Went to this pub for our anniversary. Sometimes you just want nachos and not a fancy, expensive steak dinner. Romantic, I know! 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! read more

Mitchell Street Pub - Nachos - Pubs Near Me - Petoskey, Michigan

Easily the best bar in Petoskey and honestly one of the best ones I've been to anywhere. Yes, as a hometown 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. read more

I feel at home here - hence the reason I go as often as I can during my 2 weeks in summer when I'm in Petoskey. Cindy is a bartender & is a doll! The decor is what can only be described as "kitschy, chaos with love" & the white chicken chili is outstanding. read more

This place has been a local favorite for years, and it truly shows. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly service and a cozy, vintage atmosphere that feels welcoming to both locals and tourists. I grabbed some delicious snacks to keep me going and had the chance to try a few local beers. Each sip was a delightful taste of the area! The decor is charming and adds to the nostalgic vibe, making it the perfect spot to relax and soak in the memories shared by those who frequent it.

Let's be very clear--this is a local's place. FOOD: The portions are plentiful! I ordered cheese curds and a burger with fries...but in hindsight I should have skipped the fries. Curds were enough for a table of four. Overall taste of the food, however, is average. Despite being a good looking B&B Burger, the bacon was burnt and the burger itself didn't have much seasoning. I expected to bite in tasting a medley of flavors, but each bite was just okay. Maybe if I had a yeasty beverage or two before eating, it might help raise my opinion? TABLE SERVICE: Waitresses were prompt and helpful. BARTENDERS: Remember those honey badger YouTube videos (narrated by Randall) from 2011/12? That's what I think of when I read Yelper reviews from Brittany H. and Jay V. [in the voice of Randall]: *Mitchell Street bartenders don't care; they do what they want!* For example, when the popular 80s song, Your Love by the Outfield, came on, the 'tender on duty decided to turn it up to 11...and left it there for half the song. Locals seemed unfazed, but visitors got to the point they asked the waitress if they could turn it down. I'm guessing he didn't much care for the feedback, because he then played the song twice more. *If you're up for a rowdy atmosphere with an array of local beverages + solid bar food, I encourage you to step into this windowless venue! If you're looking for a nice, sit down meal and great tasting main dishes (OR you're allergic to peanuts)...best walk to Tap 30 next door. read more

very yummy! i got the grilled cheese and it had 3 cheeses so if you like cheese i recommend. it came with kettle roasted chips that were also good! Our waitress was very nice and swift. very nice restaurant. had the old timey feel. nice! :) read more

This is a weird little hole in the wall bar and restaurant. Lots of wacky and unique items hung all over the walls makes for a fun conversation starter. 22 draft beers on tap and a good selection of alcohol. Food is surprisingly good. The fish was great and massive portion. The severs were very nice and did a good job despite other reviews I saw. Definitely a fun, laid back place to gran a drink and dinner. read more

Greta service. The red chili was amazing, I could have eaten an entire bowl. We also shared the beef nachos. Big portion, enough for 4 people. I would recommend to others. read more

Very popular place, good food, but needs some updating. Our first time there. Great chicken wings.

Great atmosphere and interesting decor. My drink was good but they were out of what my husband ordered and no apology. We wanted to order food and were given menus but the bartender was neither friendly nor fast and he passed us four times slowly and never looked at us or asked us if we'd like to order. He was friendly to the group that arrived after us; perhaps they were acquainted. We really were ready to spend money and have a nice time there but the treatment we received made us gulp our drinks and get out. We won't be back. read more

We ate at Mitchell Street Pub twice while we were in Petoskey. The onion rings are the most amazing onion rings I think I have ever had! All of the food was hot and very tasty and service was good both times as well. read more

This is our go to pub in Petoskey. The ambience is casual and fun with all the different types of signs on the walls. The service is good and we love the food. Our favorite is the nachos. Their burgers and onion rings are delicious too. The menu is basic bar food but the food is good and they have amazing service too. Drinks have generous pours as well. Great place. read more

Tried this place due to some locals recommending it and was super disappointed. To start, the energy and environment are as actually cool. People were having fun and it has a dive bar vibe. It seemed cool when we walked in and our waitress was awesome. We ordered a pretzel for an appetizer and it was crazy salty and just not very good. We ordered side salads and they came out and were just okay. We ordered the salmon with a side of broccoli and coleslaw and the coleslaw was probably the worse coleslaw I've ever tasted. The broccoli also had like no seasoning on it. My grilled cheese which was supposed to be their "#1 pick" was just meh. Nothing bad with it just didn't taste flavorful. Staff was friendly but food was not good. We will mot be back. read more

Popped in here with family recently--loved the peanuts at the table, ambiance was fun and service was great. I don't live in the area and was just visiting but if I were to go back, I would try something else next time. I got the salmon burger and it wasn't bad but there were some other things on the menu I think I would've liked better. Everyone I was with enjoyed their meals as far as I know! Xoxo, Is this thing on? read more

Mitchell's was recommended from a friend as his favorite spot to go. While surprised that it was open on a Sunday, we walked in and all the decor just gives you the right vibe for a dive bar. There is free popcorn in the back as well, so I would definitely enjoying that while sipping on cocktails. We did not actually enjoy dinner there - it was pretty standard fried and bar food, which wasn't something we wanted, but the drinks were heavy pours and the bartender and servers were super friendly! I think finding out what is on the walls was actually part of my favorite thing of this bar. You never run out of something to look at! read more

I've never felt so unwelcome at a bar. From the moment we walked in, the main girl bartender was rude and dismissive (Amanda?)--not just to us, but to every other patron who entered. The irony? The place is covered with signs that say, "Be nice or pay 50$ to the bar," yet the staff doesn't seem to follow their own rule. We came for a good time on our first wedding anniversary but left disappointed. If you want a place with better customer service, look elsewhere. read more

If you want local color this place is an absolute must! Very eclectic decor; historic, funny, crazy, worldly, interesting... it's fun. The included picture has a patriotic moose and just to his left are some funny signs. We sat at the bar and Meg, our bartender was fantastic. The French Onion Soup was epic, quesadilla was well received, and a good pattymelt. So glad we stopped in. It's a local gem! read more

Lots of fun decor in a small pub. We used three tables of four for our group and had a variety of sandwiches, soups, salads and a walleye basket. No complaints - everybody was satisfied with their choices. A couple of the guys enjoyed a beer. We were appreciative of the employees, just showing up for work these days deserves some praise. Please add alittle more to your tip if you are happy with your service. We need these hard working people to want to keep doing their jobs! read more

I've never been so Disappointed in what used to be an amazing burger. The half pound burger has gone from 8 ounces to four. The price is still the same and there's no way to make the quality of an 8 ounce burger the same with 4 ounces. read more

We were looking for a laid back place for a Mother's Day supper and this place was perfect!! Fun atmosphere, great music, full list of beers and a wonderful menu! I had a mushroom, onion and provolone burger that came out so hot I had to let it cool a bit before I could eat it...And when I did, it was perfectly cooked to medium and just excellent! Hubs ordered the Walleye dinner and boy, was he happy when it was served! It was huge and he devoured every bite, saying it was the best he's had in a restaurant, ever!! Prices were quite reasonable and with Josh F as our server, we had absolutely no negatives about anything!!! Last thing I'll say...you should try it!!! read more

Great service, great for a lions game, great for a drink, great prices and sizes. Lots of things to marvel at inside.

We are not from the area but had seen positive reviews so we tried it for a birthday dinner. We were so disappointed in the lackluster service from seating to ordering to checking back in after food delivery. The perch was almost nonexistent in the heavy breading and the waitress just walked away when we tried to share our disappointment. Needless to say we won't be back. If you're just looking for a beer maybe there's better service at the bar. read more

We were in the mood for a burger while in town this weekend and Mitchell Street Pub topped our search. Reminds me of the quintessential hole in the wall bars in all the best ways. Great staff and the food was awesome. We definetly want to come back on a future trip. You won't go wrong with the burgers. Also from the looks of the table next to us, the chicken nachos looked bomb as well. read more

Took the kids half expecting to be told they weren't allowed, but there were lots of families. They had popcorn and/or peanuts to keep the kids busy and happy. They also had lots of art and taxidermy, birdhouses and fun decor for them to admire. Service was great, prompt and friendly. The food was excellent. Kids ordered a hamburger and chicken fingers, both were great. Husband and I ordered the french onion soup... oh my gosh! Both our kids (2 & 6) ended up taking our soup leaving us with their meals. Next time we're getting 4 soups. They had a great varied menu, really something for everyone. read more

If you are sick of new trendy inconsistent menus, service and just over all restaurants that don't get it, then you'll find your at home here at The Pub. Besides a warm inviting atmosphere and staff, you'll find a solid menu with everything from great salads, soups to just plain old normal great food. Our very professional server Alydia, was incredibly efficient, and well spoken. We ordered too much of course, and ended up taking everything but the Red Chili home with us, as the chili is a meal. I always order it, and always order too much, but old habits die hard. So again if you want a home base, you found it here at Mitchell Street Pub. read more

Terribly rude bartender. I couldn't even be bothered to get her name. Ruined the experience of a cool looking bar. Wife and I nearly walked out. The owner should be ashamed to have someone like this representing the establishment. Will never be back and will tell people to avoid. read more

Great service and delicious food. fast service and great ass atmosphere with a lot of nostalgia items.

This pub is a cool place. Lots of antique things hanging from the ceiling and on the walls. It definitely has a vibe that appears to attract everyone there on a Friday night. Food was excellent ! We had burgers and onion rings. Batter on the rings was light and crispy. We watched other plates of food being served and the fish looked fantastic ! We would definitely return and just hope for a better server. One bad experience won't keep us away. I'd like to think maybe she was just overwhelmed or it was her first time. Either way our food was brought out hot by another server and we had enough to drink with our meal that we only really needed her to bring the check. Overall it was a place we would give a good review. read more

Great place if you know the bartender who is having a birthday apparently that is the only way you can get served a drink in this place

Enjoyed the way the chicken nachos were made. Very friendly staff nice neighborhood bar.

Stopped in on a very busy Saturday and the service was a bit slow but that's to be expected. The French onion was phenomenal, and the walleye was good but not worth the price. The coconut shrimp definitely weren't worth the price, only came with 5 small shrimp but they were good. Definitely would be back read more

Had olive burger, which was good. Waitress asked if I would like to upgrade from the chips to fries. Sure I said. Bill shows up, and my ~$12.00 burger was correct, but my "up charge" for fries was $5.50! After questions it I was shown on the menu that is listed at that amount. BE CAREFUL ARE YOU WILL BE SCREWED!!! read more

Wry fun with peanut shells on the floor and epic French onion soup, patty melt and of course extensive beverages for a truly downtown local flavor you got to stop in and see this place Service was outstanding and they could give lessons Love the moose hanging on the bar.

This place was a saving grace for late night food. When we walked in we weren't sure what we were getting into. The decor is vintage and funky. There are peanut and peanut shells on the floor so if you had an allergy this would be a place to avoid. We were quickly greeted by a bartender who took our order and offered some suggestions on the menu. I had the nachos. They were MASSIVE! They were also loaded with toppings and delcious! They dont skimp on a anything. I like how they layered the cheese on allmof the levels of the chips.The prices were fair and overall, the rest of the apps and food were decent. This place is a great stop when you need food late at night or a solid drink. I would recommend this location to others. read more

Yup! This place has amazing food and a bar side and dining room side. Great service and always worth a stop. The dining room side is not always open /staffed but the bar side is. The back tables by the video games can get a little toasty due to the kitchen heat.... But the white chilli, and fried mushrooms are great apps. Everything is delicious, the current chef has skills! read more

Check the math on your bills! I went there last week, and both my Buddy and I were overcharged 2$ on each bill! Heaven knows how long they have done it and how many people have noticed! I probably wouldn't have noticed myself had I not had so few items on my tab. They took it off mine when I pointed it out, but STILL DIDN'T CORRECT THE ORIGINAL ERROR! read more

Got the chicken Caesar, lettuce was so fresh, clearly straight from the garden. Best salad I've had in a while

My family and I stumbled across this place when we were in town for a wedding. It was around 10Pm and we were starving and were sent here by another restaurant as it was the only place that serves late night food. It was packed in the inside and full of amazingly unique decor. You really feel like you are at a neighborhood northern bar, and there is great service. Now to the food: huge selection of craft local beers, at reasonable prices. We ordered the perch special (lemon pepper), it was late so they only had one serving left, so I opted for the potato skins. Both were amazing with great portion sizes! We also ordered the fried mushrooms, jalapeño poppers and the Chicago Dog. Food came quickly and was delicious!! If I went back I'd definitely get the cheese curds, they looked amazing read more
