Actually this bar is called zone 18 bar and grill not zone 17. It is located on m18 so the name is reflective of the location.
Aside from that, this bar is an awesome, dive type bar that anyone who appreciates dive bars would love. Its a family atmosphere in the sense of the show Cheers where everyone knows your name and regular customers are plentiful.
Drink specials are amazing allowing anyone on a recession proof budget to atill have a great time.
They boast and stand by having the best burgers in town and i can say the southwest and mushroom swiss burgers are amazing as well a their fish n chips on fridays (their dry batter is my fav).
I never go to houghton lake without stopping here. You wont like it if youre looking for applebees or tgifridays (chain bars with no uniqueness whatsoever).
This bar is now called Zone 17. Â This place is kind of on the boring side if you are looking to be entertained. Â They no longer have a DJ or karaoke which makes it pretty blah if you are going there to hang out for the night. Â The drinks are pretty good though. Â I use to go here quite often but the boring factor is to overwhelming now.
