We asked what your favorite dive bars are in Michigan, and here are some of the favorites. And before it starts, I'm not naming EVERY dive bar in Michigan. If yours isn't on this list, don't take it personally. These are just some from listener submissions.
Oh, and dive "rock clubs" don't count. I think a good dive bar should also sell food.
Country pub in gregory
I've been there a few times on the Harley. @cinder1313 on Twitter said "Best fish and chips meal you can eat!"

Gay Bar
The Gay Bar in Gay, Mi. was a pick from my friend Uncle Buck. "Cheap drinks, pool table and the best entertainment…listening to the local yoopers tell tales."
The New Hudson Inn
Another place that received multiple comments. Lisa Antosic on FB said they have the best burgers. Linda Carrion said it's her "Close to home" place. Having been there several times, I do like this place. They also boast to be the oldest bar in Michigan. Cool place.

Ye Old Tap room
Dennis Metz on FB picked this one. "This place has been around since 1912 and looks it! Some seating but hanging at the bar and throwing your shells on the floor is where it’s at! Walls with beer labels posted on them and a floor that’s seen it’s day! Nostalgic in every way!"
the brant bar
In Brant, Michigan, @AshenHeart666 on Twitter talked up this place. "They are literally a hole in a wall country bar, but they have the best bar grub hands down. On Friday they have $5 half gallon tap pitcher beer for only one hour as a incentive for customers!"
