Mulligan's Pub

Mulligans is what I would call "just ok". It's a cool bar that has an old school vibe that I like but the food is so so and so has the service been the few times I've been there. It doesn't have the range of Irish bar food other Irish pubs have. ( scotch eggs, Sheppards pie, corned beef and cabbage, Irish pub chips, Guinness based stews, etc. ). Lots of sandwiches and oddly several Mexican type dishes like nachos and taco salads. I'm not saying it's bad. It isn't. But the menu does not reflect an Irish pub. Still, it's a fun place to try.

Lots of interesting memorabilia on the walls. The floors and ceiling look original, which we love. Our server was wonderful! The food was excellent. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

When I'm driving 75, I head over to Mulligan's for their fish and chips. Good batter, good fish!

Stop in to get a quick drink with friends and ended staying a lot longer! The waiter was kind, and knew the menu. The food was your typical pub food but was cooked well. Not the best place for big parties but for a small group it's perfect!

When we went, the waitress was awesome, but she was the only one serving the entire bar/restaurant. Entire place. So... that made things challenging. She was super sweet and doing her best.
The menu changed from online posts, so I'm attaching the one we got this week. There's only grilled cheese as THE vegetarian option, other than apps. We ordered all apps.
Pluses: the appetizers were bigger than expected, especially the fries. Which were great. Also the cheese curds were surprisingly tasty. The onion rings & cheese sticks were good.
Not so great: the garlic bread. Don't do it. It's saved by the sauce entirely.
FYI: kitchen closes at 10pm and they're serious. The staff is Done by then, so get your orders in. They are Not Kidding.
The weird: I echo the "Cheers" vibe, by which I think folks mean you get stared at the entire time you're there by everyone in the bar. But whatever.

It's Essexville, nothing else is open except Jets, and you're hungry. Go for it. Be nice to the waitstaff, they showed up for this nonsense. Maybe bring cash so you don't have to wait if they can't make it back for the check.

Great Service & Food, nice selection of menus chooses with daily specials.

Even the restrooms are clean.

This place is okay, but nothing outstanding! We have tried most other places in Bay City and even though the reviews were not good we thought we would give it a try.

I knew to expect greasy bar food and that's pretty much what they have got.

Our waitress was very good. She was friendly and service was spot on. My only complaint would be that when she told me the sides that came with my chicken dinner, I thought one of the choices was baked potato and that's what I ordered. When she delivered the mail it look like a little cup of mashed potatoes with bacon sprinkled on top of it. She said it was a twice baked potato. She quickly realized my misunderstanding and offered me a substitution after she delivered the food.

I got the Santa Fe chicken dinner and since I wasn't sure about the barbecue sauce I asked for it on the side. The chicken was good and had melted cheese on it and then I just cut it up and dipped it in the barbecue sauce. That dinner came with a salad and I got thousand Island dressing which was pretty good.

My friend got a captain jacks fish sandwich with a side of potato salad. He seemed to enjoy his sandwich and he had such a large sandwich that he brought half home. He also enjoyed his potato salad and when he asked the waitress if it was fresh made in house she said "no it was made by Gordon's"!! Too bad - since she could've said they slaved over the kitchen for days since he enjoyed it so much but she kind of ruined the moment!!

Nice atmosphere, good service. No complaints. Food was ok. Burger was cooked to medium which was great, side salad was good as expected, they said they made their own ranch dressing but it wasn't awesome. Wings were ok, only buffalo sauce style, no rubs or other sauces. Not a huge deal but if you prefer dry rubs (me) then you prob won't like. I didn't have anything special to rec to foodies based on this meal but def decent if you're in a group, you can get something for everyone, and it will be fine.

Very good food, takeout, and customer service! I'm always apprehensive to order from bars/pubs for takeout but this one was really great!

I came to find myself at Mulligan's Pub on a frosty February Sunday afternoon. I was struck first by the overwhelming scent of smoked paprika. Turns out they smoke their own spices in house- nice touch!

We were seated by our server in the middle of the bar, which allowed me to soak in both the ambiance of the restaurant, and the sounds of the bustling kitchen. My mouth began to water at the sound of crackling bacon. The bartender nicely asked me to wipe up the mess I had made, and the drool came off the enameled table cleanly. It pays to keep a clean place, and Mulligan's knows their stuff!

Our server, Taylor took our order. She refused our first choices, so we happily dove back into the menu. I went with the "Ranch Face Plate". Sounded too good to pass up; albeit slightly less appetizing than my first choice. The plate arrived before my coworkers' mess- I didn't mind because boy was I hungry.

It was halfway through my meal that my coworker, Saffron, pointed out that I was in a signed photo of Loverboy hanging in the booth adjacent. I had to see for myself! I don't know if they put all their guests in photos of Loverboy, but I thought it was a great touch.

Taylor recommended the fresh baked Bunt Cake for dessert, and I said "Bring it on!" About five minutes later she returned with a plate of Tiramisu- delicious!

I hope to return for "Disco Wednesday". For now though, I give Mulligan's 5 stars and pronounce it Best Bar in Bay City!
