Rapid River Pub

Rapid River Pub is a beloved establishment nestled in the heart of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, at 10491 S Main St in Rapid River. This historic venue dates back to the late 1800s, originally serving travelers arriving in horse and carriages as a hotel, entertainment center, and restaurant. The building has been carefully preserved, and patrons can still sit at the original bar that has been part of the establishment for over 80 years, adding an authentic touch of nostalgia to every visit. The pub offers a casual, welcoming atmosphere perfect for families, locals, and tourists exploring the beautiful Upper Peninsula. Their menu features classic comfort foods including delicious pizzas, juicy burgers, and the famous Fish Fry Fridays that locals eagerly anticipate each week. All items are made with locally sourced products and ingredients, providing a true Upper Peninsula taste that complements their welcoming atmosphere. The full bar serves an excellent selection of cocktails, beers, and wines. Owner Tom Szocinski, a Rapid River native and environmental scientist, along with manager Beth Medwayosh and head cook Gabe, have created a family-friendly destination where the community gathers to enjoy great food, drinks, and memorable times. Open daily from 11:30 AM to 2:00 AM, Rapid River Pub welcomes everyone to experience a piece of Upper Peninsula history and hospitality.
