“ This classic Onekama is back. Come for the ambiance and the great beer selection. Glad to it re-opened with committed new owners. Limited apps and simple menu items include; burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, broasted chicken and cod dinners. ”
“ Smaller venue, quaint atmosphere. Lots of old vintage nostalgia in the eating area. There is also an outdoor patio for the warmer summer like days. Very limited menu. Had a special hamburger that had Jalapeños and olives, and lots of cheese. The burger was excellent. Is this a place I will say let's drive 25 minutes to go to dinner? Not likely, but if you are in the area and are looking for lunch or dinner, not a bad place to go. ”
“ Awesome food and service while playing dj trivia and the Tippy Dammits took 1st place ”
“ After driving by the Blue Slipper heading up M-22, we decided to make an effort to stop in when back in the Manistee area. If you are looking for a unique bar with a lot of history (gunfights, brothels, zoos?) where we heard an outstanding live folk / country version of Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time", then this is the place for you. Friendly staff and full bar with 6 on tap drafts and bottles and typical bar food fare (although $8 hot dogs?), it's a unique experience and I would recommend stopping in. There's also an outdoor patio that is dog friendly. ”
“ Great little piece of history Been here since the 1870's Great new owners fun friendly night spot ”
“ What a fun place! Its vintage decor is delightful. Cozy atmosphere to spend some down time or meet up with family and friends. Their burgers and hot dogs are delicious and their appetizers are tasty. They have a broad choice of mixed drinks, beers ( some local), vodka seltzers, delicious mules in many flavors and also cater to bourbon lovers with mid to high end bourbons. The service is friendly and efficient. And to top it off they occasionally have great entertainment which they advertise in their Facebook page. This is a must stop place when you are on the beautiful M22 Highway. ”
