I got a few vodka sodas, a fountain coke, and my husband and I shared the giantest (yes it's a word) dish of nachos in the world. They were great. We brought the leftovers home to our in laws and although they were cold and soggy, they got demolished in minutes, ha! The service was efficient. Our server wasn't overly friendly but she wasn't rude either, just wanted to get the job done. Would definitely go back for nachos and a drink!

Easily the best bar in Petoskey and honestly one of the best ones I've been to anywhere. Yes, as a…read morehometown local I'm a little biased for sure but there is something very genuine and honest about the Pub and the people there. No pretension, no putting on airs or trying to impress anyone, everyone coming as they are. You'll rub elbows with local blue collar and service industry people, trust fund kids, wealthy summer residents, everyday folks of all kinds etc. I think a lot of reviews here are from visitors expecting The Pub to be like the Perry Hotel or one of the more tourist oriented places that bends over backwards and caters to summer vacationers. One even mentioned threatening to "Go ski somewhere else" for not being coddled I guess, which I found hilarious. They also seem to mention food a lot. For what it's worth the food is pretty darn good here, though my experience is usually over some appetizers later at night shared with friends over a few drinks. Solid burgers, can't go wrong with the fish & chips and their cheese curds are surprisingly good, easily rivaling anything you'd find in Wisconsin. That said I've always seen this place as a bar first and a place to drink with friends that just happens to have good late night food too. The service is good and the people working are top-notch and good at their job, but sometimes the Pub can get a bit too busy as there's just not a lot of competition that truly rivals it downtown. That's what happens when barely anything is open late in the post-covid world and businesses seem to be closing left and right. If you can keep your ego in check you'll find a pretty rare and valuable thing here which is a local pub welcoming to anybody and truly reflecting the full breadth of the local community.

Worst sandwich I ever had. The prime rib had a lot of fat and grizzle - so much that neither of us could even chew half of the meat. When I complained to the waitress, she didn't offer any thoughts on resolving the issue (like an alternate dinner, not charging me, etc.). She didn't even send a manager or owner over to talk to me. Very disappointed. Although I do like their cod dinner on Friday, it may be quite a while before I return to Timothy's. And although I used to recommend Timothy's to visitors and friends, I don't think I can feel good about making any more recommendations in the future.

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.

The location is one of the best in town with amazing views of the water. The restaurant could be extremely nice but there were flies everywhere and the lights etc have dust/cobwebs. The beers are pretty good and the food was decent. I tried a burger which was good. The lobster roll appetizer is good but was cold. The fries were also cold. Salad was pretty normal. We walked in and they tell you to sit anywhere. The place was fairly empty and we sat ignored for 10 min before realizing you have to order from the bar. It's an ok place but could be so much better.
