Your typical Yooper bar. The locals are great, the bartender was friendly and chatty, it's like walking into your neighborhood hangout spot and you don't feel like a stranger even as an out-of-towner. I tried the Reuben Quesadilla and it was 10/10. Crispy tortilla, hot fresh Swiss and corned beef, tangy Kraut, 1000 Island for dipping--a meal that could cure the worst of my hangovers. Their pasty's are DELICIOUS. Handmade, huge, great price, served hot and fresh to eat or cold to take home for later. The Bloody Mary was decent but nothing to write home about but I truly came for the food and wasn't disappointed one bit! Great prices, big menu, tons of seating, locals to chat with, and they offer bar or table seating (it also looks like they could accommodate larger parties if needed). Added as an absolute must-stop on my list of places in the Marquette/Harvey area. (Their online menu isn't current if you're on Google but it's pretty similar!) read more

The Dry Dock - Pasty - Bars Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

The Dry Dock is one of those places in the Harvey area that works best when you treat it like a dependable local bar and grill rather than expecting a polished dining experience. It has a very established rhythm to it, and that familiarity is part of why people keep going back. On the food side, the menu leans heavily into comfort-style bar food, and the execution is stronger than expected for a place with such a broad lineup. I ordered the Loaded Dock Pizza, which is an actual menu item there, and it was surprisingly solid. The crust had more structure than the average bar pizza, with enough sauce and cheese balance that the toppings did not overwhelm everything underneath. It felt intentionally made rather than just thrown together for convenience. Service is where this place earns a lot of its reputation. Even when it gets busy, staff usually keep the flow moving without making customers feel ignored. It has that experienced local-bar energy where people know how to handle regulars, larger groups, and quick turnover all at once without the whole place feeling disorganized. The ambiance is very classic U.P. tavern culture. Sports on TVs, steady background noise, wood-heavy interior elements, and a casual crowd that ranges from locals stopping in after work to families grabbing dinner. It feels lived-in rather than curated, which honestly fits the place perfectly. Overall, The Dry Dock Bar & Grill succeeds because it understands exactly what it is. The food is reliably above average for a bar-and-grill setup, service stays efficient even during rushes, and the atmosphere feels authentic instead of manufactured. read more

At least two things make this place standout from a regular bar. 1) Breakfast! Not many neighborhood bars serve a daily breakfast.... And it good! Including breakfast pizza! 2). A daily soup menu with something like 8 homemade soups. Today I tried a cup of Chicken noodle. Not only was it a very big "cup" it was "just like mom makes". I loved it! So this bar does breakfast, lunch and dinner. Has a friendly staff and list of seating. No reason to drive all the way to Marquette to eat! read more

I have been here pretty much every day since I've been in Marquette. Every meal was great. Been here for breakfast twice and had dinner once. They use good ingredients. They cooked their eggs damn near perfect. The staff is very friendly and responsive. I highly recommend this place. Keep up the good work. read more

This place is great. Fast service, excellent food, and relaxed atmosphere. The parking lot is always packed so that speaks volumes. Burgers are great, salads are super fresh and generously made. The Reuben Quesadilla is outstanding. Never a bad meal with reasonable prices and the beverages are icy cold. A win win all the way around. read more

This is our go to for food and affordable drinks! Whether we are staying at home for a cozy night in or just got done playing outside all day and need a recovery meal, this is our spot. The food is consistently good and the service is alright (can kind of be a toss up depending who your server is) but it is a laid back dive bar so it is to be expected. A majority of the employees there are so great and excellent servers. The breakfast is to die for and I cannot recommend it enough! They just updated their menu and it is all really tasty so far! My only note is I wish they had different lettuce for their salads (it's mainly iceberg but unsure of exact mix), I would probably get them a lot more if they did! read more

After a long day of house hunting, The Smokin'Hubster and I needed two things: Beer and Dinner, stat. We had a lot of choices in the area but, honestly, after six hours in the car, we did not want to venture far from the hotel. The parking lot was full, but we had nothing to worry about inside. We stepped into The Dry Dock and it was comfortably busy on a Friday night. The tables were distanced, we were greeted right away and a server quickly came to the table to wipe it down and get us settled. For two visitors, we felt like regulars with the friendly treatment. I love that they have Bell's on tap, so my Oberon and I were acquainted promptly. We enjoyed the beers and looked over the menu. Nearly every spot in the area has posted apologies for any delay and menu changes (COVID does not discriminate; everyone feels the effect) but we perceived no slowness. Service was hopping, everyone around us was laughing and having fun. Honestly, it was the best night out we could have hoped for! The Hubs ordered the shrimp basket - which had a large portion of fries and shrimp - but the star was the Cudighi Sandwich. What's that? Oh, you gotta try this! It's similar to Italian sausage but so much... deeper? richer? yummier! This sandwich was smothered in sauce, veggies (peppers + shrooms + onions) and cheese; what's not to love?! We will be back to visit The Dry Dock. The menu practically demands further exploration. read more

This is the second time in about 2 months that we sat at the Dry Dock for over an hour and our food never came. Tables around us who came 1/2 hour after us were finishing their meals. The excuse was "it's coming". Simple order - reuban sandwich and chicken sandwich. We frequent this restaurant at least once a week with several different groups of friends and business groups. Will be sharing our experience with all of them! read more

The service was unbelievable even if they are slammed, you would never know it by how calm the servers and bartenders are. Breakfast is unreal.It's like your grandma cooked it. Burgers are great.I have never had anything there to complain about. read more

Thought the pizza was fantastic the dough was tasty and the crust had a great flavor Came in and grabbed a carry out Check it out read more

God damn God damn they're right. Heard lots of good things about the fun friendly vibe here and the good food and they're right. Especially the pizza. Got the Loaded Dock ....has everything but the kitchen sink!! You know, it doesn't take a whole lot to make an excellent pizza. A little bit of care and attentiveness. Good ingredients. A great recipe. Absolutely loved this pizza and I'd do it again and again and again for all those things and they weren't cheap with the ingredients. Awesome sauce literally and figuratively :) Wonderfully interesting history here. Also heard people really love their breakfast and from looking at the pictures they might be right. read more

I stopped here on my way back home. It was recommended by a local who advise the omelettes are the best! There is plenty of parking and the place was quite busy. You'd never really know this was the place to be when driving by. The service was top notch and the seating, televisions and sports memorabilia made it a memorable experience. This is a must-stop if you're visiting the area. read more

Vacationing in Marquette and every time I passed this place it was busy so had to try it. Heading out of town we stopped for breakfast. All I can say is come hungry or decide to share -- or a box is in your future. The Mexican omelet is huge. It comes with a side of potatoes and toast. Very yummy and can feed two. My husband said it was great -- so good that he ate it all and it really was huge. The side spiced potatoes were also excellent. The sausage egg sandwich was ho hum, dry and not as good as Mc Donald's egg McMuffin at twice the price. Service was adequate. The server did not tell us about the daily specials. We would give it a second chance. read more

Pizza is so good. Thicker crust (not usually my choice) but a good amount of delicious sauce, cheese, and other toppings Cudighi sandwich (Italian sausage) also very good, and can add toppings of your choice. The ONLY thing I'd change is to have a good hard Italian roll used, instead of a hamburger type bun that got quite soggy Delicious seasoned waffle fries also. Definitely a return visit for us, as it's a popular local place and many other items on menu looked great read more

Good food, Alright service, and a good overall vibe. Would recommend the place. With many bar options and semi clean bathrooms. read more

This is a great unpretentious place. The staff was down to earth and friendly. The reuben was the best I ever had. Would love to come back for breakfast sometime. My kinda place!!! read more

Love this place! My bf and I stop here on our way back from Houghton every time. It's typical pub food, but good pub food and huge amounts for the price! Mixed drinks are good, and the locals are hilarious and super friendly! Can be slow service if busy, but have patience and take it all in :) read more

The Dry Dock - Loaded Sidewinders and nachos from the apps list - Bars Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

Stopped in for what would've been a nice Saturday brunch. When we sat down at the table, the waitress by the name of "Dee" took my order which was a side of toast. She responded "Well aren't you boring?!" I was completely taken aback. I don't go out and support local establishments to get judged and ridiculed for what I eat. Incredibly poor customer service skills, I don't know if I will come back... read more

Dive bar with pretty good food. People come here for affordable, looser, more lenient vibe I feel. Service is so so, but it's who they are. Not great not terrible. Breakfast was about 1.25 hr wait from door until the food hit the table read more

Lots of toppings and great bun. Now the bad they use roast beef lunch meat which was the total downfall of the sandwich. Nachos were outstanding. Service was exceptional read more

This is my go to place when I'm hungry . The food is consistently delicious and plenty of it . The Menu has plenty to choose from with a great variety. When I'm in burger mode the Monster Burger with Pub fry's is my favorite. The service is outstanding and the atmosphere is fun. Jukebox playing. Pool tables available and a great place to unwind and feed the beast ...... read more

The Dry Dock - Monster Cheeseburger and fry's - Bars Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

I absolutely love this place. I cannot stress enough how much I LOVE this place. Small town feel. Good service. Lots of shop talk. The menu is a lot of fried food fair if you're into that. I always get the gluten-free supreme pizza with light cheese and a mule. This place is so chill that one week my husband was out of town and I ate dinner here for a week straight. Pizza every night! Apparently they have amazing breakfast--I haven't tried it myself. read more

Great nachos (HUGE portions!!!) and phenomenal soup! I have heard that the breakfast is amazing and would love to try more from their menu.

Great breakfast pizza and omelette! Friendly staff and cool atmosphere. Definitely coming back.

Stumbled on this place while riding motorcycle through the UP. Great breakfast! Good service. The waitress was very accommodating with everything thing we requested. read more

So I just started my trip to the UP and after riding my motorcycle for 550 miles I asked my AirBNB host where I could get something to eat. They suggested this place. Looked it up and had decent reviews. The two stars are for food portions. Ordered the steak salad, and it really was a lot of food. A bit salty, but overall good. Speaking of salty, I sat at the bar for my meal and there were two ladies tending bar. My shoe has more personality than the two combined. Came to the UP for the scenery and from what everyone says, the friendly people to have conversation with. I guess if you're a local it is probably good, but as someone passing through, it's like going to your in-laws who never liked you to begin with. Skip this spot. Still hopeful that I will actually meet people with a personality up here. Wish me luck. read more

It was a little early to get in our room and the motel recommended Dry Dock for a beer. It was busy but got a nice table and were waited on immediately. Can't go wrong with Bell's on tap. The Green Bay fans were enjoying themselves. We liked the place so much we returned twice, once breakfast and once for beers. The breakfast was OK. The service was friendly, fast and attentive. read more

You have to try literally anything on the menu. The pizzas are amazing, don't forget to try the original crust. Staff is great.

My family stopped here for breakfast while visiting Marquette. We got omelettes, breakfast bowl and breakfast special. Typical bar/ diner breakfast. Food and service we're both good and portions were large. Coffee was a little weak. read more

Stunningly delicious pizza. You'd never expect some random bar in Harvey to have amazing pizza, but it just might be the best in the Marquette area. read more

Stopped in as we were just taking a drive in the UP. This place is GREAT! A local place that is very clean and the food was delicious! The service was amazing! You must stop in! read more

I can't speak of the breakfast or lunch staff as I have no experience with them. However, as for the dinner/evening bartenders- RUN! Do not waste your time or money in this bar. After spending wonderful time at the NMU/MTU hockey game, with NMU being victorious- a friend and I decided to try the Dry Dock for some nachos and beer. Upon entry we surprisingly noticed the bar was dead- very few customers despite an amazing karaoke DJ, Pierre. It didn't take us long to understand why the establishment was so empty- the crabby, scowling, God-awful bartenders. This was very disheartening for us to realize, since the Dry Dock used to be packed and a lot of fun on Friday nights before the new owners took over and put their daughter in a bartender position. (While leaving I was rudely reminded by the other bartender- not to "piss off" the owner's daughter). Upon arrival I placed a drink order (unknowingly with the owner's daughter) for myself and a few friends that came in. I was happy to buy a round of beers. After I completed my order- the owner's daughter glared at me and snapped in a surprisingly cruel tone- "are you done yet?!" This certainly took me back and I sarcastically apologized for being such a burden and inconvenience. ***Reminder: the bar was DEAD!!! Later- after my friend and I finished our nachos (which were actually good)- I returned to the bar to grab two more beers. Again- the scowling, grumpy owner's daughter approached me. I asked her quite honestly- if she was ok? She snapped back at me "yeah-are you?!" To which I replied "I'm great actually." And I ordered my beers. The owner's daughter then pushed my $20 bill back at me and said that she was no longer going to serve me due to "how I spoke to her earlier." She and I then proceeded in a heated exchange of words.. and my friend and I packed up and left. It's truly unfortunate that what was once a Harvey hotspot has become ruined by nepotism and ridiculously rude bartenders. read more

Good typical bar food. With the exception of the soup which was much above average, if a little pricey ($5.50) Will defiantly be back. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. Nice local bar atmosphere and great friendly service. read more

Have eaten there twice, for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast pizza was great, so was our dinner. Simple bar fair. Inexpensive, fast service, hot fresh food. Large selection of local beer. We were on a family trip and we will definitely go to Dry Dock again. ( We had a couple terrible experiences over the course of the trip. Dry dock was a pleasant bright spot.) read more

Good service, very nice bar. We went there because I read the review that the pizza was great. It taste like a frozen pizza with what you ordered on it. read more

The customers/regulars are really great, however, when you have staff/management/owners that are out right mean and condescending to patrons in front of people you quickly decide never to eat/drink there again. read more

The atmosphere is fun in there for a local bar. They have the best chicken club pizza. I haven't really branched out to try other items because the pizza is that good. read more
