    Please note that the above 5-star rating does not indicate this is a place for a first date... it is probably not... unless you've just left jail, or the like.

    This neighborhood pub is part of a trio of local bars (one in Mason, one in Eaton Rapids) that is owned by the Darbor family.  Crystal bar is always decorated in the season's lights ... or Forth-of-July flags, etc... The bar is cash-only - there is an ATM.  Keno from Michigan Lottery is available.

    What you'll find: drinks... full bar + several tap beers (Miller Lite, PBR, a Bell's variety).  Food is limited to a help-yourself popcorn machine (highly recommended) and several snacks on the wall.

    The bar doesn't mind if you bring your own food or order from a local pizza joint, etc.

    The crowd is generally of the local variety ... working class ... you can usually chat with anyone and the bar is friendly if you stop in for a beer alone.

    Saturday evening karaoke starts about 9pm.  Other nights feature a jukebox.

    Negatives include a pretty serious second-hand smoke situation.

    Enjoy!

    Stopped bye this little place, on Thanksgiving because the light said "Open" walked in to a food spread along one wall, several happy patrons were nestled in and having a good time! The waitress was very welcoming. Nice neighborhood bar...my Dad use to frequent this place a long time ago...this was my first time...I'll be back when I'm in town.
