The Little Fleet

The Little Fleet has been a beloved staple of downtown Traverse City since 2013, serving as the city's unofficial clubhouse for locals and visitors seeking exceptional drinks, delicious food, and vibrant entertainment. Located on East Front Street, this dynamic bar and music hub offers an ever-changing lineup of hand-crafted cocktails made with local, seasonal ingredients, a robust selection of natural wine and craft beer from near and far, and a rotating menu that keeps regulars coming back for more. The on-site kitchen features Crocodile Palace, serving authentic Szechuan-inspired dishes year-round, while the warmer months bring an exciting roster of food trucks to the lot, offering everything from tacos to wood-fired pizza. Live music fills the venue year-round, with every Friday summer patio session becoming a beloved tradition. The spacious outdoor patio welcomes well-behaved pets and operates even during Michigan's harsh winters for the adventurous. Family-friendly and wheelchair accessible, The Little Fleet operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. Whether you're catching live music, sampling creative cocktails, or enjoying a meal with friends, The Little Fleet embodies the spirit of Traverse City's thriving food and nightlife scene.
