Shiels Tavern
Michigan's oldest continuously licensed bar under the same name. Building dates to 1878, continuous liquor license since 1933.
Shiels Tavern holds the distinction of being Michigan's oldest continuously licensed bar under the same name. The building dates to 1878, and the tavern has held a continuous liquor license since 1933 — the year Michigan began its modern licensing system after Prohibition. The original bar and back bar are still in use. The St. Patrick's Day parade route concludes at Shiels with a bagpiper performing at the finish. Currently owned by Barbara A. Blanchard (since 2010), the tavern serves burgers, fish and chips, and other pub fare alongside shuffleboard and pool.
