Went to this pub for our anniversary. Sometimes you just want nachos and not a fancy, expensive…read moresteak 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!

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

They will play the entire record, which is awesome, but I think the difficulty is not knowing what vibe the patrons are feeling so the music can be hit or miss if you're not enjoying someone else's choice. I love the vibes and the cozy seating, it's perfect for a date night. The cocktails were good but definitely on the pricey side. I think it was $19 for mine and it was okay. Not worth that cost but I think they're paying more the ambiance than anything else. I'll definitely want to come back and chill but maybe consider a simple drink vs a signature cocktail. Everyone was super friendly and I really enjoyed my time!

This was a delicious experience and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the food here was. We…read moredid two different apps during this visit. First up were the Cheese Curds with ranch. The breading very crispy, and it had a good flavor to it. I would say I was a little disappointed that these were made with mozzarella and basically just a mini mozzarella stick. But the flavor was still good and they paired well with the ranch. For the second app we went with the Pretzel Sticks with house beer cheese, mustard, and a peanut butter and jelly spread. The pretzels were warm and doughy inside, perfectly salted, and I devoured that beer cheese sauce! For my main I ordered their Blue Fig Burger. Fig jam, bacon, arugula, blue cheese crumbles and sautéed onions on a brioche bun. It was more of an artesian burger and it did not disappoint. The flavors went so well together and were unexpectedly great with the smash burger patty. They were very busy when we arrived but we were seated quickly and the service was on point. The waitress was checking on our table, and our mains were out in no time. The Brewery is currently rated at a 7.5 on my Beli and it's a great spot if you're looking for good beer, apps, and burgers!
