26 Best Bars near Long Lake

“Pizza is ok, really enjoyed the French dip sandwich! Didn't really care for the stromboli, cheese lacking flavor. Service is very good, very outdated interior but has a lot of character due to how old it is, did notice it was clean inside, not one of those stale beer smelling bars.“

“Brussel sprouts were over fried & over charred, dressed with balsamic vinegar reduction. 3/5 Steak frites was cooked perfectly (medium) & fries were salted well. Served with a mini bottle of Heinz ketchup. 5/5 Pork tomahawk was cooked & seasoned perfectly, accompanied by smashed potatoes that were bland with a mustard based sauce that wasn't my favorite. String beans were over salted. 4/5 Diver scallops were perfectly cooked, but way over salted, served with crispy bacon that was even more salty, red pepper puree that was also over salted. We were most excited for this dish, but the most disappointed. 3/5. Service was courteous and efficient. 4.5/5 Ambiance was warm & it was well decorated. 4.5/5 Glad we tried it, but did not meet our expectations for a restaurant with nearly 5 stars on Yelp.“

“Best Mac and cheese I've had in my entire life. The staff is good and it takes a minute to get the food but it's also worth it. Absolutely delicious and the cider flights are a great way to pick and choose to find something you love.“

“I absolutely love the Tall Ship Manitou. We have been multiple times over the last few years from the sunset tours, music nights on deck and even taking an overnight trip. Every time has been beautiful and wonderful! The attention to detail that the staff shows is exceptional. Really infinite of the best tall ship experiences in the U.S. highly recommend!“

“Had a great meal with friends on the patio. All of the food was excellent—a cut above—and at fair prices. We shared the excellent short rib nachos, very tasty fish and chips, yummy calamari, and refreshing strawberry and goat cheese salad. We would get any of them again. The service was friendly and good. This is a neighborhood gem. We will be back.“

“Excellent service. Burgers are very good. Burger patties are super thick. I had the blu cheese burger and the only complaint I have is the plate seemed crowded and the sweet potato tots were burnt. Not something I would tank a review for just tossing it out there. Also, i still ate everything lol. It was good. Nice lite atmosphere, typical trendy bar scene. Great food, party of three with drinks, 86 bucks. Not too bad. I'd come back“

“We ate at The Towne Plaza for the first time today. The ambiance has a cool, chill vibe. Definitely a place to go in the "off season." I imagine they are quite slammed during season. We had cocktails that were all on point. The bloody Maria's had wonderful garnishes. We had a lovely server who accommodated all of our wants and needs. If you have any food allergies they are very accommodating. Everything we ordered was extremely delicious. We had several Benedict's, pork belly, the omelette, smoked bacon and extraordinary scrambled eggs. All were on point. The service was fast and efficient. Can't wait to return!“

“Amazing Food! Can't go wrong with the Pizza or Burgers!“

“I've been here multiple times over the years but am finally reviewing this place. Their woodfired pizza is astounding. If you want to feed a lot of people (or even just a few people) this place will give you tasty, high quality pizza for a reasonable price. I've had many of their pizzas but this time around I got the Stoker, which has all their wood-roasted ingredients and a hint of spice (picture included). Another favorite ofine is the Burlington Northern which has pears and prosciutto among other items, and it may sound weird but it is so good! Today I enjoyed their Looper Amber Ale which is a very nice amber, biscuity and a touch of sweetness (and honestly I'm not a huge amber ale person) as well as their Watch Hill Hazy IPA, which had a nice typical hazy IPA fruity flavor. Definitely recommend coming for a nice lunch or dinner, their outside space is amazing even in winter!“

“Downtown venue with inside and outside seating. Welcomed immediately by friendly staff! Food offerings change monthly. Large tables inside, some high top tables and new low tables with cushion benches. Many draft options and a cocktail menu. Love the vibe and the outside area is open year round! Always a favorite while in Traverse City!“

“What a cute bar. We sat at one of the train tables with vintage stirrers and cocktail recipes. I got the garden gnome and it was made to perfection. So good! My husband got the pepaponi. He said it was the best sandwich he’s had in yearsVegetarian options: Garden gnome. Was fantastic. So tasty“

“The staff is friendly and inviting the minute you walk in. The brewpub is decorated nicely with low lighting with lot to look at.We sat at the bar and received service immediately. I ordered the banh mi chicken sandwich with fries ($15) with a side of ranch ($1.50) and my husband ordered the blackened mahi tacos that came with chips and salsa ($14).Both items were SO GOOD! The chicken sandwich comes on a ciabatta roll that was soft and warm. The cabbage, radishes and cilantro on it were all fresh and crispy. The tacos came with two tacos and did only have one piece or fish on each taco but the taste was on point. Even the chips and salsa were tasty. I sometimes find chips and salsa at a restaurant can feel like an afterthought and these did not!We also each ordered a beer and they were both amazing! Our bill total with two meals and a beer each was $45.Expect to pay for parking while eating here. We only had to pay a dollar at a parking meter for an hour.“

“We love 7Monks and as “locals” we are regulars, visiting almost weekly year round and bringing a group of friends with us for drinks and food after music rehearsals. Love the broad beverage selection and elevated food options. Terrific staff. Keep up the good work!! (One request - please consider switching from the very strong/unpleasant disinfectant you use. Appreciate the commitment to cleanliness but it’s definitely an off-putting/strong smell and has been brought up by several people we know.) see you soon! ???“

“We went there for my parents anniversary and the waiter was very nice and buy my parents slice of peanut butter pie for their anniversary. I recommend there seafood linguini Alfredo sauce is was homemade and I say that’s the best Alfredo sauce from anywhere in Michigan from a restaurantParking: Good parkingKid-friendliness: There very own plastic glass“

“We got there right as they were closing the kitchen, around 8:30. Chris was great. She let us know and got our orders in, no problem! The burgers were delicious. The Boom Boom Wrap was amazing as well. Can't go wrong with the Reuben either! Great people, atmosphere and food. What else could you ask for? Thank you!“

“Nice neighborhood hang out. Great place to get pickup on a lazy night, wonderful selection of local music, amazing food to accompany the mind blowing entertainment. Love the tacos! Top-notch service, they really rock it! Will be back again!“

“The atmosphere was mello. The furniture was super comfy and Iin really nice shape for a 5 year old restaurant. It looked new. The food I ate was the traditional giro with lamb and beef and fries. Everything was so tasty. The flatbread tasted freshly baked. Quality ingredients make the difference here. I strongly recommend this place as a Tucson foodie.“

“The sweet bar tender was the most enjoying feature, personality, kindness and respectful . I got so drunk I can't remember her name, but I'll always know that blonde sweet soul, my buddy Alex and I enjoyed it. I believe her name was Kim? But a sweet lady.... Thank You For My First LONG ISLAND ICETEA. 5☆“

“The view is what makes this place. Small bar with a few tables and about 6 or 8 bar stools, a bit older feel, but fantastic view over Traverse City.It's not what it once was prepandemic. Hopefully, they can bring back that same vibe and elevation.They do offer small plates in the summer season. No gluten-free options but includes tapas like margarita pizza, white fish dip (they were out of today), firecracker shrimp, wings, fried potato nachos, a potato pizza (I hear that's pretty good), and a few more items.Evan, the bartender, was friendly and remembered our drink orders from the previous visit.It's definitely worth the visit for the view while having a few cocktails ? and hoping they do a bit more with ambiance and vibe/energy of place to enhance the experience.“

“We showed up around 1030pm on a Thurs night in Jan 2024. The bar was dead despite there being a DJ there.The bartender was very sweet and helpful. We stayed about 2 hours dancing and paying the DJ to play better music. There was about a dozen people there and they were chill. Loved that they had nonalcoholic beers, and good ones too!We'd come back!“

“We visited Sleder's for dinner on a Friday night. We atarted with a bowl of clam chowder. For our entrees my wife got the smelt dinner and I got the cod dinner. Our kids got burgers. The food was solid. The chowder was flavorful and it was easy to tell that it was made in house. The fish was tasty and fried well. The fries were a little under crisp and under seasoned for our liking, but I've definitely had worse. To be honest I didn't eat many of my fries as I was trying to make the most of the Friday "all you can eat" fish fry, and focused on my fish.It was a really cool place that was clearly a favorite of locals, and the solid food and friendly service coupled with the fun and quirky decor makes it easy to see how this place has been around for 140 years.“

“Great food very fast service. We went in for drinks and ended up ordering an appetizer trio. Kind of weird they said they couldn’t make nachos even though they have all of the parts and pieces to make nachos? -1 star for that. Servers were very friendly and always had our drinks topped off food came out quick the buffalo chicken queso was great and the guac is very fresh“

“The food heat was great, the pulled pork, melted in your mouth. The brisket was super tender. The ribs…mine were awesome, tender, juicy. My bf unfortunately had one that was half tender and half over cooked. I’m sure was a fluke. The whole hog quesadillas were fantastic as well.The staff were friendly. And the place was very busy. We got there at a good time with no wait, but it looked like there is usually a longer wait time.“

“We loved our meals! The kids actually cleaned their plates completely (chicken tenders and cheeseburger). My husband and I got the Salmon, and it was fantastic. The atmosphere inside was like being outdoors, very cute. We had a very nice server, who kept us well cared for despite being there over spring break week. Thank you!“

“This is a great bar! The people there are chill and very friendly. They have some great cocktails and mocktails. I really liked the blueberry mule, so good! Often stop here for drinks when I’m downtown. The setting is awesome as well with a great open air view of TC.“

“Tony was absolutely amazing. Friendly and attentive, not ever annoying, super effing cool. A great asset to the establishment— I’d lit come back just to see him. Took care of his bar patrons while also ensuring staff had their orders in a very reasonable amount of time.Seriously cool guy. Thank you! (I told you I was gonna leave a review! :)Vegetarian options: Could be more but I was happy with the offerings“
