4 Best Bars near Mendon

“Cowboy Up has become my weekend ritual—and for good reason. The food is always amazing, the people are welcoming, and the whole vibe is just right whether you’re rolling in solo or with a group. The line dancing lessons are a total blast. Big shoutout to Sarah, Penny, and Gloria for being incredible instructors who make it fun for everyone, whether you’ve got two left feet or you’re ready for the dance floor spotlight.

Drinks? They’ve got a great variety—just don’t come in expecting a world-class margarita (yet). That’s my one wish for the future: bring on the flavored margaritas and step up that game a bit! Until then, there’s plenty of other great options to sip on.

Even though it’s a bar, drinking isn’t the main event here. The atmosphere, the dancing, and the crowd of regulars (who start to feel like family) are more than enough to keep you entertained. And huge props to Taylor—the best waiter around—for always being on point.

Cowboy Up keeps me coming back weekend after weekend, and I’m always looking forward to the next visit.“

“Great prime rib, service excellent, we always get our favorite table, but we like to go early before it gets too busy.“

“Worth the drive from Kalamazoo. I love sitting on the deck, with its stately tree in the middle and gorgeous lakeside views. Last night a friend and I tried The Bacon Jammy (a new burger) and loved it! Yummy mix of flavors, gooey in the best way, with crispy edges on our (medium rare) burger. Wow! Another menu favorite is the Smokestack Sammy. Our server, Shelby, deserves rave reviews too. Thanks for the love, Vickers’ Lakeside Tavern!“

“had great service and food. 10 out of 10 that smother bowl! Definitely should add the same to the kids menu because my 4 year old smashed the whole adult portion! Definitely kid friendly and patient.“
