The best hamburgers around (I didn't say cheeseburgers)!! They are delicious, the buns are buttered and lightly toasted. The onions are chopped not sliced. I put salt on the onions. It sounds crazy, but the burgers are BETTER, WITHOUT mustard and ketchup! When friends come to town and want a burger, I bring them here. You're welcome! P read more

Hand pressed fresh hamburger. Hand cut fries. Cold draft Bud Light. All in an iconic Marquette landmark! What's not to love?

Nice place, bartender was kind , prices were good. Place super clean. Wish they had 64

There may be busier bars in town but if you want a burger and beer you'll be hard pressed to find one much better. It's nothing fancy and doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is- just a great place to sit, chill, maybe shoot some pool, and enjoy a burger and a beer or two. I come to Marquette every few months and when I'm not here I crave it. Come to Pats's Bar as you are, grab a seat at the bar, slow down, and enjoy one of the juiciest (slightly greasy in all the best ways) and most delicious burgers of your life. read more

This was our second time at Pat's. Number 1 rule: cash only (there is no ATM in the bar). This is a one man/woman show. The bartender, waiter/waitress, and cook are often the same person. Hard exterior, but nice people. We did not see a menu, but ordered burgers and fries both times. Burgers were great both visits. Good with just cheese and mustard. Also good with all of the toppings. Fries were meh. Could've been crispier, but still ate them. 8.5/10 going back for a burger. Probably not for out of towners. read more

Since the City decided to add parking meters, we decided to find an establishment with a parking lot. Are search brought us to Pat's! Small, with several customers relaxing, we found food and beverages we were looking for. Staff was very nice, great service. Coldest and snowyest week of the year! Very warm reception! Thank you so much! read more

My friends, you're looking at this all wrong. From previous reviews, I get the feeling that people are looking for "Cocktails and Dreams," when they come in. The proverbial "Diamond in the Rough." Well, I've been to those places. Every city has them, and by-and-large, they're all the same. And you know what? I'll take Pat's over every one of them any day of the week. We chose to come in based entirely on its outside appearance. "Now THAT'S a local bar!" If you want to really experience the local flavor of a place, you can't do it any better than to come in to a place like Pat's and sit down and talk to people. Some people might consider it a "Dive Bar," and if that conjures images of a dark room with cockroaches and a sticky countertop, you're way off base. But if you're picturing a place that has been around for decades, is well-established, and isn't trying to fit the mold of every other pop-up tavern to hit the market, you've hit the nail on the head. We felt instantly comfortable and welcome here. The friendly bartender was finishing up a to-go burger order for a customer as we came in, but she immediately greeted us and said we could sit anywhere. She listed the bottled beers for us from memory, and the selection was pretty big, but we were happy to take a couple shells of Miller High Life from the tap (Shout-out to my Bay City peeps--you know what I mean by shells). The other draught choice was Miller Lite. Couple that with a couple shots of peppermint schnapps ($2.75--the bottles have the prices clearly listed on each of them! How cool is that?) and we were off to a good start. Overall impressions: the bar was nice and clean! We liked the way the place was set up, cozy, but not crowded. The lighting was perfect, not too dark, nor too bright. There were a couple of nice TVs, Keno, and Free (yes, you read that right) Pool. From my understanding, the cursing prohibition has been relaxed, but we didn't test the waters on that one. The bathrooms were OLD but really kind of cool. I think the floor tiles had been laid in the 40s or so, but that's what made them cool. Yes, it could be considered dingy in there, but if I were Bill Murray, or Kid Rock instead of myself, I'd still happily use the facilities at Pat's. Maybe not if I were Justin Beiber, but I see that as a win-win. So a few pointers for you when you go. --The bartender is likely doing it ALL while you're there. Bartender, cook, cashier, waitress, Keno rep, etc. She's working her tail off to make sure everyone gets what they need. Try to remember that! --Play the jukebox! If you do, be sure to spend a quarter on "The Biggest Parakeets in Town." Seriously. That needs to be the theme song at Pat's. And someone needs to sell T-Shirts. And last, but not least, --867-5309 (Jenny). You know what I'm talking about! Take a chance on Pat's Bar my friends. I travel all over the country, and it's places like this that make the most memories. See you there! read more

Hey, this Pat's Pub is a little hole in the wall. Drinks were well made and Fried Shrimp was freshly made and fries were crispy. Last time, tenderloin and onion rings. Both times food was delicious. Best parts was that a couple played and sang cool older music and the waitress Kim has a great memory: Remembering names and what you ordered. Fun nights. Very friendly place. read more

Awesome place! Friendly people! Good service! Walking distance to Hotel.Bartender was friendly and cheerful!

Dive bar is right. That might just be right up some peoples' ally though; to each their own. I've been here a few times and yes, the beer is cheap there will always be a place to sit and the pool tables and darts will be open. The bathrooms are very dingy and could use a little brightening up. I was once told that you can judge how clean a place is by looking at the bathroom, well, enough said. The tables and chairs are ghetto, the tap is very limited, and the food is questionable. I won't lie, the "Good Food" sign on the outside of the building is what got me in for the first time, but it unfortunately did not live up to the claim. read more

Pat's Bar - a fire truck parked in front of a restaurant - Bars Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

This is such a nice homey little bar. We loved the atmosphere because it was as unpretentious as you can get! We didn't eat, but the burgers looked fantastic and were handmade to order. The drinks were cold and cheap. The bartenders were super friendly. They don't take credit cards so bring cash! read more

This place knows how to make a burger! Small hometown joint with great food! Hospitality was amazing too! They make you feel at home. Definitely try a burger here! We are from out of town so wanted to try a few things - wing dings and pretzel bites for appetizers were great! Fries and onion rings with our burgers were the perfect pairing. read more

TERRIBLE service. Yes, with COVID-19, things are tough, I get that. But, walked in with two friends (us being very friendly, masks and all), planning to just grab a quick shot and was rudely turned away as they were "chatting with friends and closing soon". Doesn't matter, not closed yet but had very a unfriendly atmosphere. Strongly do not recommendation. read more

If you want a common burger and soggy fries, this is the place to eat! The service was atrocious and the bartender/server did nothing but complain about having to cook for us. read more

In a lot of ways Pat's is my vision of the U.P., it is seemingly run by a single family( grandmother, mother, daughter.). There's cribbage played with furor and bravery. The pool tables are usually free and the beer is cheap. There is also an enforced policy against cursing, so watch out potty mouths. The food is good, solid. It's bar food that was made by people and not just pulled out of a box in the freezer and deep fried. Try the chili. read more

I've Never Been more disrespected at a place in my life... I went with a couple of friends to try it out for the first time, during a re wings playoff game, We walked in clearly wearing red wings gear and sat right in front of a tv we were one of the only people there, and we were planning on drinking and eating throughout the entire game, we knew there would be a large bill, but that was fine with us, and we actually tip pretty large as well, and we are never rude. so we each order an item on the menu and a beer. Each item was really small, but tasted pretty good but we ordered more and were planning on ordering all night The waitress immediatley brought the bill with the second meals, seemingly throwing us out of the bar... When most places would be happy we were ordering more food, we overheard the workers complaining about us ordering more food than there fryer can hold... It was ridiculous. just to their despise we sat there forcing the waitress to constantly change the bill which she was Constantly bringing us. So yeah. if you want a good burger go for it, but if you want a second burger or an additional 2 small appetizers, id go somewhere else, because they dont want your business, even on days when there is only 4 other people in the place on a Red wings Playoffs game, which should be a busy night... read more

Stopped in and was very happy with service and food. Jenny was super friendly and took great care of us. Interior could use a few updates but it is a friendly neighborhood bar. read more

food was okay, not the worst nor the best. The staff though is very rude.
