I definitely would not go there. Owners are very shady.

Dive? Yes, but that's why I was there! Nice atmosphere with some older guys all visiting, the "regulars"! No real good but you can order out and get delivery from some local places that are decent, ask your server for info.

I am here for the dumbest of reasons. Some people in our group wanted to play pull tabs, and they have them here. We actually walked out of the previous place just now because their pull tab machine was down. I'm not kidding. Aside from the inevitable gambling losses, Bilrus Bar is very friendly to your wallet. A bottle of the Final Absolution - a smooth but powerful (10% alcohol!) Michigan brew - only set me back $5. A Red Stripe is only $1.50. The food menu is limited. Very limited. Like, ginormous soft pretzels, hot dogs, burgers, and...frozen pizza. They are up front about what the pizza is before you order. There's no grill for the burgers on the menu, but I will have to return to figure out how they make it. So, you have that, beer, and chips. Trust me when I say that this is enough. We ordered hot dogs and the ridiculous large soft pretzel. The dogs are all beef with the skin on, so there's a snap with every bite. Excellent, like your best day at the ballpark. Toppings can be mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, and Tostitos cheese dip. Wednesdays, they also have chili available. The pretzel was freshly baked in an oven, and it took a little while to make, but it was worth the wait. It was the diameter of a small pizza, and 3" thick. It's served with soft cheese dip, but we loaded up on the mustard. This is the best soft pretzel I've ever had, and it was plenty for a table to share. Country music played the whole time, and Engine Masters was on the TV. The folks here are friendly, and everyone seemed to know everyone. Prices are reasonable. The only downside is the limited menu, and if you're d*** enough to play pull tabs.

What a fabulous bar! I loved my visit here. The owners and bartenders made the visit a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!!!
The owner is rude and condescending. Doing concrete replacement at one of the two business entrances. He comes out mid removal and says “you’re going to pour this today right “, no sir, it takes 1-2 days before we can place cement and 7 days before you can drive on it, this is a large scale scattered city sidewalk program job. “ I have a business to run” , oh well you have a second entrance too.

Quaint and comfy local bar. The new owners have done a great job both restoring it and keeping it original and nostalgic. We will return!
