6 Best Bars near Shelbyville

“Excellent food at a fair price for a smalltown local bar. Everything we've ordered over the years has always been quite good. The servers/bartenders are always friendly and have good senses of humor. And, they always have an interesting selection of IPA's.“

“Ok, this isn't gorurmet and it isn't a "classy" joint. It's a dive bar in the middle of a small community that has a "reputation"...but as far as dive bars go, it's a good one. The food is good and the drinks are cheap. The service is friendly and nobody seems to care what you look like...as long as you don't come in looking like a hipster or a yuppie I asked for a Michigan made beer and I got looked at like I was from Mars....but they have what you need. You're at a place that has tried to rename itself so it can distance itself from it's questionable past...but all the locals still call it The Orangeville Tavern. There's more than one Confederate flag in the immediate vicinity....we are squarely in the North, so you get what I mean. This isn't a fancy place...not in the slightest, but it's like a step back to a time where you didn't drink something because it was interesting...you drank it because you liked it....and you didn't eat the food because it was "farm to table" or "vegan/gluten free" ...you ate it because it was on the menu and you wanted to eat it. This is not a bar for people that are trying to change the world, this is a bar for people who remember how the world got where it is..this is a bar for people who built America and are still doing the job. This is a bar for "Real Americans"...with dirty cars, worn out work boots, and calloused hands. This bar is the neighborhood living room....and I am looking forward to coming back home in the near future.“

“I just had the lasagna and my wife had the blue gill. Lasagna was the best I’ve had. It was awesome. The blue gill was amazing. Tuesday means $3 margaritas. Last week i had the blue gill and shrimp sandwich. It was awesome also. I can’t decide what to try next.“

“Ever since the new owners (Kyle and Kenna) took over, things have improved from my perspective. THEY HAVE A CHEF! ((THEY. HAVE. A. CHEF!)) The food is just incredible and the staff is amazing. Don't be surprised if Kyle or Kenna stop by your table just to introduce themselves and ask how your food/service is. They truly care and are committed to providing the best dining experience in the Gun Lake area! And... There are more incredibly exciting changes coming the summer of 2024! Ask Kyle or Kenna, they'll tell ya.“

“We decided to stop for dinner. We each ordered a short draft while we looked the menu over. First time here for us. Our food was outstanding! My husband got a Buffalo chicken salad. Was loaded with chicken. I ordered a Mushroom Swiss Burger. It was amazing. Lots of mushrooms and cheese. The place was a little on the cool side. Our waitress was real nice and friendly.“

“Nice to come back to my roots after 40 years and find a business focused on the town and locals.We were pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu, and when we made our particular choice, it was excellent!We are former locals who will be back the next time we're in Michigan!“
