We were in from out of town and we stopped in for a few cocktails. At first, it was just us there. The bartender was super friendly. As customers funneled in the later it got. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly, we felt right at home. We make trips to Saginaw 3-4 times a year. And now, we'll stop there 3-4 times a year.
Price per person: $20–30

Service was horrible. When I asked for a receipt I was aggressively approached and demanded pay. I paid and was still refused a receipt.
Be careful. Trish was the bartender and multiple ppl stayed there had been issues with payments.
Price per person: $100+
Wait time: 1+ hour

Been coming here awhile. First time there were fraudulent charges on my card and I was refused an answer for it. Will be contacting the bank. Upper management needs to look into false charges on credit card and cash. Will not be back.
Price per person: $100+
Noise level: Very loud, hard to hear

A nice place tucked out of the way. You'd never find it if you weren't looking for it. Everyone I met there was really nice and it seems more like a local pub where everyone knows everyone. I was only there for 2 hours and then I knew everyone as well!
