“Nice neighborhood bar with good food. Bright & clean. Friendly servers. Parking in back and street. Check out the Friday night fish fry with a little salad bar and a variety of fish options. Perch, cod, salmon, walleye and even frog legs. Walleye was lightly coated, perfectly cooked and came to the table hot. Liked the homemade potato salad too. Heard the perch was good. Menu with burgers, sandwiches, soup and salads too.“

“My friend and I went out a few weekends ago for the first time since living down here and this was the only bar that anyone talked to us at all. I recently just moved here so getting to know new people is hard and Courtney the bartender made us feel very welcome.“

“Every meal Ive had there has been great. Service is always fast and friendly. Prices are pretty standard, but the portions are large.Parking: Parking is tight, mostly on the street. During peek hours, it can be difficult to find close parking.“

“A small bar/party store on M-15, a few miles south of Bay City. I stopped in here on a mid-day afternoon, and there was no one else there besides the owner. As I mentioned, the building is very small. I believe it is connected to their house. I ordered a chicken sandwich. The grills/stoves are located directly across from the bar, so I actually got to see her make my order. The food was great and reasonably priced.“

“This isn't just another bar, with live music. This is a place where magic, memories and great people, happen by. Many of my best memories, of my husband and family were made, here. Thank you, Scotty, Jill and staff for everything, my husband's memorial/benefit was a huge success. -Wendy Davies“

“Stop in for a great burger or some lottery, and perhaps you might be the next lucky customer to purchase a winning Club Keno ticket worth $880 like some unknown customer did on November 14 2019. Perhaps the bartender knows, hope the winner tipped good!“

“It is a great bar, lots of the people there are regulars. Owner and servers are very nice and on point with their serving skills. Love it on Thursday's 1.00 beer day. Spend a little and have a great time. Other day are great prices as well.“

“PIZZA, it may not be the reason you stop in but it’s the reason you’ll be back again! Fantastic crust covered in plenty of toppings, all for $15, there are plenty of other offerings on the limited menu that sound pretty good! Give this one a shot!“

“Tubby's is a nice bar with a "home town" vibe and decor to it. And the bartender that I was served by most recently (I forget her name) was very attentive to her customer's while maintaining a friendly and inviting attitude. I look forward to going back.“

“The Expressway Bar is a great neighborhood bar with a pretty straightforward ambiance that you would entirely expect from a neighborhood bar, friendly service and great prices. We need these little neighborhood bars for a community to gather and celebrate the highs and mourn the lows that life often presents to us. Bars, taverns, saloons and whatever other name we have embraced for these watering holes has a long history not only in this country, but the world. It is places like the Expressway Bar that keep this global tradition moving forward.“

“It was my first time at drift & I had a such a good experience. Kenzie was my server and she was so sweet and fun! She helped me out with the questions I had on the menu and recommended good meals to get! She made my first time an great experience, I will be coming back!“

“Gets a tad crowded at times and drinks are a little pricey but as far as bars go it's a pretty good one. Pool tables, great drink selection, fun and friendly staff, always close to a place to smoke. Good place to go hang with friends and party in an energetic and freeflowing bar.“

“Bell bar. wowza can I say there's no place i'd rather black out. Austin the bar tender is a rootin tootin good lookin kinda pal. There's plenty of regulars that always make you feel better about your life. The pool table is perfectly broken in so it's ripped a little on the side, easy win every time. Helping highons from yacking on the front step is really my favorite sunday night activity.“

“The bar is not only great drinks, great music,but also the owners and bartenders are like my family.This is a place to relax and not worry about ripping you off. I would suggest this place to anyone and visit when I get a chance.It reminds me of CHEERS everyone knows everyone's name..Love it!!!!!!�����“

“My husband and I stopped here because we were shopping at the Blue Knight Salvage store, we got seltzer water here. As we were walking out, a wonderful aroma floated across the parking lot and this little place was across the street. So we drove across and stepped inside..it is a wee bit dark in there but that's par for little bars in Michigan and probably other places. We sat down and everyone was friendly, on the TV was game shows, so we were happy about that because of how freaking horrible it is to go somewhere and everywhere you look is a sport of some kind...not everyone likes sports so this made us happy and then we all joined in, fun! I don't like bread of any kind so I asked for extra hamburger patties and the guy hooked me up, I got two burgers and it was topped with fresh red onion, lots of pickles and a nice slice of tomato. I stay away from dressings or condiments. My husband had the chicken sandwich and enjoyed that thoroughly!! Very cute, clean place...!!“

“Absolutely the greatest experience we ever experienced. Was seated fast, waitstaff were excellent and very friendly. The food quality and taste was top notch. The atmosphere was super good and had a bunch of high quality TV’s with a different sporting event on each. There is also great outdoor seating very near the water. I very highly recommend!!!Vegetarian options: They can custom make dishes the way you want. Just ask your server.Dietary restrictions: There is a dish on the menu for everyone to enjoy.Parking: They have a huge parking lot with lots of handicap and or van accessible.Kid-friendliness: Height chairs available and booster seatsWheelchair accessibility: There is a built in ramp and the door is easy accessible and they have handicap restrooms. Outside eating is also easy for a wheel chair to access.“

“Wow. For the people that said “stay away” they should really give them another shot. Our first time we found everything professional and timely. From start to finish the wait staff was courteous and attentive. Our food was delivered at the appropriate times and in the correct order. Julie was engaging and conscientious even though it was at peak service. The food was delicious and certainly commensurate for the price. We had the smoked grits and shrimp and shrimp tacos for a main course with a Ceaser side. We loved the flashed asparagus as an app and bread pudding for two for desert. Yum! A few drinks along the way and it was perfect evening. Overall-5 stars. We’ll certainly do it again.“

“Drinks are cheap and staff is always so friendly. Thursday karaoke is always a great time too! They don’t usually have food, but do have pop ups or food trucks sometimes during events, which has always been amazing. 10/10 would recommend for a Bay City “Cheers” kind of vibe.“
