Description
This well-established restaurant and tavern has been a landmark in the area for generations. Ideally located on scenic US-23 between Alpena and Rogers City, and nestled between two of Northern Michigan's premier lakes, it enjoys year-round traffic. The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on US-23 in front of the property is 5,845 vehicles, while Grand Lake Road serves as the main route connecting the waterfront community of Presque Isle to Alpena, the region's economic hub.

Additionally, the basement provides over 1,000 sq. ft. of storage space and houses the mechanical systems. The property also includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, perfect for an owner or manager. The paved parking lot accommodates over 35 vehicles, with dual access from both US-23 and Grand Lake Road.
