Sneaker's Bar & Grill, 211 E Main St, Lowell ~ 10/14/21

Enter from the front or make use of the huge parking lot in back of the restaurant and use the rear entrance.
Either way, walk into the bowling alley shaped building and take one of the many step-up-into wooden booths.
Other than the bar, the only other seating available is at the few tables up front.
We were surprised how busy, and noisy, it was early on a Thursday night and found out from our server, Jessica, that it was "Girl's Night Out" in Lowell. Just wow!
This is a sampling of what we endured from the table across from us 😑 
In spite of the chaos and busyness, our server, Jessica, was awesome and never lost her cool, despite how many women came walking through to get a card marked off.
Specials were on the board, and behind that was a beer list that couldn't be seen very well from our perspective, especially when someone opened the door behind the bar.
When we got that sorted out we ordered a Widowmaker (stout), Bell's Official (hazy IPA), Pinot Grigio, and a Vodka on the rocks.
One of the specials was a Tater Tot Casserole and we ordered that an an appetizer. House made, it was delicious, with onion, corn, green beans, and ground beef.
This is the menu, with a few manual adjustments made by the management 😊
Two of us chose entrees from the specials, the Cabbage Rolls and the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. The Rolls were good but the sauce was more Italian than Polish.
The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich wasn't really hot, just a little spicy, like the Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich.
The Catch was fine as was the Low Series (black bean burger).
We don't know where the bowling burger names come from but with the building shape, they fit. The restaurant is family-owned and has been in business since 1987. It has a wonderful, friendly atmosphere and all of the dark wood adds to the warm ambience. The three TVs were playing but with no sound so on a normal night, the sound volume would be just fine.
Sneakers hanging from the ceiling 😊 
Here are two old photos of the space, one from 1926 and the other from the 1960s.
We'd like to know the source of the name "Sneaker's" but we do know there is not a Mr. or Mrs. Sneakers so the only picayune criticism we have is that the apostrophe in the sign should not be there. We won't hold it against them 😉

Mill Creek Tavern, 3874 West River Dr NE, Comstock Park MI ~ 7/9/24

Image
  Back in 1890, this building opened as the North Star Saloon and Hotel which closed sometime in the early 1900s. It became Mill Creek Tavern in 1999, and no one we talked to was definite about the time in between. But to be fair, our servers were all fairly new. The current owner, Scott Ingersoll, bought the business in December of 2021. From comments in some facebook history groups (thanks, Jamie Wasilchenko & Nan Schichtel), the following information came to light. Joseph Thiel was an immigrant from Germany who owned the hotel at the time of his death in 1913. And courtesy of Travis Brown:  When the Soldier's Home (Veterans Facility) was built along the Grand River near North park, there was a federal law that prohibited alcohol sales within one mile of the Soldiers Home. Comstock Park was just beyond that one mile threshold and as a result numerous bars sprung up there. Betty's BBQ was somewhere near Mill Creek Tavern, and  Louie's may have been at this location o...

Conklin Bar, 19683 Main St, Conklin MI ~ 9/17/24

Image
This bar is well-known, not only in Conklin but state-wide, due to its very short but well-attended St. Patrick's Day parade. That is also the only day that Irish food is served. Back in the 1970s, this was Stub's Pub, owned by Bernie "Stub" Fritz, and a few reminders of that time are still here. From 1987-2015 it was Fenian's Irish Pub and owned by Terry and Mary Ann Reagan. In 2015, Mark Schneider, who was Stub's nephew, bought the place and called it the Conklin Bar.  Kathy Vandoeselaar purchased the place in March of 2024 and we not only met her, but also her sister, Mary, and her husband, Phil. It's definitely a family affair here 😊 Although the menu may not be Irish, they do have Guinness on tap so cheers for that! We had one Guinness, a Sam Adams Octoberfest, Arnold Palmer and a Chocolate Covered Cherry (Guinness with Sam Adams Cherry Wheat). We shared the Macho Nachos, which were superb: house-seasoned beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, blac...

Nick Fink's, 3965 W. River Dr, Comstock Park MI ~ 11/14/24

Image
Established in 1888, Nick Fink's has always claimed to be the oldest bar in the Grand Rapids area. Its competitor for the title was The Cottage Bar, whose claim as the oldest continuously operating bar in Grand Rapids can now be put to rest. They opened in 1927 and closed in October 2024. It's currently for sale. So back to Nick's. It closed in 2021 due to the pandemic and re-opened September 2024. The first Nick Fink was a Prussian immigrant and opened the bar inside a hotel. These are old photos from the bar's website and they are awesome. Three generations of Finks owned the bar but in 2008 they sold it to the Gilmore Group. Gilmore put on some additions but kept the vintage wallpaper and patent leather booths. They have an old safe near the entrance and say they've been unable to open it. Here are a few more interior photos. Self-serve free popcorn is available. We paired our popcorn with a White Pine Pilsner, Brew Detroit Campin' and a Shorts Local Light. ...
