Best WLM Reviews

Nice inside area with regulation size shuffle board and tree growing through the roof.
We found the food to be somewhat skimpy and bland and not worth the higher price.
Very nice views outside of Clark lake. Small gift shop in lobby
Visited while traveling through the area and was a great find. The beach pizza is an excellent choice and has plenty to take home. We had a hot sandwich with the pizza and everything was excellent. The waitress was very attentive and made sure we had the best of experience. Highly recommend
I've been going to the Beach Bar for 44 years and have seen a lot of changes. One thing that hasn't ever changed is their consistent delivery of great food with friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere. Their Ocean Beach Ice Tea is the best I've ever had.
I’ve been coming to the Beach Bar for years. However, since I have discovered I am gluten sensitive, the Beach Bar is no longer a great choice. Unless I want to eat salad. I called and asked about alternatives, and that was what I was told: salad and maybe some of the soup. Really??? Nowadays what really good pizza place doesn’t have a gluten free option? Even a gluten free sub for sandwiches would be appreciated. I guess I will not be making the ride out to Clark Lake to meet family and eat pizza anytime soon.
So after a long day I decided not to cook So we ordered
1 chicken oriental salad
1 skinny dip they forgot the Au jus
1 hobo sandwich
2 tomatoe soups
2 clam chowder you get a bag of chip's and a pickle with the sandwich when my husband got home and said it was $90.00 for that I was blown away you know I get thing's have gone up but that much I called the manager to tell him about the Aujus he gave me a gift card which was super great but still I even sent a note with my husband saying double check the order and they assured my husband everything was good except for the main part of the skinny dip I'll get something eles with the gift card but after that for $90.00 I will go to the store and get a couple steaks and the rest and still probably won't be that much!
And you should offer some type of bread with your salads like the other review the portion size doesn't match up with the price!
The Beach Bar is one of Irish Hills' best examples of why Michigan's Irish Hills is a gem.
On the surface, it's a well maintained family style restaurant that specializes in pizza. Right below the surface, it's a true center if gravity for a friendly community.
Carefully look around, and you'll notice unique and fun art created by local artists. Look at the walls, and you'll see staff photos from years gone by. Check out the trophy shelves, and you'll see a celebration of multiple generations of friends, family, and neighbors.
The food is always reliable. On a cool fall ir winter day, I always recommend you start with their tomato bisque. I haven't had a better tomato soup in Michigan.this is real comfort food.
The place is w few miles away from the MIS, so if uour looking for a place to meet friends before or after on race day, this is a good place to duck into and avoid traffic.
Check out the website to learn if you'll be there when they have a live band or if you're truly lucky, you'll witness the world famous hermit crab races. Super fun for the family (and you may find your child taking home a hermit crab).
Just an A+ place in my book.
Service great. Decor is great. Food not so much. Apparently the pizza is popular, but it's horrible. The rest of the food is mediocre at best. Reuben is probably the best thing we tried.
I've always liked the Beach Bar, as you probably already know, they have the best tomato soup you can get. A big bowl of it is $5.00 and so worth it. I've had the Cranberry Walnut Turkey sandwich and it's very very good. Prices here are moderate, not cheap but not expensive.
I've had their pizza and was pretty unimpressed, it wasn't very good the one time I had it. And when my wife and I visited on a sunny June day in the afternoon, we went outside and sat down, and a server told us politely they don't take orders from the patio, but we could order to go and go outside to eat. We went inside, that was a weird situation but oh well.
Always clean, always busy, usually great food. Glad to have them in the area.
