My best childhood years were spent on the sidewalks of Bellevue Michigan fifty years ago…read more On a whim I decided to stop in to the Village Bar for dinner. I am so glad I did! Serena, a lifelong Bellevue girl was tending bar and provided great service. She introduced me to her mother, also a lifelong resident. I had a great time quietly eavesdropping on the conversation of six locals, who reminded me of why it is so great to grow up in small town America. No one is a stranger. And if you walk in there alone and sit at the bar like I did, you will not eat alone. I write about the atmosphere first, because if you live in a place where you never see the same person twice, spend some time at the Village Bar in Bellevue to understand what you're missing. It's the Midwest Michigan simplicity we've all been craving. Now for the food. I had the wet burrito which comes in steak, beef or chicken. I chose the beef which had excellent flavor. The condiments, such as sour cream, jalapeños, and salsa are served on the side As you can see by the photo there are three full meals on this single plate, all for $9 dollars. Seriously! They let me snap pictures of the boneless wings and steak salad just before they took them to the table. Both of these portions are crazy big too. They have several craft beers on tap served in frosted mugs. I chose an Oberon served with an orange slice a quarter inch wide. Perfect. If you like mixed drinks, there are no automatic stoppers on their bottles. You will get what Serena gives you as she eyeballs it, and it will be generous. So, stay on her good side and tip her well. I had a great experience. So check it out.

Went based on reviews and input from others that live in the area. Daughter and SIL are moving to…read morethe area and we love Schuler's for quality food but really hoped to enjoy this place for a fun atmosphere. I also heard they rent out space on the second floor and was going to inquiry about that for a party this summer but after today's experience, hell no! We went in and sat at the bar, ordered a drink, simple one with Tito's but it was wrong. That's not what bothered me, the fact that so many ppl walked by and never asked about it or asked anything says something. Also got to hear a lot of complaining. Isn't that what you love? 99% certain the person 18 inches in front of us, working was complaining about a drink made for a customer. They didn't like it and his response was that they could leave. I did call him out on that, you can tell I embarrassed him and he said he was talking about a co-worker. I'm pretty sure he was trying to cover, I know what I heard but he was embarrassed. It has been years but I've been a server, bartender, etc. the conversations are going to take place but you don't do it directly in front of customers.

I SO WISH more places like this existed! This is WELL worth the drive- I haven't had an experience…read morelike this outside of rural country bars in the south. There is a bar with a small food menu, and a large dance floor surrounded by tables. On opening dancing nights (usually Mondays) they have a live band, and on line dancing nights (usually Tuesdays), it's recorded music. Everyone was so friendly, and made my friends and I feel very welcome. I only wish this place was closer!

This place is my local dive. Manchester Village is a place from a bygone era, maybe not far back,…read morebut not updated either, a good place to relax. The Tap always has at least a few locals shooting the breeze, and a no-nonsense staff who get to you as soon as they can. There's nothing fancy about this place, but I'm gonna tell you, their burgers are what I'm looking for. Tonight they got my burger wrong, but it was good anyway, and I didn't complain! My tolerance was rewarded when an anonymous patron bought a round for the whole place! That won't happen at Buffalo Wild Wings, eh? The Village Tap is a great little classic Michigan watering hole. Drive the backroads and you'll surely find another place like this. But when you're in Manchester stop in here. Get a burger. Get some fries. Shoot a game of pool. Play some tunes on the jukebox. Say hello to Sabrina or Barbie, if they aren't rushing too hard! And don't forget to leave them a chunky tip. These girls hustle!

You'd think you were in a pub in Chicago, despite the fact that this is in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. We tried several of the (more or less) traditional Irish foods here, including: * scotch eggs * cabbage and corned beef * Irish stew Everything was decent. Not perfect (for instance, they use ground beef in the Irish stew) but really respectable. We also tried five of the ten drinks on their speciality menu. Everything was quite good. Depending on where you are coming from, it's a drive to get here. But if you can find a designated driver (my wife played that role today) this place is worth it. 我爱我的老婆

Their signature pre meal cheese spread, formerly complementary, weighs in at $18! We came for Sunday lunch. The quality did not disappoint, but we had to ask for bread.
