's doing while threatening all customers in the group. Never coming back.

Seeing it won MLive's "Best Local Bar" award intrigued me, so I stopped in for a beer and a burger. I don't know how this got put in the category of dive bars. It's a pretty typical small town UP tavern. It's clean, decorated with the usual game heads and yooper memorabilia. Ceiling tiles dish up a little history with your beverage by commemorating locals or some of the long-established hunting camps in the area. They had a few UP beers on offer, so I took a bottle of Upper Hand brewing's U.P.A. Very nice pale ale with more flavor than most, trending toward IPA territory. Burger was fair. Nice sized but overcooked, a little chewy. I got swiss and mushrooms on it; the swiss was processed and the mushrooms came from a can. But they never bragged about artisanal fare. It wasn't bad, and I'd probably get another burger there...maybe just a plain one though. Would definitely get french fries again--they were excellent. Thin cut, crisp, put me in mind of McDonald's fries on their really good days. There were about five people there when I came in at about 9:00 on a Friday. They left quickly, leaving me alone with the bartender, before a couple came in a bit later. Didn't feel out of place though. The bartender was friendly, and I got into an interesting conversation with the couple. Very comfortable hangout, even with a thin crowd. Do be aware Hoppy's does not take credit cards. Luckily there's an ATM in the back. Nice to have another dining option in Kenton.
