Been eyeing this place for awhile. Mainly because they sell the cocktail called Painkiller. It's my…read morefavorite drink to order. So, naturally we had to come just to order that. It did not disappoint. It was 10000/10. They use fresh shaved nutmeg too. *chefs kiss* My husband go the sour cherry and I blinked and he was finished with it haha. Next drinks we got a Gin Fizz (a classic) 1000/10. My husband got a whiskey margarita We came an hour before they closed on a Monday. It was relaxing and quiet and only a few other guest out here with us on the patio. They got a fire pit going in the evening which was nice, or sit on the upper deck patio to watch the sunset. I'd love to come earlier in the day and get a whiskey flight and try the whitefish pate and sit on the upper deck patio.

We ordered a cheese dip. A little surprised it was just served with a sleeve of ritz crackers but dip flavor and freshness (from a local place) was delicious.

I like to keep it fresh up in here. The thing is, the prices for the bourbon were a touch overpriced, but the cocktails and wine were decent. That's the reason for my decision, but I think if you're in the mood for whiskey or bourbon and you're on Mackinac Island, then this is a good place to find it. They have a large variety of many different brands. I didn't get any food -- just popped in for a cheeky drink. The bar area is a nice place to sit, enjoy a drink and contemplate your visit to the island.

This bar, like the rest, has the big porch ale which is the Grand Hotels signature beer from bells. It's a milder ipa like a toned down yooper ale.

Staff were nice and prompt. 3/5 would recommend to a friend for a drink in a murder mystery.

Nate ordered a beer and I got the peach raspberry mule, which was delicious - fruity and sweet, but with a bit of a kick from the ginger beer. We decided to split the feta and spinach pizza, but everything on the menu sounded delicious. They also have tacos, paninis, starters, salads, mac and cheese, and a kids menu. The bartenders helping us were super friendly and polite. Our pizza came out super quickly and it was so good. It had a ton of feta, and the veggies were fresh. I loved this pizza and would definitely come back for more in the future. I didn't love the ranch (I think it was just Hidden Valley), but it's still an easy 5 stars for me!

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!
