Michigan Junket: Pat's Bar & Grill

Pat's Bar & Grill

Pics We were a little hungry Wednesday evening, but not hungry enough to have a big meal. I persuaded Bob to stop at Pat's Bar & Grill, which looked like too much of a dive for his taste but, not surprisingly, seemed like my kind of bar.

The bar runs the length of the place and the kitchen is off to the side. One young girl was running the whole show: the bar, the kitchen, the pool tables, video gambling. Bob ordered a scotch & soda, and I a gin & tonic. The soda and tonic were both flat, and the drinks were served in small bar glasses that looked as though they should have a Coca Cola logo on them. Drink prices were taped to each bottle.

We ordered burgers and one order of fries, made from fresh potatoes. Delicious. Hot. Loaded with calories. I had a second g & t, which tasted better than the first. We left the server a good tip and complimented her ability to manage the bar with no apparent effort or stress.

A satisfying evening.
