While it isn't exactly time to saddle up the coolers, chips, and suntan lotion to hit one of the many lakes in our great state of Michigan, there is a place in St Clair Shores where the boat is always running and the beer flowing. There isn't a pool table or a DJ spinning the latest jams. There isn't a guy who spent way too many hours in front of the mirror at the gym charging you money at the door BEFORE you even get a beer. There isn't even room for a dance floor. No, its a small place with an original sign outside slightly slanted with age and a few parking spaces welcoming friends inside for a cold drink and food.

If you haven't yet guessed it, it's called The Boat Works. Located on Harper just north of 12 mile, the bar is frequented by many locals around the area. Its one of those bars that when you walk in you say, "Its good to be home". Where you go to drink and enjoy conversation with good family and friends.

In this time of uncertainty, unstable jobs, no jobs, and choosing which bill is most important to pay first, it is nice to have a place to go to unwind with a welcoming atmosphere. (And might I add VERY reasonable drinks) I recommend stopping by The Boat Works in you're on that side of town and if not, finding your own "Boat Works". There's something unique about the local bar you can't find in a club or in the big cities. It's the friendly waitstaff who work there because they enjoy seeing regular faces, who know what it feels like to be your neighbor, and who welcome you in no matter what your age or shoe size. It's local and inviting.

If the boat works, you might as well go for a ride and enjoy the good times.
