Don’t recommend for out of towners. Bartender was not real friendly. I get the vibe this bar prefers the locals vs tourists

It is definitely not a five star place. However every time in Saugatuck, we end up here. Everyone is friendly, staff is great, drinks are good and music is banging. So five stars for good times and memories.

Great bar, you don't find old school bars anymore. Cash only.
