The Douglass House Saloon is a Houghton classic! Great atmosphere, cold drinks, and the popcorn makes it even better. This bar has been here since the 1800’s. The real highlight though is the bartender, Tristen—super friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place (and Tristen behind the bar) will make your night! Enjoyed having a drink for my 50th Birthday after dropping off our daughter at Michigan Tech university.

Best place in town for a good atmosphere, a solid pint, and some great food! My favorite is their gyro and the loaded fries are incredible

Full disclosure: this was my college bar and will always hold a special place in my heart. That said, I had a great time here tonight with family; playing keno and putting back PBR, pickled eggs and popcorn. Beautiful wood bar & lighting, this historic building kinda makes you feel like you stepped back in time. The “dog” makes everyone feel welcome.

Great place to have a drink. Owner is a great guy. He came over & had a shot with my son for his 21st birthday. Will definitely be back!

One of the few remnants of Houghton that has remained unchanged! I used to walk across the street when I lived above the Lode Theater in the late 80s. Now, in 2024 it's still there and still the same. Go there for a pickled egg and a beer!

This is the place that set my standards for long islands. In other words, their “strong island” is the best, 10/10. So far, I have not found a better one.
