First time in Mount Pleasant and happened across this gem. Nice selection of drinks on tap, and they make their own dough! We ordered their moon bread on recommendation from the gaming shop next door, a great app but I would skip it next time just because their entrees were generous and filling. I got the sub which was more of a calzone (not sad about it, I consider that an upgrade) and my husband got the pizza. The waiter was kind and informative, and the overall vibe very cool! Worth the stop if you are in town! read more

This place is the quintessential college bar. It's got character with its many beer signs adorning the walls and a cozy vibe that you'd only get from a place that's been in business as long as The Bird has. Get the moon bread and add pepperonis to it. Play some pool, have a rum and coke, and just enjoy yourself. The service and vibe and are as good as it gets! read more

We made our way to Mt Pleasant for a concert (Foreigner, Loverboy). Yelp helped us find the Bird. The four of us had cheeseburgers with varying accoutrements. We all enjoyed them, all commenting on what seemed like special buns! I also had the jalapeño poppers - I'd get them again. The vibe is one you would expect from a college town - vibrant. Staff was short handed but made it all work - friendly and attentive. Drinks were as expected. What was unexpected was the bill.....GREAT VALUE for what they charge. We will be heading back when we find ourselves in mid-Michigan. read more

our first server, zach was great!! then grace came, was immediately aggressive and rude. we were confused as to why there were two servers and thought we were confiriming our two drinks. grace was very sassy as we were confirming, which was very unnecessary. read more

If you're looking for a "classic" bar experience, this is it. I went here to meet with an old professor of mine and the staff was polite, the room was engaging, and the food was okay, probably because lots of the focus goes into the drinking experience rather than the eating experience. read more

Took out grandson to get pizza and have a college town experience. Good food, good service. Great owners and memorable.

Burger was good so were the fries. Need to go back for the cheese bread. Place has been a staple for downtown and CMU for years. Many a student does the Mt P Pub Crawl read more

The food was awesome the service was very mediocre at best. The biggest part was the fact that they're short handed but the owner was sitting there hanging out , she had to go in and help in the kitchen , I waited over 25 minutes standing at bar while barmaid walked past me 6 times waiting on others that came up to order after I came up to pay my bill. This place would be cool if they could fully staff their bar but I feel for them this is only reason I give it a 3* ... We had corn beef subs which were good and the fries were really good , fried mushrooms were tasty . I like the drinks served in mason jars always a cool vibe at a bar read more

My Mom & I were heading out of town and wanted to have a little lunch. Looked on Yelp, read about this place and had to try it. This is definitely a hidden gem. We had awesome & friendly service upon walking in. The server Laura was very helpful in guiding us with the menu. We shared the vegetable stuffed & baked sandwich which was amazing and an awesome burger. The bartender Brady was very friendly as well as giving us the story on the establishment dating back 90 years. He was an Absoulutly awesome bartender. I would recommend this bar & grill when visiting Mount Pleasant. Great location right on Main Street. read more

A really solid dive bar. A wide range of clientele- you have college students right alongside townies and probably professors. They have a large food menu, and a full bar. Prices are reasonable. We ordered the moon bread after reading so many rave reviews here. It was fine, but way too herby for my taste. Order it with the garlic butter dipping sauce though!! That was what stole the show for me. Ordinarily I will dip anything and everything in ranch, so the fact that I actually tried both here and preferred the garlic butter is nothing short of astonishing. read more

Our food was very good! I asked for special things and the chef was great in helping me. We will go back

Nothing compares to The Bird. Whether you're looking for a daytime beer and a bite of pizza (house made dough ) or a late night party, this place knows how to make you feel welcome, and safe. read more

This was our second time visiting in a couple of months and while the food it really good, the wait staff is sub par. we waited an hour and a half the first time for our food (they were understaffed it seemed so no fault there I guess). but this last time was bananas. we were there OVER THREE hours waiting on our food. it wasn't a full house. our friends pizza got handed off to another party so they had to wait even longer. Our waitress was going to "be back in a couple minutes" but it took her 45 mins to come and take our order. Overall, it was a big mess and we won't be back. read more

My wife and I stopped there yesterday 9/1/22. We ordered the Nacho Grande it was $16.00. Turns out it was just okay, just had lettuce, 1/4 cup of beef burger, canned nacho cheese and very few tomatoes on tortilla chips. We didn't see any onions or black olives in the toppings. We were given a small cup of sour cream and salsa on the side. The place is okay, but I wouldn't say The Bird Bar & Grill is living up to the many favorable reviews. I don't really like to complain, but the food is just okay not great by any measure. read more

Great college town bar. Took our daughter and her friend to lunch around 1 pm on a Saturday. Very prompt service. Waitress was very friendly and fast. I had an olive burger, delicious. My wife and daughter loved their burgers also. One had a regular cheeseburger, the other had a bacon burger. Fries were good. We also had the moon bread as an appetizer. That was out of this world (no pun intended). We will definitely be back again when we are in town. read more

Food a great the service is good but they worry about one side too much .. will come back

Delicious. They all worked as a team to provide best service. Nachos and vegetarian sub did not disappoint. Would recommend.

My favorite bar in town! Just recently tried their Swiss Mushroom Onion burger, it was delicious! Always love coming here when we are in town. read more

This is the best bar in the world. Only bar in mount pleasant worth going to. Drinks are great, food is great, staff is great. Love it.

Great bar on campus especially if you're not trying to stand up or dance all night. They have great cocktails and amazing season beers on tap. If you ever visit my pleasant you should add the bird to your bar crawl list. read more

Stopped in after 1:00 for lunch . Light crowd, we seated ourselves and waited for service. 20 minutes later a waitress finally came to our booth and took our drink order. 15 minutes later we got our beverages and she took our order. 15 minutes later we got our burgers. My order was messed up so I sent it back for correction 15 minutes later I finally got my food. By this time we were the only people left in the place. several couples who came in right after us got up and left with out ordering due to the poor service. My burger was so slathered up in condiments I couldn't pick it up and only ate half of it. when the bill finally came it was wrong under charging us. read more

Delightful!! Way above expectations. Came with 7 of us and truly enjoyed it. Food was good, service was excellent and ambience was fun. An unexpected experience and will recommend it and hopefully get back here again. Nancy H. Traverse City read more

Went to this little hole in the wall on Main St for an early dinner. So glad we did. Very cozy bar atmosphere. Nice booths with old scratched up wood tables. Wasn't expecting too much beyond basic bar food. I was wrong. I ordered a hot sub. It was more like a calzone. Sooo delicious, fresh and homemade. My friends ordered bacon cheeseburgers. Said they were amazing. The bacon was one big round piece of it. Cooked perfectly medium. Shoestring fries were great! Beer prices were reasonable. Expertly poured Oberon on tap. We'll definitely be back. read more

The Bird Bar & Grill - Now that's a good pour - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Michigan

The food is absolutely astonishing the service is amazing and the ambiance is a mix between old school and modern

Great service and fantastic vegetarian burgers! The service is friendly and the draft pours are very generous.

Two words: Pizza. Sub. Huge portion... almost ginormous calzoneish. Got mine with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, black olives and an added mixture of cheddar in their house cheese blend. Holy cow... it defeated me! An added bonus... the chef in back personally came out and asked how I liked it. Why? Because my server/bartender told him it was my first time here. That's some amazing service... that won't be forgotten any time soon. Only one deficiency... a bartender with a man bun thought he was "cool" and decided to interject himself into a conversation about if a TV channel could be turned (just move three feet over and you'll see it). Bro, no one was talking to you. You damn near ruined my experience by that one interjection. Overall... I'm coming back here again. A dive bar vibe with great food and overall great service! read more

Food is great, love them bird burgers. Service, they do there best most of the time. Will be a good time. Ambiance, like the decor is nice. Feels like your in the right spot. There's the AMI entertainment, so I guess music wise can be anywhere. Hope you enjoy it either way as much as I do. read more
