Since we came over to Hessel by boat from Lasalle Island, I guess I am an Islander. For 26 years now even. Having said that, this bar is a solid little joint appropriate to its name. We haven't ordered food there but they always look like good solid burgers and bar fare being served. The atmosphere is warm with old outboards, chochkies and boating decor on the walls. Plenty of cedar and light wood decor and furniture probably harvested from trees down the road. The beer signs and mirrors even are backed with pictures of The Edmund Fitzgerald and other classic huge Ore boats. And the drinks are served with a very local flare..you know , like that you are nothing special but yet they make you feel kind of special.. *sigh* I love the U.P. A great Les Cheneaux establishment

I've only been once, but I know that I'll be back. Walking in, it is a warm and cozy bar. Lots of bottles behind the bar, a decent menu and a pool table. The one thing that I could have lived without was the lots of flies. Unfortunately, someone working earlier decided to leave the front door open and lots of tiny visitors made their way in. The server/bartender apologized quickly though so likely just a freak occurrence. In regards to beer and spirits, it did seem like an effort is made to have some local favorites available like Bell's and at least one feature from New Holland's Artisan Spirits line. The menu consists of sandwiches and bar food. I chose the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was fine, but one thing I did learn about Hessel is that sweet potato fries are not the area's signature dish and it shows. For my first drink I ordered a draft beer, but for the second I went with a wild berry vodka infusion they concocted. The bartender told me they normally serve it with Red Bull, but she was more than happy to accommodate my request to order it on the rocks. It was good, but the infusion was a little too fresh - hopefully it will have a chance to age further and improve the overall flavor. Another negative was they had Fox News on the tvs which isn't my particular cup of tea...although it was on mute and became an almost surreal experience as Nirvana, Led Zepelin and Flobots played over the speakers. I decided to pretend it was just some elaborate display of irony. Not the best bar I've ever been to, but definitely a fun time!

The best bar in the area. IMO. Food was ok. The atmosphere was fun and the servers were too. Save yourself the hassle and go here if you need a drink and or food. The Cedarville bars can't compete.

The pretzel buns on the burgers help, but the meat itself could use a little more attention. Appetizers are good (I'm a sucker for fried green beans) and the beer good. Love the ambience, servers are friendly. They do live entertainment, but I'm not a late nighter. This could be an amazing bar if they improved the food. I hope they do...we'll be back because it's around the corner, but I'd rather eat a burger at home or Snow's.

Towns five times the size of Hessel would kill to have a bar like this. Hell, I live in San Diego now and wished any of our beach towns had this joint perched a block away from the docks. Too many great memories to count at this spot.

Disappointing! We stopped in for lunch and waited more than an hour for our appetizer, which was just guacamole and chips. The guac was bleh. We also added a side of salsa for $2. It was came in a tiny cup (see picture) and tasted like it came out of a jar. NOT worth the money. Very limited selection for a vegetarian (me) but others said the burgers were good, once they were finally delivered. Our server must have been having a bad day because you could tell from the start that our coming there and ordering food was terribly inconvenient for her. Just go for drinks and free popcorn. Then head to Snow's for dinner.

We stopped in on a weekday night in May and the bartender was also our cook! He was very friendly and the food tasted great. I will definitely be back for the fish tacos!! We had a couple local brewed beers on tap as well. Everything about the place was relaxed, comfortable, clean, with a local feel.
