  So glad it is open again.  Beautifully restored 1890's bar.  We stopped in for a quick drink. Quiet on a Saturday afternoon so we chatted with bartender.  Friendly, great atmosphere.  Local draft beer, a soda, and a little souvenir cost $6.00.   He said they have live music often too.  Great place. Everyone who visits Calumet should pay a visit.

  If you find yourself in the You. Pee. of Michigan, head to Shute's, find a water pipe that runs the along the walls from floor to ceiling and cozy up against that pole like a stripper working hard for some money -because congratulations you have found the warmest spot in all of Northern MICHIGAN!
  
  Shute's is a nice quite tavern, with all of the old charm from the 1920's. If you are looking for historic this is the one place you need to visit.

  If, for no other reason, you need to visit Shute's for it's historical value.  The Tiffany style stained glass canopy over the bar is awesome, and I believe it dates back to the 1890's.  Food menu is very limited but sitting at the bar, enjoying a beer, and visiting with the locals is timeless!

  I often visit Upper Michigan to hang out with wife's old friends. In the UP, in the former mining boom town of Calumet, there is a great little bar that been around since the 1920's.  Its called Shute's Bar. It was owned by Bernie Shute, Bernie has sold it and is now happily retired to Phoenix, AZ.  he often returns for a visit in the summer time.  The new people who are running it now has preserved it exactly as Bernie had it.  They still have all the old decorations, the old piano, the old long bar, same sign out front says "SHUTES". There is an ordinance in town that requires this place to be called "Shutes".  The new owner is a young fella, very friendly, very homey. The beers are all on tap now, some in bottles,  When I was there this winter, the after church crowd walked in, one guy sat at the piano and played old broadway showtunes,  This place has the most atmosphere of any old pub, best beer, most legacy of anyplace.  Watch out for the restrooms, they have not been updated since the 1950's.
