    The patio is open and ready for business come on down grab a cold one and some delicious food
    Patrick Q.

    Awesome food taco Tuesdays is amazing $1.55 for a damn Taco you can beat it beer specials you have never seen a bar and I guarantee you you have never seen a little upscale die bar like mcclanigan's Irish pub it has 5000 choices of vodkas rums whiskeys etc come in check it out Monday through Friday chef Kelly is in the back doing her business and make it every dish delicious have fun

    Classic for a reason

    The one reason and best reason to come here, especially early on a Friday? Come and watch and listen to the regulars. This is a classic dive bar that I've been to a few times over the years and it never pretends to be anything different than what it is. They have about ten beers on tap, but definitely nothing that is going to appeal to a beer snob. Bells Two Hearted and Petoskey Horny Monk are really your two choices. The classic fridge is filled with a few more choices but the classics dominate the selections. They have a small kitchen with a classic bar menu. It's Friday during lent so Fish and Chips is on special, and the prices are way better than you will find anywhere else. The service is always great. I've always say at the bar so I can only speak to that but I honestly can't imagine any of it being bad. If you're looking for an authentic experience in a town full of pretentious people this is one of the few ones.

    Good bar, huge TV.

    It's you typical hole in the wall. And I mean hole. It's got cheap drinks, keno, loud music, loud crowd, crappy bar stools, and a crappy old bar top. The food comes from a tiny run down kitchen where everything is deep fried, maybe even the burgers. The popcorn is so salty it should be against the law, but you'll eat it anyways because it's addictive. The bartenders asks if you want another at appropriate times, so she does her job well enough. Don't use the bathroom unless you absolutely have to, and then, try to hold it a little longer. It's cheap, tall, cold, strong drinks. I'm in.

    Booze and liquid marijuana shots...thanks Aleana for the recommendation:)

    So we went for the karaoke, booze and shots. It's your typical dive, but the staff there is friendly, fun and efficient. We were offered menus but had eaten already. If you're looking for cheap booze, eats and karaoke stop by!

    Quite a valuable service!

    Crabby staff. Not going back in this lifetime. Too many people leaving drunk. Assume they did not arrive that way.

The next thing you notice as you round the corner and see that there's much more of the restaurant, is the smell of pine. Every surface - walls, floor, and ceiling - is made of pristine planks of pine. I feel like I've been camping, and I found an amazing spot among the pines. I ordered a cup of clam chowder. $8 seems like a bit much for a small cup at first, until you take your first taste. There's so much savory clam coming through with every spoonful. I took my time finishing the cup. My wife ordered the salmon salad, which also seemed to have a smallish portion, but which made up for it with quality. That seems to be the theme here. I'm glad I had heard about this one before, otherwise I would never have thought to order the knuckle sandwich. It's nothing at all like what the name suggests (I.e. large amounts of ham and steak); it's actually lobster. No: actual lobster. Not that imposter they serve at some places. It's like a lobster roll on a buttery grilled cheese sandwich. I wanted the experience to last with this amazing sandwich. I can't wait until I get to enjoy another amazing meal with the smell of pine in the air.

My daughter loved the burger and I loved the Rueben, I had it with coleslaw instead of sauerkraut. The Coleslaw set it off. The service was A+. The vibe was a louder crowd but to loud where it was annoying. You could hear yourself think and be able to hold a conversation with your party. Normally for a Bar and Grill with the bar that close to the diners, you don't think it would work for a family to sit and enjoy dinner but overall, the experience was amazing.

Defeating the purpose for the reason that I called. When I asked her name, I was told her name is Amber. Let me just say, she almost lost you all some business! BTW... there were plenty of open tables in "the rush". No reason to have been so rude and a witch. Seriously! Amber gets 0 stars! I'd be SHOCKED if this is the first complaint about her. Your other 2 ... they are the ONLY reason we still came that day and will continue. Desiree and Maggie are the only reason I put 5 stars. If Im ever seated in Amber's section, I and my money will leave!
