Bridgewater Bank Tavern

Reviews & Tips

  This place puts "Voted Best Tavern in Bridgewater" on their menu - so it must be good, right? :) The best part is, I don't think that there's another Tavern in Bridgewater, so by default, they are it.
  
  The place is always busy. I'd say that the $1 coneys, cheap other foods, and decent beers and prices help them out. It's tough out there... and these guys will make it just a little easier on you.
  
  The staff is friendly and hard-working, and the food is about average. My turkey noodle soup was quite salty, but otherwise had a good flavor. The corn bread was sent through the microwave, so it was a little rubbery towards the end. I think that for $1.25 I'd expect a little better. The coneys were just what you wanted them to be - especially for $1. The cheese is an extra $0.50 though - that seems a little high for just a sprinkle. I mean, that's 50% of the cost of the coney! :)
  
  Overall, decent place to hang w/ locals if you are in the area. Oh, and the bathroom is FAR nicer than expected. Usually I'm a little nervous about hitting the bathroom in places like this - but fear not, it's clean and has been remodeled in this century. Well, maybe last... but towards the end.

  We've driven by here countless times on the way to Michigan Speedway, and always comment "Some day, we'll have to try that place out." Well, some day finally came.
  
  The regular menu was what you would expect from a bar (e.g. burgers, limited Mexican), but there were several interesting daily specials on the chalk board. They have a good selection of beers, which along with the mixed drinks were very reasonably priced.  We stuck with the menu for our entrees, and were vey happy with the resulting chimichanga and chicken sandwich. We went off the board to share a dessert, and ended up fighting over an extremely tasty bread pudding. The waitress was friendly and very attentive.
  
  We'll definitely be back.

  This local secret boasts excellent service and top quality food typically found in downtown Ann Arbor. The beer selection is also excellent with many microbrews you wouldn't think a pub like this would have (with some, like Bell's Oberon, on tap). Now, let's review the food!
  What we usually got here for a long time were the burgers...flavorful, delicious, what you would expect. One day I tried their quesadilla and I've not looked back. The chicken quesadilla has huge hunks of fresh cooked chicken and just enough cheese and they'll add olives, onions or whatever else you like to them at no extra charge. The steak quesadilla is loaded with Philly cheesesteak style beef that is so delectable it's ridiculous.
  The salsa it comes with appears to be some sort of homemade- it's good.
  Maybe not homemade here, but it's fresh style (more of a pico de gallo).
  The sweet potato fries are pretty good, probably from frozen but here's a tip- ask for a container of mayo mixed with horseradish, then add a bit of ketchup for the sweet potato fries sauce they have at SideTrack in Ypsi's Depot town.
  The Reuben/corned beef is stacked with high quality corned beef with very little fat. But that does not reduce the flavor one bit! It was amazing.
  More review later when we've had more on their menu. I am pretty sure you could order anything and you will be pleasantly surprised.
  Karaoke (with a great selection!) every other Saturday night at 9 PM.
  Typically the kitchen closes at 9, too. So if you are from A2, get out here soon as you can!
