Dive Bars near Houghton Lake

“I grew up in the house next door ( now a used car lot) in the 50’s and early 60’s. I took my wife up there to show her where I grew up and was happy to see the Spikehorn was still there. We stopped in had lunch it was very busy so we ate at the bar. Service was great bartender was friendly and efficient. Food was good . No complaints. I will be going back whenever we are back to Houghton Lake.“

“It's my kind of place. You probably are not going to give this a 5 star review however. Cash bar, cheap drinks with plenty of selection, a regulation shuffleboard table, not one but two pool tables, a jukebox with plenty of amps, and a great crowd of regulars. You've got to have an appreciation for what this place was in the 60's Houghton Lake. If that nostalgia doesn't appeal to you, there are lots of "nicer" local bars.“
