Typically a biker bar, they have some of the friendliest bartenders. If you happen to be in Marquette, it’s at least worth checking out, and who knows you might end up staying for a pretty awesome night.

Pat’s Bar
Northern Michigan University
It’s simple. Cold beer and burgers. This stop is definitely one for the locals, but if you do go to Northern it’s a fun local bar to be at.

Mojo’s Dueling Piano Bar
Grand Valley State University
Ground floor serving dinner and entertainment, while the second floor has a dance floor and DJ. As the name suggests, the entertainment is a live dueling piano show, you’ll have to go to figure out just what that means. If you to come here for the dinner you might as well stay for the evening because there is really no reason to leave.

Tin Can
Grand Valley State University
Don’t bring any underage guests, as in under 21, because it is 21+ at all times. You get a t-shirt on your birthday, and any other night, a good time with a variety of drinks and, you guessed it, canned beer.

Grand Woods Lounge
Grand Valley State University
Listen. They have a year-round porch, with 20 TVs, and fireplaces. This is the place to be if you come to Grand Rapids. Martinis, beer and entertainment, that is a night everyone can get behind.
