This is my absolute go to place for a great perch dinner! Family friendly! Sports on several TVs. Great staff and wonderful owner. Irish stew is delicious! The only reason I would give them less than five stars on is their takeout clamshell containers they are styrofoam. read more

Coonan's Irish Hub - Perch dinner with fries, garlic toast and cole slaw. - New American Near Me - Bay City, Michigan

Coonan's is more of your local watering hole than an Irish Pub. The decor is more of a nod to the area athletics. I had the fish basket and it was really good. My cousin ordered the nachos and those were really good as well. I was a little disappointed there weren't more Irish dishes. Being an "Irish Hub" i was expecting more Irish inspired food selections. Our service was great! read more

100% enjoyed our first experience eating there and would love to go back! We had the Irish potato skins for an appetizer-amazing! We had the Irish beef stew-amazing! I had the fried cod-the batter was unique and delicious! My husband had a burger that he enjoyed too. The owner came over, said hi, and asked how everything was. The vibe was great! read more

Food not so good maybe people just come for the beer Service is seem to lose us in the crowd. We were just trying to get some good Irish food, and I'm sure the regulars know what to eat, but we guessed on the shepherd pie and smothered roast beef sandwich and truly disappointed in fact, the gentleman who brought me my food said something about it wasn't up to his quality so if I needed more, I should talk to him. read more

The food is amazing. It's like the food. I remember my mom dad cooking me when I was younger. It's just fresh and healthy and good. You can't go wrong with anything. You order really the company the ownership the way they treat each other. This whole staff is so kind. It's a great place to be at any time and day read more

Great burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches. It's pub grub with the option of soups and dinners. They're affordable and has a friendly neighborhood atmosphere without feeling insular. My only downside is that they burn some sort of incense or something when you walk in. It's a scent, but not easily placeable. You grow nose-blind to it after a bit. read more

Great place for some good food and cold beer! Hub burger is a goto and one of the best burgers in town. Place is great, the owner is always available and welcoming.. read more

We were at Coonan's for dinner and to celebrate my wife's mom's 93rd birthday. The food was excellent and the whole place sang happy birthday to her. Thank you all for making it a great experience. Unfortunately we accidentally left all food by accident. We will definitely be back again in the near future. read more

Good food and nice atmosphere. Very crowded for a Friday lunch time. Had burgers and my mom had the stew. Both were good.

Best corned beef sandwich I have ever had. This is my 4th stop. Delish. I will be back.

Very disappointed. Went back again, giving this place ONE MORE CHANCE. IT was worse today. Ordered the Philly cheese steak, and lunch special. The cheese steak looked and smelled like the bottom of an old shoe. I should have gone out and scraped a tire and ate that. It was awful. The other meal was ok. However, not going back. The waitress was great and the drinks were fine. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere! Fried Fish was superb. Excellent beer selection. First timers and we will be returning soon.

Love the fact that this is family owned and Kim, the owner, knows everyone's name! Been here several times and love the atmosphere and cold beer. Burgers are great too!! read more

First visit.... the owner was one of the "servers" for a few and was very nice with supplying some beer samples (they had a decent selection). Found one I liked but he never came back, by the time another server finally made it to our table they were out of that beer, how does that happen?! The food was average, nothing to shout from the mountain tops about. Apparently they were in the middle of a shift change so we never had another server come back to us. I had to go up to the bar to retrieve my own to go box... took some time to get our check. Poor service by all means. Welcome to the north! read more

Coonan's Irish Hub - Below average BBQ - New American Near Me - Bay City, Michigan

Rueben sandwiches and hot dogs are staples of American cuisine and any place that doesn't believe in serving either doesn't deserve a spot in the 5 start tier. I'm willing to give 5 stars to any place that serves a combination of those those two classics as a Reuben Dog. Knocked my socks off. Ordered thirds and my wife decided she was going to walk home. The beers were not choice but my palate is that of commoner compared to the brilliant, royal minds that came up with the Reuben Dog. If Coors was on tap I would find a way to give Coonan's a 5.5 out of 5. read more

Friendly waitress and great bartender. Great food, it was cheap and sorta impressive. I couldn't believe how large the menu was. I was expecting just a few items. Between us, we ate parmesan fries with marinara sauce, pita bread, coneys and drank beer. Not a rowdy crowd, I could actually eat and hear my friends. I would definitely go back. read more

Great food and terrific service. If your looking for a delicious dinner, look no further. Friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Coonan's is a great place to unwind. The daily specials are homemade. I had the goulash. It brought back great memories of one of my mom's meals. Really good! read more

I stay out of my way in Bay City when I travel for work so that I can come here; there's something about a family-owned restaurant that makes me happy. In the several times I've been here, I've learned about the extraordinary measures the owner has taken to care for his customers, including half price for GM employees on strike (2019) and adapting to COVID to continue to make food for the community at a more-than-fair price. The entire staff is having fun and 100% friendly. There is usually a fresh lake perch menu item, I recommend trying it if you haven't had it before. The beers on tap are also a treat, great selection. Family owned and operated, philanthropic, and made with love. read more

A local neighborhood hang out. Folks of all ages who were all very friendly. We were greeted by a waiter immediately and seated. Nice looking place and very clean. Everyone seemed to know each other and had fun together but not too loud. We really enjoyed chatting with the waiter and with Kim, the owner. Food was reasonably priced and very tasty. This was a very enjoyable, easygoing dinner experience. read more

Great food and great service, been here a few times and every time we've been the owner has come to our table and asked how we were enjoying everything. Hot Dogs are great, they also have a good selection of sandwiches and beer on tap. I did order a steak sandwich on one of my visits and it was not what I was expecting getting them at other places in town. The owner also supports local charities like no other restaurant owner in Bay City. Give this hidden gem a try! read more

First time here, service was great, food delicious! Owner came over an introduced himself as he heard from the server it was our first visit---so nice! read more

Had a good waitress but waited over an hour for two cheeseburgers and an order of fries. Went to the bar to ask where our food was and was told, 'It's coming..we had a big party come in' I believe they could have told us that ahead of time, 'It's going to take an hour to get your food.' At least let us decide if we wanted to wait that long. read more

Fun place, great food especially the perch! Thanks for taking a few minutes to chat and welcome us! Your service and hospitality are to be commended! Outstanding! Kevin and Karyn Grand Rapids, MI read more

Our first time in Bay City and what a treat to find Coonan's! It is a small local Pub that was packed. We walked is as a family walked out so we were lucky to have gotten a seat. It took a minute for our server to get to us, but when she did she was wonderful. She knew she had never seen us. asked us where we were from. When she heard we were from a town west of Chicago she told the owner. He was so excited to come and visit our table introduce himself. Kim (the owner) was personable and respectful. The food was very good, we both had sandwiches. They were nice sized and put together well. The soups were outstanding!! The assortment specialty brews was amazing. Over all we loved this small hometown place. It was really a great find! read more

Found ourselves a table and got greeted (if you could call it that) almost immediately - but the person dropped 2 sets of silverware (we had 3 guests) without saying a word and left us wondering who our server was. Beer was flat (bud light) and my fiancé would have asked for a new one but a lot of other guest's beer looked flat too so he just drank it. The pretzels were really good! Barbecue boneless wings were as well (though personally I would have preferred to just dip them in the sauce instead of them drizzling the sauce on top as they weren't evenly covered). I also like that they weigh the wings there, you can choose between 1/2 lb for under $10 or 1 lb for $11! Chili cheese fries were alright but it looked like they were just popped in the microwave. I had also ordered the Irish potato skins but after the other food was dropped and we didn't receive the potato skins, we flagged down the waitress to check on the order and she came back a couple minutes later to say they didn't have any more potatoes for the night. She replaced my meal with the broccoli and cheddar poppers which came out very quickly compared to the rest of the food and she did end up comping this off of the bill for us too! The broccoli cheddar poppers were piping hot and soooo yummy. The person who "greeted" us in the beginning also randomly came back up to the table and stood and stared at us for a few seconds...which was very weird.... Overall, I think I'll get takeout next time. read more

Great place! Food is good, portions are sizable, prices good. They have a large selection of beers, something for everyone! They have indoor and outdoor heated seating. Servers are wonderful, always checking in, and making sure you have what you need. It's a nice place! read more

Ordered carry out today. Burgers, fries, and onion rings were great , especially for the price! Staff was very friendly and followed safety measures. Great lunch! read more

Highly recommended by the folks at Tri City Brewing. I was NOT disappointed. Great place for beer and food. Staff is awesome and so are the other patrons I met. Good patrons are a good sign. I'll be back. read more

Local friendly pub I like to go to to read my book or chat to the bartender, the staff are friendly & speedy, the Guinness is chilled & the grub is yum! read more

Now under new ownership; Coonan's Irish Hub has a spectaularly clean crisp look. The food is excellent and the wait staff is attentive and very polite. I definately recommend it. read more

The location is a little off the beaten path in the Johnson business district, but the place is usually very full regardless. The interior is a bit small, and the decor is very plain, mediocre at best. The crowd is usually middle aged or older, so it's not a typical haunt for young people, based upon my experience. However, the service is friendly and prompt. My friend and I were regularly complimented and offered samples of the beer selections on tap. I was fairly impressed with the variety of craft beers offered, and the price of one served in a frosted mug was very reasonable! It has a family feel to the place, and I would return just for the service and beer selection. read more

Best soups you'll ever have in your life! Bartenders are on point and owner has a heart of gold!

It's a bar that also serves food, with burgers and nachos being the main items of choice. I usually order the cheeseburger, but it's pretty small sized and a bit overpriced for my liking. The Hub is your typical neighborhood bar. read more
