Bomber's Bar & Grill

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  Every time I go home to visit my family and I make a trip to visit Bomber's.  It is a small hometown bars with many regulars.  For some this could be off putting, however if you are friendly and outgoing they will not shy away from a conversation!
  
  Susie and Donna make OUTSTANDING drinks and the pricing is beyond reasonable and if you get the chance, order a pizza while the namesake Bomber is in the kitchen.
  
  Bomber's can get crowded and busy and loud, but it adds to the experience.
  
  I would argue that the previous reviewer simply is an angry Coleman outcast and has decided to belittle his hometown in a means to seek revenge.  Bombers is a hometown bar with a working class client-base and as far as I can gather life choices have no place in a review as it is not the clients that should be put on blast.
  
  If you like hometown bars and are willing to strike up a conversation, then Bombers will work for you and yours.  If that is not your thing than Bombers is not for you, simply put.

  Some people grow up in small towns and never escape them. To most of us, these people are called "losers." I totally agree.
  
  There's another type of small town folk that not only never escape their hometown, but also find it fitting to visit the local bars on a nightly basis, in essence, having a nightly high-school reunion. These people are beyond losers - these people are downright pathetic.
  
  These are about 80% of the patrons of Bomber's in my hometown of Coleman, MI. The other 20% are people visiting their hometown and, oddly enough, parents of the other 80% or parents of kids too young to be at the bar - making one wonder who's babysitting.
  
  As my hometown those in here seem to prefer blasting country music. Not a good choice in my opinion, The people running the bar agree with their client base though and you'll find that the volume of the jukebox magically gets louder with country songs (and classic rock... which is okay in my book) and quieter when more modern songs come on. They do have one of those new jukeboxes that downloads songs, so you can pick some weird, obscure things to piss people off. This is an endless, albeit expensive, source of amusement for me.
  
  This place is crowded too and that doesn't take much. It's small like everything else in Coleman. People are constantly bumping into you, pushing your worn out seats as they brush past, rarely apologizing, and swearing when they spill their beer on you... not out of politeness but frustration.
  
  What Bomber's does have going for it is the strength of its drinks. Strong. Say what you want about the intelligence level of these country-folk but they can drink it down with the rest of 'em. Surely a hint as to where many of their sparkling personalities come from. You won't complain about not getting your money's worth here (at least not when you consider the prices you pay at other bars) - it's definitely in your glass. If you walk near the entrance more than a couple times you'll likely piss someone off as that's where both the darts AND billiard table are because, quite frankly, it's the only place they'll fit. Inconvenient? Certainly. Why would they have it any other way?
  
  Another positive about Bomber's: being in Coleman, MI means it is within walking distance to, well, everything else in Coleman. I also have heard that the pizza here is pretty damn good... but I think I'll stick with Pizza Man's just two or three doors down.
  
  Go to Bomber's for cheap drinks. Go to Bomber's to laugh at people who don't escape their hometowns and blur their nights together with a sad display of drunken conversations revolving around conservative politics and close mindedness. Go to Bomber's because you want to get drunk and can walk "home" after. Go to Bomber's because you're a glutton for punishment.
