This duplex is located on beautiful Burt Lake in Indian River just minutes from Petoskey, Gaylord, Mackinaw City. One can only imagine how an appearance by Alvis on a hot, Michigan Wednesday night might accentuate the experience.Attention Boaters, Fisherman, Families! Burt Lake near Indian River, Michigan is known for its walleye, perch and other great fishing. Pac Man machine I’ve ever seen lives within its walls feels fitting. The experience is so unique and in many ways so bizarre that the fact that the only Jr. If there were ever a review to truncate in favor of a few dozen photos, a dive bar review for the Pinehurst Inn might be the one. A short wooden fence provides some level of structure to the outdoor space and might honestly represent just about the only “structure” to the Pinehurst experience at all.
A series of posts allow for boat docking along this seating area, doubling up on Pinehurst Inn’s potential dive bar clientele, by land or by lake. The outside area provides yet another extension to the space, a series of picnic tables haphazardly strewn about the river-adjacent backyard.
The bar itself features a handful of beer taps and the portal to the bar’s kitchen area, pizza boxes stacked high and deep, hinting at the specialty of the house. Elevated liquor lines a wooden cabinet that looks as it if it could be original to the building. The bar is magnificent, vintage “The Pinehurst” sign above red lighting in rippled glass, giving off the kind of light that feels more like a blanket than a spotlight. Pac Man machine make up the land of misfit dive bar toys in the back of the space. Broken chairs, a defunct piano and, for some reason, a functioning Jr. Said booths line the space before it transitions into a darkened corner in the distance that houses what looks to be the remains of a secondary bar.
The lights, the flooring, the paint, the carpet, the decorations, entering the bar feels like somehow walking into the folds of a velvet couch.Ĭheckerboard flooring gives way to red diamond pattern carpet gives way to a dance floor gives way to plush red booths and that’s not even counting the actual bar area itself. The space is very, very “red” for lack of a better term. The stimuli kicks in immediately, a CD-era jukebox just inside with what looks like some kind of mirrored duct tape proclaiming that the machine is still in use (five plays for a dollar). Walking into the Pinehurst Inn feels like walking through some kind of portal in time, the short, muraled hallway giving way to a sprawling, almost cavernous interior space that by nature of the lighting looks like it might just go on forever. One can only imagine the musical selection entailed, though overheard at the bar was the direct quote, “It’s kind of Elvis and also kind of not.” The bar’s main entrance sits next to a second doorway that looks like its door has long since been removed, a portal to a staircase that apparently leads to a room that can be rented out above the bar (see Yelp for some choice words about the cleanliness of said room).
Paint on the windows proclaims “Alvis Live” comes to the Pinehurst on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday each week, a confusing sentence that turns out to mean that Alvis, the owner, plays three shows a week on what suffices for the bar’s stage inside.
