Mandi

Hi, I'm Mandi and I just turned 21 this month! I was born and raised in Bay City, Michigan so I know that this town is all about the bar scene. Now that I'm 21 my goal is to go to all the bars in Bay City and find the best ones. I realize that going to all these bars is going to take a while but I think it will be fun.

I want to know which bars have the best food, drinks, bartenders, music, dancing, or whatever they have. This is my first blog and I'm mainly doing this so I can keep track of which bars are good but I feel like other people should know about the bars too.

Bishop's Inn

Bishop's Inn is located at 804 S. Farragut Street in Bay City. There is loud music and the lights are dimmed. There are two pool tables lots of seating available. The arrangement of the bar is nice with 2 rooms.

The food is good but a little more expensive than other bars.

Some of the bartenders are cool and some arent as cool. A bartender went from friendly to bitch in just a few minutes. Another bartender is so much fun, even after shes had a few.

I wasnt very impressed with this bar but will be going to give it a second chance.

On a scale 5 being excellent, 1 being terrible
Cleanliness (bathrooms, table): 4
Bartenders (friendly, fast): 3
Entertainment (dance floor, pool tables, darts, ect): 2

The second time there was much better. There was a different bartender and there werent many people in the bar so it was like a private party. This bar is all about the night of the week and who's the bartender. Some nights they arent even open until midnight! You never know when they are going to be open and hope for a good bartender!

Bay City Bill's Bar and Grill

Bay City Bill's Bar and Grill is located on 1215 Michigan Avenue by 32nd Street. This was the second bar I went in to after I turned 21 and it is so far my favorite. It is good whether you visit in the daytime when it is a good place for the whole family to go eat or watch a game on their TV's or at night when the bar life is in full swing. The atmosphere is great and they also have beer pong tournaments.

The staff is so friendly. During the day the lady came and quickly got us our drinks and took our order and our food was out in a timely manner. She was smiling and joking with us and the family next to us.  The place was filling up with families and people at the bar and she took good, fast care of everyone.

The location is small but it was never hard to move around.
The night bartender is pure awesomeness (and cute too!). This guy is fun and makes awesome drinks. The fun part was that if you didn’t know what you wanted to drink, all you have to do is tell him a color and he will make you a drink that color! All I had to do was say blue and I had a blue mixed drink in front of me moments later. The good part is the colors never taste the same so Its like a new drink every time!

Very Clean and the bathrooms had toilet paper!

Best Burger I’ve had in… I can’t even remember how long. It was huge! I came out held together by a toothpick and from the first bite i knew it would was pure bliss. The portions are pretty big and the food is delicious.


This place is great and I will be going their again soon!
