Muskegon native who has driven past the place a million times on Henry Street. Popped in on a…read moreThursday afternoon to get a feel for the place before it filled up for the after work folks. This place has always had a lot of cars parked outside. The bartender says they remodeled the main area during covid and it looks clean and updated. Karaoke space has lots of room unlike some places that want ya to sing in a corner and provide clearance. The main area has one pool table with a king of the hill setup(challenge the winner) of rules next to it which I haven't seen at a lot of bars before. I love the idea of some grizzled pool master holding the table at will and taking on all newcomers. The "pool room" wasn't updated with the rest. While the furniture is dated (and some like it that way), It has two well loved pool tables that haven't been neglected maintenance wise. Overall DJs seems like a well loved bar for Muskegon locals lookin for a song and a game of pool. There's love for veterans here as well.

Upon entering the location, I understood the reason for all the cars, the place was slammed packed. Within the many significantly differing variables of people, beer sports and karaoke lines, was a perfectly centralized table for panoramic views of people watching, a huge favorite past time of mine. There was a pool league and the players had almost no space to play their close bumper shout as it was located 1.2 feet from inside the front door-Monday nights are pool tournaments, I attended on a Saturday. The individuals that have the gumption to preform Karaoke are worth the trip to check some of them out. Most all put their heart into the singing and in some cases the dancing and add in the occasional accelerated arm flailing and occasional forward hip thrusting-- As the big spender of the evening I ordered three rounds for three people and I may have cracked the $20.00 check threshold, tip not included. Speaking of which, tip well as the service is excellent and the bartenders are really hustling to get you what you need. Great drink specials: -$1.75 beers during happy hour 2 to 7 daily-( 4 flat screen t.v.s)-$1.25 beer Tuesday's 2 to 6 p.m. Food: All burgers are $3.50 and less, Hotdogs are $1.25- Salads, Soups, Mexican food (10 items) burritos-enchiladas, nachos and such and a heck of a lot od Fryer Foods (try the jalapeno ravioli)

Our server told us about the pomegranate margarita on special tonight, so that's what I had. Very refreshing and delicious! We also had the garlic battered cheese curds. We asked for the garlic aioli for dipping sauce. These battered cheese curds were phenomenal. Highly recommend the garlic aioli as well! My husband had the Mac and cheese with fried honey garlic crispy chicken on top. I had the honey miso chicken. Both of our entrees were SO good! The quinoa that came with my chicken was so yummy and the sauce on my chicken was the perfect sweet and salty combo. I also tried my husband's meal and it was delicious as well.

Nate and I recently stopped in to try some of their new food menu and seasonal drinks. The new drink menu is Japanese themed, so we were excited since we went to Japan earlier this year. I got the alpenglow and Nate got the spicy margarita. Both were delicious and beautiful. We also got some happy hour snacks - the dijon sesame salad and the savory cream cheese wontons. Their happy hour is a great deal and I'd love to come back soon for that again. The salad was fresh and a big portion to share. The raw diced onion wasn't my favorite addition to the salad, but I did love the overall flavors. The savory cream cheese wontons were absolutely delicious - definitely very savory and crispy. I'd get these every time! The vibe inside at happy hour was pretty quiet but it can get packed as it's not a huge space. I am so glad that General Wood Shop is here and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

The General Woodshop, you will ALWAYS be famous…read more This bar is near and dear to my heart, when it first opened last year I made an effort to bring anyone with me that would come along. As a queer person, we have to protect our spaces by supporting them. The care that the staff lures into this place truly shows. The rotating menu, the affordable drink options, the ambiance and the way they truly take suggestions from their patrons. They have a new patio addition which has made the smaller spot feel larger aswell. Last fall, I came in on a whim by myself. Callie was my bartender (love), and they were deciding what to do with some Sloe Gin. Thus the "Femme Fatale" was born, there's something magical about watching a craft cocktail come together. Something even more magical about being able to NAME a cocktail at your favorite watering hole. GW is truly a beautiful addition to GR.

Dated, musty with unfriendly bartender but cheap drinks. Depressing atmosphere with uncomfortable seating...gives an "I don't give a f***" air. Typical low rent building with nothing special.

I'm talking about the decor...paneled walls, old tables. But the coffee cup wasn't that old....1990. Service is casual, the place wasn't crowded when I was there.

This was my first visit and I was happy with the place. If you've been here before.. or you see other reviews from a few years ago that aren't very positive, I'd recommend checking it out to see if it's changed. We stopped in on a weekend evening and the place was fairly busy. Two bartenders were working behind the bar and a guy was in the back running the kitchen. All stayed pretty busy, but the service was fast and friendly. While we were there, they started karaoke. One of the people in my group got up and sang a few numbers, and we learned that the song book has songs that they don't have, so if you're wanting to sing something, make sure they actually have it. Drinks were cheap, service was good, and the environment was nice. 'Nuff said!

They have karaoke, music bingo, trivia and other various fun themed nights. There is always something going on! In regards to the food, we had the pretzel bites as an appetizer. They were phenomenal! The cheese isn't the regular cheese you always get, it is different and really tasty. We had some cheese left over and dipped french fries in it.
