Dick's Pour House

A local institution filled with well-done, well-maintained taxidermy evoking northern Michigan's hunting and fishing heritage. The menu includes typical bar fare like sandwiches, fried foods and pizza but also holds a few surprises, like elk and venison burgers; also local/regional fish. I have enjoyed some terrific venison burgers here -- lean and non-gamy; and all the burgers come with an assortment of condiments and pickles -- thin dill strips, sweet relish, horseradish (yay!) and fresh onion slices as well as mustard, ketchup and hot sauce. The bar has a nice selection of beers and wines, some local, and seems well stocked with spirits. This is kind of a neighborhood joint, at least during daytime hours, and remarkably clean for a bar -- families with little kids, as well as female travelers, will be equally comfortable with the there-to-drink crowd. You can also order your food for carryout, then proceed across the street to Boathouse Vineyards and enjoy your meal with wine on the winery's ample back porch or lawn seating.

Worst service never would go back. Food poor

Love seeing old friends.
