26 Best Bars in Bay City

“My husband and I were in town yesterday and decided to give you a try since we are fans of Richard Eats & Bre. I couldn’t get over how large the portions were, I had the French dip with rustic fries and my husband had the teriyaki rice bowl. We enjoyed our meals and wish I would’ve been able to take my leftovers home but I wouldn’t have had a way to keep it cold since I had more running around to do. Our server was very nice and attentive as well, we will be back at some point.“

“Tried this place in a whim for the Halloween karaoke, and I will definitely be back. We were treated so wonderfully, I could tell they definitely wanted us to be returning customers. Eric was the sweetest and most attentive bartender I've ever had, and Gabby was a wonderful DJ and very charismatic!! The drinks were delicious and the pudding shot was delightful. We didn't eat but would definitely enjoy trying some time!“

“I’ve been to Tavern 101 several times. Service is always friendly & welcoming. Favorites are ranch buttered popcorn flatbread pizza, & the fried green beans. Just a little disappointed that they now charge for the refills on the popcorn, especially when service is slow. Tried the hibachi bowl, very unusual flavor, not sure I’ll order that again. Overall, great place to eat & drink!“

“The service matched the food!! We will be back again. Thank you Liz for the wonderful time!!!! Steak Sandwich was very good!! Music was a great!! Decor is awesome!!“

“This bar became my home away from home in March of 2021. I've seen its ups. I've seen its downs. This bar has so much potential to be the night club that Bay City needs. The issue is in today's world it seems that the only people that want to be a bartender are the people that want to do nothing and get paid for it. So they see a lot of bartenders come and go once they get told they actually have to work for their money. I know the manager is struggling. But she loves that bar and she needs your support. Bring your business to this bar and watch this bar return to its former glory! Oh, I forgot to mention the Line Dancing that they have every Wednesday!“

“Make a trip downtown Bay City and be sure to stop at Jakes Corner Lounge for a drink or two! Fun atmosphere and the best bartenders around. we always feel like family at Jakes. Check their Facebook for the happenings too. Karaoke, line dancing, bands, trivia! Always something fun. you know what they say..... Sometimes you gotta go......😁😁“

“Had fish the last two Fridays. Delicious food. Tried walleye and pollock. Staff very attentive and friendly. Glad there are more fish fry Fridays left in lent.“
