Terrible food and ok service. There's not one thing that they did right. First my order was wrong, ok so what I'm offered is just eat that and we'll bring you another... 1 it's not what I ordered, 2 I don't want to eat something I didn't order. 3 even the free popcorn is stale. Only one restaurant serving dinner at the Perry hotel and it's dark, dreary, dirty and the food just blah. An Irish pub should have off the hook fish and chips...Nope... Soggy and flavorless... Never again! read more

Sarah our waitress is the best The food is great. The atmosphere is so welcoming. and drinks and food are so reasonable compared to chandler's. (Where we had a very negative experience. ). I had whitefish which was delicious. At noggin room. And live music too. Must try read more

Everything including the service was fantastic. I highly recommend their French onion soup it even comes with a little cheese baguette which was a nice touch while it cools down. We split a burger and fry and it was cooked perfectly as was their fries. This will be a staple now when we come into town. Don't change a thing! read more

Great bar and grill style restaurant. Didn't get any food but you do get a basket of popcorn when you sit down. We just got a couple of beers, but seemed like a great place! Multiple TVs for your football viewing pleasure too! read more

I am a frequent diner at many of the Stafford's locations but The Noggin Room remains my favorite. The music and excellent service provides an evening that you will not forget. Last night, we drove in 3 1/2 hours to visit Petoskey and our favorite local restaurant. As we were expecting, the food was phenomenal. I ordered he French Onion Soup and a side Perry Bib Salad. Both were absolutely beautiful. Our bartender Carrie, made the night remarkable! Her work ethic wasn't phased throughout The Perry's busy night of weddings. It really makes a difference when the service is perfect. I would recommend The Noggin Room to anyone traveling into Petoskey wanting to grab a quick bite and enjoy great service! read more

Great bar under a hotel that has quite a bit of history. Tons of great beer and drink selection. They food here is great. It's not your usual bar food read more

I found the Noggin Room to be a very cool place to hang out and relax. Huge beer selection including many local choices. I ordered the whitefish dinner (see picture) and enjoyed it very much. It was pretty much the only thing on the menu that you would not consider "bar food". But that was OK, since many places only have bar food. This meal was typical to a nicer restaurant, but you still had the great beer selection and atmosphere. The whitefish was broiled and a fairly large piece. It was served with mashed potatoes and vegetable. For me, this was a healthy choice. I consider it worth a repeat the next time I am in Petoskey. Finally, if you are in to history, the Perry Hotel is great. It is right in town, has great views of the bay, and overall service has always been good. read more

Noggin Room Pub - The Whitefish dinner - American Near Me - Petoskey, Michigan

We eat here every time we vacation in the area! Great live music and wonderful food! Fast and friendly service!! Can't wait to come back!

We saw this place and thought it was be good to try out. Our waitress was Celia and she was super nice! The food was SO GOOD. The fish and chips was nice and hot. The spinach and artichoke dip was PERFECT! We'd come more often if we didn't live two hours away :( read more

We were driving thru Petosky on the way back from skiing at Boyne and found Noggin on Yelp. This pub is in the basement of the Stafford hotel and is really cozy and well decorated - it feels like an underground lodge with lots of wood trims and a fireplace. Our server wad really nice and attentive. Our group had two pizzas and both were noteworthy. The one with pork shoulder and pineapple (I forget the name) was actually incredible - really unique and tasty. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you are passing thru the area. The pizza was unique and tasty - I would definitely be back if I found myself in the area again. read more

I have a friend who happens to live in Petoskey and frequents this place. I hear about it from him all the time and naturally, had to try it out. I was craving pizza hard core, and he said that this was the place to get it! It was Sunday, so we had to wait around until noon when they open up. He claimed the pizza was amazing so I was willing to wait. The actual spot is pretty awesome. It is sort of below ground so it gives off that dungeon bar feel. They have mugs with the regular patrons name engraved on them hung with Christmas lights. My description doesn't do it justice, but take my word for it, it's pretty cool! Unfortunately, the food was lame. They give you some crummy popcorn first thing. Pizza is not on their lunch menu, and the waitress went and asked the cooks if they could make me one anyway. They said I'd have to wait until 2. I just think it is silly that they couldn't make me something that they have all the ingredients for. I know I was asking a lot, but c'mon. I ended up ordering the Santa Fe Chicken wrap with fries. I was less than impressed- no flavor whatsoever. The fries were also pretty blah (not worth the calorie intake). Our waitress was below average. I had to ask for water refills, which I always think is a bit ridiculous. I think the Noggin Room- if viewed purely as a pub, is a cool pub. They have live music almost every night, which I'd be willing to check out. The interior is what it has going for it. I wouldn't recommend it for food- if you're looking for anything with some kick. read more

Pleasantly surprised! We came out to Petoskey for the weekend and found ourselves in the Noggin Room nightly since we were staying at the Stafford Perry. Not a fan of the free popcorn only because you find yourself munching on the popcorn even if you're not hungry! We dropped by here for a quick lunch and really enjoyed the whitefish pizza...was delicious with some artichoke hearts, capers, and red onions. The mixed berry salad was pretty decent as well. Not sure I liked the dungeon-ish feel for a lunch but for drinks and a bar atmosphere, pretty rockin. Oh yeah, on our last night in Petoskey which happened to be a sunday night, we had some beers and turned out the beers were $2!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Terrible service! The management has changed like the wind! It used to be a really fun place to visit, I even got married at the Staffords Perry Rose Garden....WOW how things have changed! Too many other places eat out in Petoskey! Won't be coming back anytime soon! read more

The food is good - can't go wrong with the whitefish for sure. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because: -it gets REALLY noisy in there and I generally like to talk and hear the people I'm with -the seating is sorta awkward -I don't like Sean Ryan singing and he is there all the time -I've had some bad waitresses there read more

Good casual dinning. They have a good selection of Michigan craft beer on tap. They serve pop corn instead of bread when you're first seated, which I enjoyed. My husband and I got a pepperoni pizza and it was very delicious. read more

Noggin Room Pub - Pepperoni pizza was amazingly yummy. The crust was perfect and the pepperoni had a lot of flavor. - American Near Me - Petoskey, Michigan

Atmosphere is very laid back, you get a big bowl of salty popcorn when you're seated, and the waitstaff is on top of your drinks and super friendly. Perfect for a chill summer Wednesday night. Now for the food---Let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fish or seafood eater. We ordered a whitefish sandwich and a jersey chicken club. Both came with pub chips, which were seasoned and actually really delicious. Jersey club was good, but the star of the meal was the P-town fish stack sandwich. My friend said "best sandwich ever" about the p-town stack and I have to agree. It was amazing. I would never have picked it myself before, but now I would probably order again for myself. Highly recommend. read more

Very poor service! Waited over 45 min for my salad and defiantly not worth the wait ! I will never he back

Great stuff! Every thing I had there was very good. I had the French onion soup, fried pickle appetizer ( a MUST try) and the black bean vegetarian burger was awesome! Service was great as well! They had a really good acoustic guitar player jamming out during dinner. It is a very fun spot. read more

I am a regular at The Stafford Perry hotel and is the only place I stay when I travel to Petoskey for business. This past week I arrived lateish 9:30-10 PM on Thursday night. I usually sit at the bar when eating. We were told kitchen was open only a few more minutes, so we rushed to choose and the bartender stood at the end of the bar chatting with other employees for about 10 mins before I put my order in. Was not impressed with the bartender's service( and I have been served by him a few times before) but he was talkative. We ordered, meatballs which were OK and a margherita pizza which needed an extra minute in the oven. Food overall everytime Ive been there is fair but could probably use some updating. I like the rustic décor of an old time tavern style restaurant but wish the bar were bigger as the bartop only sits about 8 people. My overall opinion is that if you want beer-it is great. On the service and food side-malaise has set in. I'd recommend an update and some service training even for the people who have worked there awhile. read more

Our waiter was nowhere to be found half the time. Food was not good:( Only good part was the food runner. He was awesome read more

Free popcorn, free music...what's not to love. The pizza is great, ordered the Greek and added ham. Mixed drink was a little odd...I know it sounds crazy but it was too strong for me. I like fruity drinks to be more fruity. Also, if you want to talk with table mates it's pretty loud but fun place and good food!! read more

Been in here a couple times now. Not sure what the weekday situation is like, but during summer months on the weekends this place gets a decent crowd. Live music. Good vibe. Tried the cheese crostini appetizer. Highly recommend it. Split two of the grinders - the Italian and the Perry. The Perry had grilled chicken and pesto on it. I thought it was excellent. The service was great. The beer selection was good, too. Wish I wasn't so wiped out from a long day. Would've liked to have stayed longer. Will definitely make it a point to stop here again when I'm in the area. read more

The food was really good. I had the sea food chowder. I like their idea of giving away a mug if you drink your way around the world. Bonus points for the free popcorn. read more

A great atmosphere with friendly people and a great local band! It was my first visit, and I loved the place! It's the kind of place you can relax and feel at home in a hurry. Great food for the price: The Whitefish was great for $20 complete with roasted tomato, garlic mashed potatoes, and green beans. The micro-brew drafts were also on special for $2. read more

Great drinks, great staff, great band, great times!!! Thanks Noggin Room, we will be back! read more

Our server couldn't have bee more lovely. Beth was her name. Our party of 8 was squeezed into a round table. Every time the side door was opened outside, we were welcomed by a strong breeze of sour garbage smell. Also, the fish and chips I ordered tasted fishy in part, which was disappointing. My husband's Reuben was very salty as well. For the price, I expected a better outcome. read more

Noggin room is a great hole the wall to grab a laid back drink or some good bar fare. While the food is good, nothing is particularly standout and it leans a bit fried and greasy. Ribs were good if you go and the Spinach Dip - while pretty much a vat of cheese to be dipped with fried pita - is a good indulgence. If you make it for trivia night, you'll get a nice crowd to give you some local flavor. read more

Our server herself was lovely, however, the evening ultimately proved to be a disappointment. I had multiple drinks spilled on me (and also on my friend) so much so that I had to leave the restaurant and change my shirt and jacket. The server was very apologetic, however, the manager never checked in (though it was a very public incident) and none of the drinks were comped. It was not busy, so there was no excuse as to the lack of management attention. With past restaurant experience, I am aware as to how management should handle these types of incidents, and I was extremely disappointed by their disregard. Also, the popcorn was too salty. read more

We had a group of six and came in around 6pm on a Saturday. They weren't too terribly busy and the service was extremely fast. The food came out very quickly as well and was by far the best bite we've had to eat in Petoskey! 10/10 read more

I'm getting married at the Perry in June and I went to the Noggin to talk to the bartenders about my signature drinks. Carrie personally came out and talked to us about what I was thinking and brought out a bunch of different drinks. We gave her feedback on some drinks and she made a few tweaks to make sure they were perfect. She wrote out the recipe for us and talked about glassware and presentation of the drink. The drinks themselves were PHENOMENAL and the service and hospitality is truly what I have come to expect from the Perry. We left totally happy and paid nothing for all the drinks. Thank you Carrie for the wonderful and personal service! read more

Wow. What a pub find. In the basement of the Perry Hotel. Bit dark, but nice atmosphere from the xmas tree-lit glass beer mugs (sounds cheesy, but it's not). Great beer on tap, they give you giant basket of popcorn to much, and the burger with sweet potato fries - wonderful. Husband had the whitefish- stack sandwhich and homemade potato chips (yes, you can tell homemade and GOOD). Sandwhich was very good too. Live entertainment weekends, bummer we were through for lunch. HIghly worth the stop. read more

One of my favour places in uptown. Check out the hall of foam

Visited for the first time during Restaurant Week in Petoskey. We will be back! The Reuben was my favorite ever. Bread and corned beef made in house. Spectacular flavor and crispness. Nice pub atmosphere complete with knotty pine walls and a fireplace. read more

Free popcorn was nice, the food was ok, Philly and Black and Blue burger were good as was the French Dip. Homemade pub chips and fries were quite nice. The smothered chicken was a bit disappointing. All that said, any place that has Two Hearted Ale on tap can't be all that bad. read more

All the food is awesome and they have a great variety of beer. I have a personal love for the pizza and salads. Plus they know how to build a proper Guiness, which around northern Michigan can be rare. read more

WOW!! We stumbled on this little gem while vacationing in northwest Michigan. We were looking for a local place to eat. Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. We happened to be there on Wednesday night (trivia night). We stayed and had a great time. Will definitely return on Wednesday of course.. read more

Great food, great service. The salads are very fresh, the michigan side salad was excellent. We also tried the beet burger and asked them to add goat cheese, it was amazing, the server was very accommodating. Bloody were really good as well. read more

If you're looking for cheap food and terrible service, you're in luck! This is DEFINITELY the place for you! After being seated at a table for 7 when we had asked for a table to seat 8 I had stepped back up to the hostess stand to find a resolution to the problem and was confronted by an incredibly rude and obnoxious hostess who was upset that I had asked to move tables. (Little did I know this was a big deal, but clearly it was to her) For quite awhile she refused to reseat us in a different section to accommodate our party and grew a nasty attitude towards my wife and I. At that point, I wish I would have taken the hint that the rest of the night would be much of the same. From there on out the server clearly did not care for us to be in his section as he ignored our drink orders as it took several different times to place them just to get a beer. The food (thankful enough to the unbiased kitchen staff) was better than the service which is why I even gave this review a single star. As a local, I will no longer be supporting this business and I will not bother wasting my time to be treated in such a way as we were this evening. I also hope this will help others steer clear of the same experience we were given. Don't waste your time and money. read more

We were staying in Petoskey for a ski trip and the people at the hotel front desk recommended the Noggin Pub. We had a great dinner and will definitely return. I had the whitefish special which was tasty and fresh. My husband had the open face prime rib sandwich and said it was really good with tasty äu jus. My oldest had a burger and said it was solid. My youngest had one of the pizzas and loved it. I had a few bites and would agree - the crust had a great flavor and texture. Overall, this is definitely worth checking out. read more

If you are a consumer of buckets of beer; like dingy cellars with Flat Screens set to ESPN; gravitate to cohorts of semi-drunk children in college gear, then you have found a home. Do not expect a conversation over a good meal. That said, the Fish & Chips here were pretty good. It's one saving grace is that it doesn't pretend to be anything other than a joint. read more
