My dad asked if they had Miller Lite, and before she could even finish explaining their drink options, a random guy in a Pokémon shirt appeared from behind the counter like a side quest character and told us we had to leave because my dad was "drunk." We had been there maybe 5 minutes. No yelling, no chaos. We waited patiently at the counter until it was our turn to order. Just one innocent Miller Lite question. I was so confused and honestly disappointed. So unfortunately I can confirm... If you're looking for Miller Lite, this is apparently the most offensive thing you can ask for here. I do not recommend asking for a Miller Lite. Do not ask for a Miller Lite.

I'll start off by saying that I'm not a gamer. I never played video games as a kid, or adolescent…read moreand I think I can count on my hands how many times I've picked up a video game controller. I came here with my boyfriend while visiting one time and I still managed to have a good time. The drink menu isn't anything spectacular but there is something for everybody. We visited one time when it was pitcher drink specials and we got a gin and tonic with lime. It was. A bit heavy on the tonic bitterness and not too balanced, but was not bad. The bf usually plays the same games when we go to a game bar... Galaga being the top choice. I don't recall them having that. We did play some pac man and then hit the road because it was sooooop loud from karaoke. Fun vibe. Worth it if you like games or just want a different experience.

Cheap drinks, I bought two and it was a total of $7.50! These drinks are not large but the bartenders seem to make them pack a punch. :) The music is all new age dancing music and at the end of the night, Midnight, there was a balloon, cash drop. SO much fun trying to race and grab the cash! I scored a dollar. If you want to know when club vortex will be open again and where, you'll have to check them out on social media.

The 50 cent wings are a must and you can choose from a ton of different sauces to put on them. I got the popcorn shrimp- it normally comes with cole slaw, I got Sriracha cheese curds instead and they were amazing. Slightly spicy and tangy, super crispy and the cheese was a little stringy but not too squeaky. The tater tots were pretty standard but good. Popcorn shrimp was on the small side but it was crispy, and the marinara sauce was amazing. Overall the food was fine, service is great, and prices are very reasonable. It's no wonder the place was packed.

I try not to be negative when I'm doing reviews. I also try to be fair. So here goes nothing…read more There's kinda two parts to this place. One part is the whisky creek bar kinda side. The other side has a bar but it's more the restaurant side. I only went to the restaurant side so that's what my review is today. I guess it also pops up as "The Base Bar and Lounge" but that's hard to find anywhere. So it's actually in Springfield which is part of Battle Creek out by the airport and Fort Custard Industrial Park. The inside has of televisions on the walls with various sports being watched. There's even a stage for live bands tucked away. Plenty of seating and lots of elbow room. In warmer weather, it looks like some outdoor seating and some fun summer activities. Unfortunately it's cold during my visit. My GF ordered a mushroom Swiss burger with tater tots, and I got some beef nachos. They certainly gave it the old college try. We actually shared each others food to see if the other person could taste anything. It just seemed like nothing was seasoned and they were just doing the bare minimum. There was no love in anything we had. If I had to imagine everything on my plate being frozen, premade, or out of a box, this meal tasted exactly that. I'm sorry but it just wasn't good. Now the service on the other hand went pretty good. Very friendly and polite. She couldn't give me any recommendations though because she didn't seem to care too much for the food herself. The place was clean too. At least the dining area was. I didn't use the bathroom. My GF did, and she didn't come running out screaming so I assume it was ok. I'm sorry whiskey guy but I won't be back for dinner.

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.

They also had Two Hearted and all the macros your heart could desire.

Yes, I did expect it to be. The staff was really warm too- even the door security dude. A great venue for the heavier bands that want to play locally!!!
