  It is a dive.  Alas, I have never received bad or unfriendly service. If you want that very local feel go to Mickeys.  Also, its walking distance to where I lay my head to sleep while in St. Joe. I will take it.

  I know lots of people that hate this place, but in summer time its nice if you don't want to be packed in like sardines like all the other bars in town. They have about 6 pool tables so it is a nice place to have some drinks and play pool with out a crowd.

  A pub is a pub is a pub... unless you're at Mickey's. In which case, you're probably making plenty of friends, drinking lots of cheap beer and perhaps shooting a couple games of pool with your friends or a few of the regulars.
  
  When checking my ID at the door, folks were friendly when they found out I was up for the weekend from Chicago. In fact, people were pretty friendly all around.
  
  Sure it's a pub--it's dark, it's musty, it's a bit rough around the edges and perhaps worse for wear, but it's got heart. A pub by another name would a pub be called, but in a world of pubs, Mickey's is unto itself.

  While driving down Main St. coming back from the beach in St. Joseph, MI, I saw a sign for Mickey's Pub and on the side said "$1.25 drafts, $2.25 well drinks" during Happy Hour, which lasts from 11AM TO 6PM!!!  You can get pretty happy in St. Joseph's pretty early on in the day.  After 6pm, they sell the hugeass 24oz cans of Miller Lite for $2 as compared to $7 at Union Station.  But, it is St. J's, not Chicago.  And, the friendly bartender gives you a frosty mug to accompany.  
  
  Mickey's is Michigan as I remember from years back, i.e., full of roadside bars and eateries.  Mickey's is pretty dark inside.  It has 3 pool tables, dart boards, a few TVs and cheap drinks.  You know the thin "outdoor carpet" that people put on their screened-in porches?  That is the floor of Mickey's, and it makes the place smell musty like it has had its fair share of spillage and cigarette butt action over the years.
  
  But, 11AM TO 6PM HAPPY HOUR?  Borat would say, "Very Nice!!!  How much?"  $1.25 for an ice cold beer!

  Used to go here all the time in summer when back from college. Place is a total dive but either you love that or hate it. Best ever was one night coming in after I believe Venetioan and it had been raining so had taken off our shirts for the walk. We walk in and one of the burley old waitresses  yells out" You guys twenty one?" we answer yes even if we all werent. The she says" well then put on your damn shirts!" Classic place... back in the day in old location was actually more of a restaurant also.
