At my current age of 37, I…read morerecollect memories that transcend many ideas of service including the aspect of intelligence from the staff in the form of understanding, as well as their attention to the patrons of the establishment. Every time I've stepped foot into this place, I was met with a hearty hello, or a few hey expressions or a hi there! The patrons of this establishment today were extremely pleasant. I love the atmosphere nowadays as well as how it was in the old days and the fact that it is just a wonderful place to unwind from a few months of stress, or go have a good time on the weekends during the seasons that welcome patrons from around not just Alpena, but Michigan itself as well as some random appearances from people out of state. Overall if I wanted to rate this business I would have to give it a 5 and a half stars out of 5. Truly phenomenal to be a person who enjoys the ambience of a space that resembles awesomeness! Thank you. For reference, no I was not drinking at this establishment before legal age, I actually had enjoyed some food and occasional work as a child such as wiping the bar down or sweeping the floor etc.

The waitress left without asking what we wanted to drink or acknowledging they we were there. mean time Hosteses kid stood at end bar, the owner behind bar chitchat with a customer who was leaving. After ten minutes we left. I am not sure how you don't actually take at least drink order and send out with the hostess. Maybe stop standing behind the bar and ask if we like a drink, two Diet Coke would have been it. I heard place has sold. To the new owner, good service or any service is better then customer not being helped. Maybe hire another waiter and not have a hostess. Or train the hostess to multi task. This place could be a valuable restaurant. We will wait to we hear it has new owners to return

Ordered the ribs and they were fabulous although they looked a little dry to me The pizza was delicious and Cross was amazing although I would've liked to had a little bit more sauce and next time I'll ask for that The only disappointment was the walleye. It had virtually no flavor and I would not order that again The server was outstanding and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice Very clean Definitely worth a try just stay away from the walleye lol lol

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.
