Entertainment & Activities

The beach! Even though Lake Michigan is just a lake, it's huge! We actually do have sand and waves! But the water is cold and fresh. And walk a little north of the "people beach" to find the "dog beach." Most owners will let you play with their dogs.

Live music 7 nights a week! And usually no cover charge! Great outdoor patio with horseshoes and bags (cornhole). I've been going here for 15 years, used to be an old man bar, and now it has more of a hipster vibe, which is fine. I like beards.
