2 years agoI really love it at North Bar! The drinks are delicious, the chicken and waffles might be one of the best foods I’ve ever had, and the atmosphere on the rooftop is very nice! I love how the seating is set up and I’m excited to come back to hear some live music this summer! Definitely try them out!
Greg Foltz
2 years agoBeautiful rooftop type atmosphere, great beer/food with a very friendly and attentive staff! I had the Asian Tuna Salad. It was delicious! All and all what else could you ask for? 10/10 in my book! Coming back tonight for Live Music and to celebrate a birthday!

2 years agoI couldn't leave a review for the food because they were not serving it at the time we went. Over a very cool atmosphere and great drink selection. The live music was great too. Not too loud and a really good variety of songs. We really had a great time having a couple of drinks here. Definitely on our list to hit again.

3 years agoPhenomenal rooftop bar ambience and sunlight. Outstanding environment for happy hour, food, and socializing. The staff was friendly and helpful, food delicious, and the live music to top it of. Allie was playing and has an amazing voice that you could hear from the street and what attracted me in the first place!!!
Fred Edmond
3 years agoFirst time at North Bar. Fantastic setting. Very chill. Great bar, awesome menu and food quality was off the charts! Corn and Andouille Chowder & Coconut Shrimp. Roasted Beet Salad & Tomato Bisque. Bourbon Pecan Pie and Drunken Peach Cobbler to top it off! Evan and Taylor were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back! Check it out!!!

3 years agoI’ve been here in both the afternoon and evening! I’ve tried most of the dishes on the menu plus their extended menu on the specials board and all have been fantastic. One of my favorites is the Animal fries that is a play on a traditional poutine. If you go in the afternoon, you can expect chill vibes and usually a game or two on the screens. Not too loud so you can hear your friends and hold conversation all the while getting some natural sunlight if the sun is present. They have 3 different rooms that all have unique ambiance’s in their own respective needs! Sometimes you can even catch live music during the day! The service is exceptional! Not too attentive to keep the relaxed vacay vibes, but also meaningful attentiveness. The nightlife is a blast. Usually a fun, but classy crowd with elevated up-lighting, live entertainment, and energetic bar staff. Usually a mingling, but also bring your friends and meet up kind of scene! Would 100% recommend as an all around dining, social, and fun experience!

3 years agoVery cool place for a drink and some food. The drink prices are reasonable, especially some of the bourbons. We just had appetizers, but they were good. Especially the brussel sprouts! Can't wait for the warmer weather so the windows will be open
Jennifer Dillon
3 years agoI don’t normally go down town. Went with a group of friends to listen to our niece sing. Excellent food, drinks & service. I got the beet salad and it was delicious. Ohhh and the deviled eggs, they were so good!!! We ordered 3 orders and ate them all (hence no pics)! Had a great time!

year agoAs a Traverse City local and a regular at North Bar, I can't recommend this spot enough! The rotating seasonal cocktails are always a highlight, keeping things fresh and exciting with every visit. The staff here is simply amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and always making you feel welcome. Whether I'm popping in for a casual drink or meeting up with friends, the atmosphere is always spot-on, offering just the right vibe for any occasion. North Bar has become my go-to, and I’m always looking forward to the next visit. If you're in TC, you absolutely need to check it out!

4 months agoWe had a great experience with the North Bar for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party! They were very accommodating and made the event exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious and the waitstaff was very attentive. It was sometimes difficult to get in contact with management, but we overall had great interactions. The location and ambiance was perfect and while it is a little expensive, you do get what you pay for! We would recommend North Bar for events!
