Lounges near Traverse City, MI

“awesome playlist, friendly staff, food pretty good“

“Fantastic cigar bar with a good selection in a roomy humidor, great selection of beverages, and a decent selection of small cold appetizers. The atmosphere is comfortable, with a lounge area with plenty of tvs, and a smaller area without TVs which is good for conversation. The staff is friendly and attentive. We will be back!“

“I treated my friends to dinner tonight and the service was just as fabulous as the food. Our server was Kateri (Kat) she took great care of us and also recommended some of the food items on the menu. Everything was delish. We are definitely going back. Thanks Kat for your great hospitality 😁“

“What a great find! Excellent brews and food. I was craving a good salad after having too much roadtrip food. The chicken salad did not disappoint. On top of that the staff was so welcoming and friendly. I’d definitely make this a regular if I came here regularly.“

“The Beacon Lounge definitely has the best views of downtown Traverse City. The lounge itself is a bit small, but it’s quite pleasant and is nice for conversation. The drink list is pretty extensive, and I enjoyed the two cocktails I ordered. I was a bit distracted by an occasional light flicker which I hope they get rid of quickly, but the place has a nice relaxed atmosphere and a great view. It can get quite busy in the evening, so getting a table might take a little time too. It’s definitely a great spot to end a night out.“

“We've eaten at Aerie previously. They are participating in the 2026 Traverse City Restaurant Week and had a nice sounding prix fixe menu. First, the service was impeccable. Other than the heating being too hot for those seated next to the windows and small portions for my entree and the small portions for everyone's desserts, it was a good meal. Flavorful. Fresh. I would give the food a higher rating, but my entree portion size and everyone's dessert portion size detracted from giving more than 3 stars.
Also, last year diners were given a 2 for 1 coupon for their Sunday buffet. That was an awesome gesture. No coupon this year is disappointing.😑“
