Iron Bay Tap Room

I enjoyed my chowder and salad, but my husband’s $21 fish tacos were bland and very small. The major issue we had with this establishment was the transparency fund fee that was added to our bill. We saw no mention anywhere that an additional 4% transparency fund fee would be added to our bill, which in hindsight, I should have demanded it be removed. In addition, they include the transparency fund fee and the tax (not uncommon, but not ethical) in their calculations for tipping. Needless to say, we will not frequent this place again. PS… shame on those who don’t question an added fee on their final bill. Their use of the term ‘transparency fund’ is an oxymoron, because you don’t see it coming. Edited to respond to the owner: Well, maybe I stand corrected, but we never saw any posting of your ‘transparency fund’ and how many people do you know search for notices of hidden fees when going out for a relaxing, late lunch? Shame on you for squeezing every penny you can get out of your customers. We almost deducted it from our servers tip, but that would not have been fair to him. By the way, Sean is an asset to your business.

Solid food and great service. We started with the hot, soft pretzels with a cream cheese dip, well done. I had the white fish tacos, which had home made slaw and fresh white fish, cooked well and tasty. My daughter had the white fish and chips, which she really enjoyed. My wife did not like the pulled pork sandwich. There was smoked Gouda which was made the sandwich rubbery and overpowered the pork. The service was exceptional.

SO good!!! So much flavor in everything we had. The lemon oregano dressing is haunting. Blueberry mojito is also so good. We also had excellent service! Shout out to our waiter Sam for being friendly and personable! Would recommend to anyone!

Great food and great experience. The tap room is also a cute addition to the restaurant

The food was incredible and the beer was better but what made this place memorable was the bartender. I can’t for the life of me remember his name but I believe he said he had been an actor and possibly a comedian... he entertained extremely well. I enjoyed his tales of Alaska and just conversation in general.

Great place for dinner! My pulled pork was next-level stuff. Really greasy and full of complex flavor. The pretzel bun and slaw were fresh and delicious. I don't really like fish, but I kept stealing pieces of my fiance's fish-and-chips. Hot, fresh, and delicious. Both of us got the black pepper fries. They were so hot and fresh you had to be careful of them. Service was good... Our waiter seemed to be working his a$$ off to keep up, while other staff seemed to just be hanging around and talking. He still managed to keep up his end of the deal! This was a pretty random choice. It was near where we parked our van, and looked pretty cool. There are tons of places in Marquette to eat, but I would come back here any time.

Place is cozy and historical. Pictures of old marquette and stuff. Food is amazing too. I got the loaded fries with chicken, like $12, and omg.... So much. Corner of picture is a dessert friend got. She liked it too (some chocolate coconut pie.) I would definitely try this place. Joshua, our waiter, was really awesome too.

Man, I have found a new happy place. Happy hour twice a day for flights. $5 for 24 options, and great fries as a side. First visit to this place but man I am impressed, and will be coming back. The Short's Goodnight Bodacious, is a very dark, double black IPA. It has a large hint of coffee, and is match with it's bitterness, but still very smoothe. The Lagunita's Super Cluster smells of a super cluster of fruit, I'm guessing this is where it got it's name. Taste also fruity, medium bitterness, followed by a smoothe herbal aftertaste. So far my favorite. Single hop double IPA. The Bell's Hopslam a classic double IPA filled with a classy floral taste, almost creamy. It flows easily with a hint of grapefruit, overall a great balancer in-between beers, and an even better beer as a 16 oz. The Petoskey Cranium Crush a Cream Ale ohh my Lord. This is the way to finish any flight. A smoothe creamy beer, with a great taste of raspberries, followed with a touch of vanilla in the after taste. Delicious and a must try, not quite sure if I could drink a 16 oz. I'll let you know next time. Hope this helps!
