Noggin Room Pub

I stopped in with a friend who is a big fan. We were mostly here for drinks but also had some wings. I can say if all of the food is as good as the wings, just that the cherry BBQ sauce is awesome. My friend wanted to know where to buy it and we were told that it is made in house.

The pub is under the Perry Hotel and has an old-timey tavern feel. There are several glass mugs hanging. My friend said there is a challenge to try all of the beers and have your own mug. We were here during the middle of the day so it was fairly quiet. The waitress gave us great service, though she may have had more time to chat as as there were only a few tables. I was also a fan of the popcorn she brought to the table along with our drinks.

I am a regular at The Stafford Perry hotel and is the only place I stay when I travel to Petoskey for business. This past week  I arrived lateish 9:30-10 PM on Thursday night.  I usually sit at the bar when eating. We were told kitchen was open only a few more minutes, so we rushed  to choose and the bartender stood at the end of the bar chatting with other employees for about 10 mins before I put my order in. Was not impressed with the bartender's service( and I have been served by him a few times before)  but he was talkative.

We ordered, meatballs which were OK and a margherita pizza which needed an extra minute in the oven. Food overall everytime Ive been there is fair but could probably use some updating.

I like the rustic décor of an old time tavern style restaurant but wish the bar were bigger as the bartop only sits about 8 people.

My overall opinion is that if you want beer-it is great. On the service and food side-malaise has set in. I'd recommend an update and some service training even for the people who have worked there awhile.

Always a fan of the Noggin Room! Even on the nights when the music is just a little too loud for conversation you somehow seem to make it work because you just don't want to leave! If you like coffee drinks, try the Awesome Coffee-best I've ever had.
