7 Best Bars near Mears

“My visit to the Silver Lake Chicken Shack was a casual and family-friendly experience that left me with mixed feelings. On the positive side, the chicken they serve here is undeniably great, and they offer wine and beer to accompany your meal. But to note, not that big of a selection.If you're traveling with kids, this place is kid-friendly, and they'll likely enjoy the tasty chicken and relaxed atmosphere. However, it's essential to set the right expectations. While the food is a highlight, don't expect a any dining experience. The ambiance is basic, with cheap seating and paper plates.In summary, if you're in the mood for delicious chicken and a cold beer in a relaxed, family-friendly environment, the Silver Lake Chicken Shack is worth a visit. Just remember to appreciate it for what it is: a no-nonsense spot that's all about the tasty poultry, and not about the fancy setup or a normal dining experience.I also noticed that the placed seemed to have the setup for live music, which could add to the overall experience. However, it's worth noting that there was no live music during my visit.Conidering that there were not much choices around, I would recommend that spot!“

“Fun, sweet hosts and great wings!They showed us where to go for great things like climbing the dunes safely instead of slogging up heart attack hill!!And apparently there's a creamery in New Era where you can get fresh creamy cheese curds and milk right out of the cows almost.“

“We came here for dinner two nights in a row while camping at silver lakes. We had some drinks, as well as burgers and the chicken tenders, which were all delicious! The owner and bartenders were all extremely nice and helpful. They went out of their way to get us souvenir stickers we had been looking all over town for since most shops were closed for end of season. We’re looking forward to stopping by again next summer!“

“My travels have brought me to the small town of New Era a couple weeks ago. It was the only place in town. When looking online at the menu, it looked short, but I was hungry so I gave it a try. They specialized in grilled cheese and tomato soup. Why not? It was a rainy day.This place did NOT disappoint. They brought me this huge stuffed grilled cheese sandwich with piles and piles of ham on it. It had cream cheese on it, which was questionable, but was surprisingly delicious! At $14 for a grilled ham and cheese and tomato soup, simply the best I've ever heard..and that's comparing against a grilled cheese served in Switzerland that was claimed as being a world renowned grilled cheese and one of the best in the world. This place beat them out, hands down.While I most likely won't be back to this little town, I will miss this gem in the middle of the Mid-northern Michigan wilderness. Stop and try it. It may be a couple miles off the highway, but it WILL be worth it!“

“Holy cow! amazing customer service and amazing prices. we just had a 21st birthday and we had such an amazing time. The staff is so friendly and kind and the food and drinks are amazing I highly recommend Murphys tavern!! Definitely better than most local bars“

“Very cool place to eat I like to eat local as a traveling AG equipment salesman, food was phenomenal! Atmosphere and service was the best definitely will be back next time I am in the area seeing my customers, if you have never been or traveling through it is most certainly worth the stop!Kid-friendliness: Definitely has a kid friendly atmosphere way around lunch time“

“We were happy to make our choice for lunch at Kristi's Pour House. Yummy hot beef sandwich and homemade potato soup. Service was fast, pleasant and welcoming. We will be back. Sharing review with family to make it their choice while on summer vacation. Parking was easy and close by for our RV.“
