So it's a bar. Â In a beach town. Â Right near the entrance of a beach. Â We stopped in for a drink and my friend was starving so she got some fries. Â It was crowded, and the Kentucky Derby was on. Â Our waitress was so friendly, and busy as hell. Â She rushed around, made sure we had ice water with straws, without us asking, and then came back to see if we had any questions, even though we were just ordering drinks. Â A class act. Â She recommended a local cider and said it was "non-woodchucky" which made me like her immediately. Â She was correct, the cider was excellent, and not sweet. Â My friend liked her fries, so I had to try them. Â Despite the greasy smell in the place, the fries were not greasy. Â Served with a side of ranch. Â Maybe the best, most fattening tasting ranch ever. Â Stop in, hope that you get that waitress.
Review Source:food came quickly and was tasty. i ordered the sirloin sliders on pretzel buns with cheddar along with a side of unremarkable fries. they really would have benefited from pickles on the burgers. ice tea was ok. would have enjoyed wifi if they had it, but they don't. Â with tip, $15, a little high for lunch.
Review Source:We stopped in here on a Wednesday night; the place did not look very busy at all. It was very obvious to me they do not have enough staff working in this place. Tables were full of dirty dishes and if you found one without dirty dishes, the table was filthy and not wiped off. We walked around to at least six or seven tables and could not find a clean place to sit down. Needless to say, this makes for a horrible first impression. Finally sat down and were ignored for at least ten minutes. We got up and walked out. I don't know how places like this stay in business when there is no focus on the customer.
Review Source:For South Haven, its ok. Have had lunch there couple times with party of 9(4 kids). Service is ok, very understaffed. She did her best. Burgers were good last year, this year I tried deep fried hot dogs with Bacon, bad choice. They were terrible. Decent place thou for lunch even with kids. Never checked it out at night as bar with bands
Review Source:Good bar for the area. Â We went around 11pm so I couldn't have any of those famous chicken wings I read about but dollar beers made up for that.
This place is one of the few hangout spots for the younger age group. They will randomly change the sports you are watching on the tv which can be frustrating.
If you are looking for a happening place to watch sports and get some cheap drinks this is the place to go.
Had dinner here with family on a Sunday night. Very loud, and not crowded at all, but service was pretty slow. Food took FOREVER. Crab sliders were mediocre, sirloin ones quite tasty. Loved the baked beans. Server checked on us before the food came (not sure why--we were only drinking waters) but not until a long time after.
Ultimately, food quality was good, but service and ambience were mediocre. (Not very clean tables, either.)
Stopped at the end of the night for drinks and a snack. Could of done without the folky band, but otherwise a great place! Lots of TVs to watch games, Rachael the bartender was an absoulte doll and very attentive. Had the Jalapeno Hummus with Fried pita. I was so damn good I almost moistened myself! I will deff hit this place again!
Review Source:We've been here several times since they opened in July and the service has improved each time we go. The perch dinner is the best in South Haven. Appetizers are good, especially the Habanero Marmalade Wings. The owners and manager are open to new ideas and very friendly. It's a nice place to have a drink and hang out. Plus they are very Chicago Bear fan friendly.
Review Source:Had dinner here last night.
Nice atmosphere, but you can tell that it used to be something else. Â
Plenty of space around the tables plus a juke box, pool table, tvs over the bar, darts and a Galaga/Ms. Pac Man table game.
Went with the sirloin sliders - 3 for $10. Â Choice of bread, went with the pretzel rolls which were quite good. Â Nice presentation - the three sliders are served stacked on a skewer. Â I don't recall if the waitress asked how I wanted it cooked, but they came out a nice medium rare. Â Sliders come with field greens and a pepperoncini spread (both on the sandwiches).
Came with fries or chips and slaw or beans.
Hand cut fries were a little overdone for my taste. Â Biggest complaint - House Recipe brand ketchup. Â C'mon guys - step up to the good stuff - Heinz!
16 oz. Oberon was $4.50. Â Root beer = $1.95.
Companion had a 1/2 lb. Angus burger $7.99 and liked it. Â They felt the regular bun (aka Ace Roll) was a little too salty. Â Came with same sides as sliders.
Seat yourself. Â Wait staff was okay - kind of overwhelmed when place got busy. Â Kid-friendly.
I waited ten days after Black River Tavern opened to try a meal and offer a rating. Â Overall, I think this is a great addition to the South Haven dining scene. Â We had the Coastal Cakes and Chicken Wing apps; both well above average and clearly home made. Â Nice sauces accompany both. Â Great service at the bar. Â Entrees included a cheeseburger cooked to order on sourdough bread (five bread/roll choices); juicy and high quality beef which I am told is custom ground; also Cajun Shrimp which are sauteed with fresh vegetables; choice of home made fries or potato chips AND very good baked beans or cole slaw. Â Nice glass of pinot grigio and cold bottled beer. Â Draft beer selection is okay; they are reviewing alternatives based on customer feedback. Â Interior has been renovated and is very clean. Â
A terrific new place to enjoy in beautiful South Haven.  Located at the top of the street that leads down to beautiful river  sunset views.
