Thompsonville's Hometown Bar & Grill
Half-pound hand-pattied burgers, slow-cooked brisket, cold drinks, the game on every screen and live music on the weekends. Pull up a stool — you're among friends.
Solid Comfort Food.
Cold Drinks. Good People.
The 231 Bar & Grill is a laid-back, family-friendly bar and grill in Thompsonville, Michigan, on M-115 (Cadillac Highway) at Vondra Road — right in the heart of the 231, between Thompsonville and Copemish and just up the road from Crystal Mountain. Our kitchen turns out hand-pattied burgers named for the roads that bring you here, slow-cooked brisket, dinners, sandwiches, salads and Mexican favorites.
The bar pours cold beer, cocktails and wine, the TVs carry the big game, and the weekends bring live bands and karaoke. There's plenty of room for groups, a pool table, shuffleboard, a comfortable lounge, and ample parking out front.
