If you are looking to get a drink in Tuscola, then Bookies is the place to go! If the creative drink menu, live music and good vibes are not enough for you, then come for the people! Kailan and Keegan own the bar and you can usually find them behind the bar with Carlie, Annie or another one of their bartenders. They are all fun, local people. Highly recommend!

If you’re anywhere near Tuscola, you need to make a stop at Bookie’s Tavern. This place has everything you could want in a hometown bar. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly and quick, and the crowd is always fun. What really makes Bookie’s stand out are the bands. They bring in incredible live music that gives the place so much energy. No matter what kind of music you’re into, the bands they book are always amazing and make every night feel special. Between the unbeatable drink prices and the live entertainment, it’s the perfect spot to hang out!

Great place! My friend and I have come to Bookie’s many times from cocktails on a Sunday to watch the game and drink a cocktail or a few, to just swinging by for a coffee. Great coffee, great cocktails, and the staff is the best!

Keagan and Kailan have done a tremendous job and have created one of the best “get-aways” in the area. If you’re within 50 miles, you should make this a stop. I currently live in Wisconsin, so I know a good bar, and this is a bar you need to visit. They use the freshest drink ingredients and have a great menu to choose from! Not to mention, they have great live music and the service is spot on.

Bookies Tavern is one of those rare gems that captures the heart of a true hometown bar while offering a touch of sophistication you don’t always expect in a small town. Located in the heart of Tuscola, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel welcome the second you walk through the door.

The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between sporty and classy. Big screens keep the game on for sports fans, but the decor and vibe are polished enough that you’d feel just as comfortable bringing in friends, coworkers, or even a date. It’s laid-back without being rough around the edges—a bar that knows how to mix small-town charm with an elevated experience.

The staff is friendly, attentive, and always make sure you feel like more than just a customer. Whether you’re there for an after-work drink, catching up with buddies, or spending the evening out, the service never misses a beat. Drinks are well poured, prices are fair, and the selection is exactly what you want from a hometown spot that knows its crowd.

In short, Bookies Tavern isn’t just a bar—it’s a gathering place. It’s where the community comes together, where you’ll see familiar faces, and where even newcomers feel like regulars by the end of the night. Tuscola is lucky to have it, and anyone passing through should absolutely stop in to see what makes this place special.
