Black Sheep Pub

Thus was first visit to Black Sheep. My meal was very good. Hadxthe Shepards Pie which was very good and flavorful. Here they use beef in place of lamb. Also had the sampler appetizer was contained all types of deep fried goodness.

Cozy English style pub. Featuring flags of the empire (Including Canada😉🍁)Went for dinner and it was enjoyable!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing food. I havent been to Europe but it has a feel of English pubs from what Ive seen on movies & TV (Great reference right? lol), still worth a visit.

When I visit Alpena, I try to hit local places. I decided to visit The Black Sheep. I had a craving for potato skins but didnt want to hit a burger joint and this place has them. There doesnt appear to any parking except for on the street. There is a parking lot in the back but I dont think its for here. I saw signs saying unauthorized vehicles would be towed, so I parked on the street. Upon my arrival, I stood in the doorway for a few minutes before being told that I could sit anywhere. There was no sign saying to sit or wait.Once I did sit, it took a about 5 minutes for him (the same guy who told me to sit anywhere) to come to my table but it felt longer and I contemplated leaving. In his defense, he was the only one serving tables and it was busy. He showed up and took my drink order and quickly came back with my drink and then took my food order. I ordered an appetizer at 6:05, along with my entree. As of 6:32, I still had yet to receive either item. At that time, he came to the table and told me that, for some reason, my order didnt make it to the kitchen. Five minutes later, my potato skins came out. 15 minutes later, my entree came out. I ordered the Shepherds Pie. It was a bit smaller than I expected but it was pretty good. He never came back to check on me but, again, he was really swamped. I feel like I could have left without paying and they wouldnt have noticed. I was going to give this place 3 stars but given that he had ZERO help and he discounted my meal, I gave it 4 stars. I might try it again when Im back in town.Sorry about the potato skin photo.  I was so hungry, I forgot to take the pic.

Hands down the best french dip sandwich Ive EVER had, and I dont say that lightly. The bread was so soft with a crispy outside, and the prime rib (made in house) was also soo good. Surprisingly not busy for a Saturday night but its been cold out :-) potato skins and the fried fish also was great! But the french dip is definitely something Id drive 3hrs for again lol. Give it a try!

First time here. Draft beer was cold. Food was delicious. Tried the Portobello Arancini as an appetizer and they were fantastic. Wife ordered the Shepherds pie and I the Sir Richard burger which had grilled onions, blue cheese and dried cherries. It was all delicious.

Great pub! The food was really good with a great selection. There is a great selection of beer 🍺. The service was fine. They seem to get busy at times but do a good job of keeping things moving. Check out this great Pub!

A nice lunch in Alpena. I had been craving Buffalo wings. Bartender/server was a hoot!

Best eating experience weve had on quite a while. Service was fast, every bite was delicious. Had the appetizer sampler, fish and chips and shepherds pie. All cooked to perfection.

I lived in Alpena for my entire childhood and never stepped foot in this place. I regret it because the food was delicious and drinks were wonderful. Super friendly people behind the bar as well. I loved the English pub vibe.

Jesse took great care of us and was very friendly. Cheese sticks were amazing. Fish and chips were great. Well definitely be back again.

Tuesday night kareoke was great!! Powerful sounds system and great atmosphere!! Kareoke ran from 7 till 10...my cousin was visiting from Texas and we had a fun night...waitress served us at beginning of night but forgot about us and my cousin had to keep going to bar for drinks....The place was packed with lots of singers!!...I was able to sing 3 times in 3 hours...great kareoke host makes it fun by having a different theme for each round of singing....for example songs from the 80s or one hit wonders!! There was 4 of us and we had fun!!

Giving two stars because some of the food is good but the rest is frozen food, and not good frozen food. Looked at prices online and showed up to get a scotch egg, double the price what it used to be. For a single egg wrapped in sausage, $5. I could’ve made it all at home for cheaper but again, two stars because some things tasted okay. Maybe just only come here for drinks, or maybe the food is better when you’re drunk. Also an employee was smoking right outside the front door, waited for him to go inside but they had the front windows open so the whole place smelled like smoke. Won’t be coming back.

Always a great place for food and drinks and the service is very good. The Scottish Egg is a must to try and the Fish and chips are exactly what youre looking for not to mention the Rib eye steak Salad is awesome

Food was delicious, took a minute to get our food, but worth the wait. It was busy too. Had a live band that was good too. Nicest place that Ive been to in Alpena.

As a British expat, this had to be tried out. Great service and a large selection of ales, larger and bottle service. The food is also pretty good and somewhat reminiscent of home (though of course not quite the same) with a nice American culture twist thrown in.If youre coming to Alpena from the UK, its worth popping in for a pint to see what you think.

Were from the Detroit area and really loved this place. Such a cool vibe and great food!

Stopped for lunch yesterday. The sandwich and salad were fresh and the beer was cold and tasted great. Our server was friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable.

When in Alpena, check out this fun pub.Fashioned after an English pub, it has the pub fare to match. Large battered fish portions in the fish and chips as well as home made potato chips and a great selection of brews on tap as well as local brews. Great atmosphere and friendly people.

Food was good and prices were fair. They had lots of specialty beers available. If you’re in the area it’s worth a stop to have a drink.

Very cool bar good bar food and drinks. Its a little pricey but not too bad for the quality of food. Burgers are on point. The fish and chips are delicious. Good cold beer and amazing wait staff.

Surely bartenders. Pretty decent beer selection but they were out of the two I wanted. The rainbow mafia flag in front should have been the clue to stay away.

Prime rib au jus sandwich and fries were incredible! Servers were very busy but friendly, and once the food was ordered it came out quick and hot.

My home bar! Best bartender ever! Love the food! Easygoing, friendly, and fun atmosphere. Play all the music you want, no paying for credits! Enjoy some good beer (great tap selection with local picks) and a game of darts!

My guy wanted wings and said theirs were good, so we went. I ordered the menu item in the picture and got a basket of six chicken fingers that seemed to be the usual Sysco available anywhere type. I really hate when we go local and leave thinking any of the chain places in the area would have managed fries or at least said they were out of an item and to order something else.

Great apps! Ahi nachos and show me your tots we’re delish. Carolina bbq chicken sandwich was good. Truffle fries were slightly overdone but tasty. Friendly service and good local beer!

We stopped in here today for an early dinner. All the staff were really friendly and helpful, the fish and chips were excellent, and the overall atmosphere was great! Would recommend to anyone who visits downtown Alpena!

It was my first time and I loved!!!Good beer and friendly people.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised when we visited this place. Prime Rib was cooked and seasoned perfectly . This dish is what I would expect in a 5 star restaurant, I was shocked to see food served at such a high level in a pub. They know how to cook! A huge selection of craft beers, good prices, excellent food, quick service, clean restrooms and a small town friendly atmosphere. This place checks all the boxes.

Great bar with great food at a very good price. Friendly staff. Ten year business. Right downtown Alpena. Live music on Friday nights. Great old building with quaint outside seating... obviously a store years ago with a recessed entrance and side windows to show wares. Go there. On this warm Saturday night one can hear a musical at a nearby band shell when sitting at out of doors tables. The pic, our bikes out front, unlocked, no worries here, feels very safe.

Great beers on tap, excellent service, fish and chips cooked to perfection, and scotch eggs! What’s not to like? I’ll be back here every time I’m in town!

Excellent place to eat and great service and entertainment. If youre not stopping, you are missing out.

Friendly service and great food! The fish and chips and burgers were excellent!

Wings were great, fish and chips was some of the best in town

Great spot, great food, super friendly staff!

Great little local jem. Good pub-style menus. I enjoyed thoroughly the scotch eggs. The locals are funny and welcoming and are genuine people. A must stop whether you live there, staying for a few days, or just passing through. Youll feel like family and have a good drink!

The last thing I expected to find in Alpena was a pub. As a Brit, let me tell you this is authentic!! You had my heart with malt vinegar for my fries.Great vibes, great food & great beer selection. Nick the bartender is awesome.

Got carry out. No homemade dip for my mozzarella sticks. Im fairly certain the dip for the French dip was dishwasher. Inedible. Called them and was told it was a bummer. AVOID

Taste of England in Alpena, Mi. Fish and chips were excellent and the beer was cold. What more can you ask for?

In times of COVID, one must temper ones expectations. I stopped in for a weekday lunch, as I was on vacation and was in the Alpena area. Apparently, this 4th of July week, so was everyone else. I sat at the bar, and noted that Susan was the only regular staff on the floor and bar, and she was HUSTLING (in the classic sense of the word, meaning working her tail off, not the modern definition of trying to score side jobs). Most patrons were understanding and patient, though some seemed to forget that were living in a unique period of history right now.Just because Michigan recently opened up fully for business doesnt mean that businesses can instantly get back up to pre-2020 levels of infrastructure at the snap of impatient customer fingers.Nevertheless, Susan did everything she could for every table, as promptly and as courteously as possible. As the place filled up, they did have to warn a party of 4 that space was limited, and just completely turn away a party of 12. Again, temper your expectations.The same supply chain issues that affect all restaurants didnt spare Black Sheep, of course, so some things on the menu simply werent available. No matter, its a bar/pub/tavern in Northern Michigan. So burgers and fried foods are a-plenty.Once more: TEMPER. YOUR. EXPECTATIONS.Dont go in expecting three 3 Michelin Star duck confit and Chilean sea bass. Go in for a good burger and northern Michigan sensibilities with some British Isles decor and malt vinegar for your chips (fries), and youll be alright.EDIT 4 YEARS LATER: I still make Black Sheep one of my regular stops when Im in the area, which is a couple of times a year. Happy to say that the food & service are still top-notch.

The Black Sheep is a must stop when in Alpena. The ambiance truly is that of an English pub, and Kris and her staff are personable and professional. The beer selection is varied, with many on tap. My favorite menu item is the homemade Scotch egg which is a delicious taste of the UK right in downtown Alpena, but everything is tasty.

It was a very nice little place and food was good but I hear advertisements that they have the best bloody Mary in town and me and my mom have to disagree. We didnt even drink them but still paid for both.

I chose this restaurant because they had a ribeye steak dinner available on the menu and that’s what I had a taste for. I ordered the ribeye medium. Generally with the ribeye if you order medium, that’s enough to render the fat and you still have a nice really juicy steak. I have never had a ribeye that was bordering on tough. This one was. It was a little bit over cooked, but again I’ve never had a tough ribeye, anywhere else or from my own kitchen. I had a choice of potato, which was baked, french fries, or their homemade potato chips. The last time I was here in June, the potato chips were slightly burnt tasting. I was hungry for a baked potato Loaded up with sour cream and butter. I got the smallest baked potato I have ever been served in a restaurant with a steak. The potato was put into a piece of foil, obviously after it was cooked. It was a microwaved baked potato. The only way you get hard spots in a baked potato is by putting it in the microwave. I should’ve taken a picture of all this, but at the beginning of the meal, my goal is not to preview a dinner. After ordering, I sat for a while, and then caught my waitresses attention, and ask if I could possibly get my side salad out before the rest of my dinner. The kitchen was not busy with orders at the time as most of the patrons were just drinking at the bar. When she brought the salad out, she said oh they had just made it. I ordered an old-fashioned cocktail with Woodford reserve. The sliced orange garnish, looked old and there were a couple tiny pieces of ragged maraschino cherry in the bottom. When I was here last June, I had an awesome Reuben sandwich. I had hopes for a great dinner tonight, but they really did not deliver. I don’t think I will be returning.

What a great find!! Excellent corn beef (done in house) and cabbage soup, host/owner was welcoming and warm. Weve been to Ireland and this is as close as you can get.

Great food, good for big groups full bar quick service

Great pizza, wings, and drinks. Super close to the marina. Owner is amazing. Must stop after a long day on the lake to unwind.

Nice restaurant with good food. British theme.

Server name was nick he was awsome food excellent Scottish eggs were best Ive had since Vegas. The fish and chips are lighty flakes crispy and absolutely delicious. Many many different brews on tap to choose from and even more bottles to choose from. 10 out of 10 will return and we lived 2 hours away.

Menu options are great, the bartend was very nice even after I tried A beer I didnt like and had it replaced. A great casual atmosphere to have good food, good drinks, and hangout. Definitely will be back.

First time checkin- out the place. It came well-recommended. Good beer choices....had a fine porter. Ordered a variety of appetizers...all were groovie. Really liked the 4 dips!

Got a take out, hard to park my rv but glad I did. Got the fish and chips, fish was very good and chips were great! Also the Ruben sandwich was very good. Nice place

This place is so worth the ride across the state. The Shepard pie was amazing, The black knight burger was awesome and you must try the scotch eggs, really good. Our waitress/bartender Susan was so wonderful. Great lunch on a Saturday afternoon.

The owner and the bartender were super friendly!! We had a great conversation with them. We got there just before the kitchen was closing and they kept it open for us. The burgers and fries were so delicious!! Lots of varieties of beer!!

Food very good service great and I wish we could have stayed longer for the music. My 90 yr. old Dad and 89 yr old mom took myself and my husband out to celebrate my husbands birthday first time for a Scotch egg and it was really good all the food was good but what would make me come back is how they treated my parents with respect and kindness. Love it and we will be back. Thank you

English-styled traditional pub serving a good range of tap and craft beers and some tasty-looking fare. We were very well looked after by Jess and Kristin, who both spared time for friendly conversation. Really nice place, well worth a visit and it’s one of the few bars open Mondays.

I ordered the steak dinner with brussel sprouts and more. It was amazing and came out pretty quick. The cooks back there are A1 compared to other places and states I have visited. The only complaint I have is i did overhear a lady working in the front who was not very nice to other employees and a couple customers. Will definitely come back for the food. Keep it up!!

Service was a little slow but the fish and chips were very good.

Yummy, fresh salads and the Steak Barley soup was amazing! Love the atmosphere!

This cozy pub has great service and fantastic pizza. I was going to order the fish and chips which looked great, but I’m so glad I tried the pizza. I took the leftovers home 4 hours away the next day and my wife was still wowed. It’s a rare day that I am blown away by a pizza. I can’t wait to go back. Next time I’m going to try the fish and chips. Thank you to bartender Susan.

Had to immediately walk out due to overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Shame because the interior looked nice and relaxed.Edit: Yes that person was an employee that immediately went back to smoking when we left.

A wonderful bar with delicious drinks. The White Russian and Moscow Mule were amazing!

Wonderful place with great food and atmosphere. Visited while enjoying a long weekend. Chris is fantastic 10/10 would recommend

I had the cottage pie and really enjoyed it. It wasnt oversalted and the flavor was subtle, but satisfying. The portion was filling, and Im a big eater. Service was pleasant and all needs were met.

Bartender was very friendly and my French Dip was delicious will definitely be back when in town.

This place was great! The food was delicious! What made the experience the best was our server Susan. She was incredible! And will go back (an hour and half drive away) not just for their food but because of the service we recieved. If you see this, it was great meeting you, you are an amazing server/person.

I liked my visit here. The bartenders were nice and accommodating. The other clientele were decent and not rowdy. Personally, I prefer a quiet place, but they had some people playing live music. They played well, just a little loud for such a small place. I don’t know if they serve meals because I came just before closing and they only had pizza and bar appetizers available. My only complaint would be that people smoke right at the entrance and I could smell the smoke while sitting at the bar.

Our bartender was Susan, and she was amazing. We stopped in for drinks and apps. They have a great selection of Michigan craft beers. We ordered the Scottish eggs and deep fried Mac and cheese bites. Both very good. Definitely returning!

My family and I were in Alpena for a wedding on NYE. We were so lucky to find this Pub. It was within a short walk from the Holiday Inn and the food, drinks, and hospitality were awesome. Sue was so inviting and treated us all like family. Many of the wedding party also joined us and we had a great time! We look forward to visiting the Black Sheep again.

Stopped in on our way to U.P. Fantastic food, scotch egg, Reubens and fish&chips was really good. Bartender was making homemade Peach Sangria, yum! Great company! Would Highly Recommend The Black Sheep. Worth the stop!!

The Chicken Curry was bland, skimpy portion and there was no whole chicken breast meat. Shepards Pie was pretty much a scoop of mashed potatoes, a little ground beef, floating in a beef gravy. Stick to ordering basic yummy fried bar food. Scottish egg was awesome.

This is the second time I have been here with my mom. The food is amazing! The Black sheep burger is my moms favorite. She says its not just a burger its more of A BURGER !!! I have had the Shepherds Pie and the Ribeye both are very very good! The Ribeye was cooked to perfection. Thank you to the wonderful and courtesy staff. They are all very polite and your drink is never empty!

They have the best food. Fish tacos are top notch. One of my all time favorites when going there. I love the beer selection too. Cozy little place with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Not your regular kind of bar. A must see if you havent tried it.

Stopped in for a bit to eat after an appointment in Alpena. Throughly enjoy the atmosphere and the food was delicious 😋 we are making the Black Sheep Pub one of our go to spots! Friendly staff, excellent food and beautiful establishment!!!

This is such a nice place. Nice staff and atmosphere. Its one those places with regulars that are decent guys. I went in twice and the second time they remembered what I had to drink the previous time.Its a downtown pub that diverges from purest British pub menu a bit.I liked the burger with red cabbage; though I believe its a pre-pressed patty. The Scotch eggs are a little dark but not overdone. I think its a lighter breading than Ive had in other place. The sauce they use is not mustard? but its exceptionally good. Its a nice change up, especially if you arent big into mustard. Kind of like a sweet aioli or a sauce from some Japanese restaurants in other parts of the country. The fish and chips could be better from what I was told, but I didnt eat that personally. The roast beef is completely done; I do not know if they cook to order. The onion rings are golden and delicious, and fried pickles are excellent. Fried pickles have just a little kick!The staff is very polite and kind. It wasnt overcrowded either time I went just the right comfort level. We look forward to visiting again.

We camp close to the Black Sheep at least once a year. They have an excellent selection of draft beers and really good food. 6 of us had lunch and everyone was very pleased with their meals. Susan, the bartender, was very attentive and efficient getting our beverages, serving our meals as well as clearing our plates. As usual, all had a satisfying experience.

Super lunch The Dreadnought, and The Reuben with a rather large Margarita and diet coke. The malt vinegar hit the spot on the luscious crispy special slightly battered fries and on the fish with A-1 steak sauce. Certainly a super pub to go to and looks like live entertainment at night. Nice big screen tvtoi!

My husband and I at your restaurant today.The food and service was good. I don’t think we will be back, I was unhappy that there were many flags, but no American 🇺🇸 flag. I know it’s a British pub, but you are in America and you are making American money. If I see an American Flag, we will be back.

The beer and food were good. It is a tight space environment with limited parking. The staff and local crowd were very friendly and accepting. We were a large crowd and the amount of space we took up seemed to be in the way of everyone and more than they were ready to handle. Not trying to be negative as the staff gave maximum effort. Seemed more a place for drinks than food.

Great food..Great waitress

Good French Dip sandwich. Great service.

Servers took forever just to get drink orders and rarely checked in. Received the wrong drink and had to ask for the tab 3 times. After, the second request we found out that the server had lost the tab. Then, when we finally received the tab it was added incorrectly and was doubled what it should have been.If we had better service I would rate this much better. Food that we had was actually good.

Good atmosphere and nice bev selection. Occassionally a bottle beer selected is a bit flat, perhaps expired, but overall a nice pub. The bartender is a bit of a bark no bite type but not a deal breaker. Definitely here to recommend their house Bloody Marys and Scotch Eggs. To me, these two offerings take their bar menu a bit above average.

Blue cheese and cherry combo on one of the burgers was amazing! very good rueben also!!however, staff and patrons smoking outside was a damper at the end of the meal.

This place is awesome. Friendly staff, very comfortable, fun & inviting atmosphere for the whole family. The food is great & brings a taste of home for me. They also have a good selection of local beers. I highly recommend a visit here.

Went in for dinner and had to go back for lunch!The fish and chips were fantastic, unbelievably light and flavorful.Great craft beer on tap, with NITRO draft as well.Wonderful service as well, Jodi was really nice and personable!

I stopped in for a quick pint and ended up staying almost two hours chatting with the owner, Kris. I did not get to try the food as I had just eaten, but the atmospher and staff were excellent. Im already planning a trip back, and I live 14 hours away!!!!

Yummy fish and chips. Excellent service despite lunch rush. Nice atmosphere and great music.

Great English pub in downtown Alpena. Big selection of craft brews and the food is delicious. But the staff is what makes this place. Kris, Susan, wonderful. We really enjoyed the Black Sheep pub.

My wife and I went in to check out the menu, to see if we and the kids would enjoy eating there. Bartender woman wasnt particularly friendly and made it seem like out teenagers werent welcome. She was a real bit@#. We decided NOT to eat there.

The bartender was nice enough to tap a Keg of Oberon for us on Oberon day when no one else around town would.. She was very nice and the food was good too.

Food was good. They were out of most Bourbons, most red wines. Service was ok.

Went here for are Anniversary. So glad we found this place. Owner was friendly and informative at the area. Decor was pleasing and what u expected of an English style pub. Food was just as good as the service.

I have been wanting to eat here for a while but this was my first time and I was very pleased. The Fish and Chips were great, the Scottish Egg was very good, and the server was very friendly. Prices are very reasonable also. Highly recommended!

Great little friendly pub. I loved the artwork, waitress was friendly, food was delicious and served quickly. They also have a wide variety of Michigan beers on tap.

We had a great experience at The Black Sheep with 4 adults and 3 children 8, 7, and 2. The children love Wings and Wings they had! We had good care and great food. Thank you, Black Sheep Pub...Chris, Audrey, and Susan.

We walked in with our 2 year Olds... We definitely got looks, I know its a pub and it was a Saturday at 1930,but the menu looked good (I came for the scotch eggs husband wanted the tri-tip and noodles ) plus it was walking distance from the holiday Inn Express and suites. This place was definitely busy, there was not sign indicating to wait or seat myself. We walked back looking for a table, where my husband found a waitress to asked about seating, and if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated she responded with a wild look saidif you want and promptly walked away.Some nice ladies at the front of the restaurant offered to slide down, so we accepted the offer and sat down. We had looked at the menu before leaving the hotel, and knew what we were going to order. 7 minutes after sitting down, another waitress came to our table, asked if we were just drinking or eating, we said both. This is when we were told that it would be at LEAST a hour before we saw food, because everyone in the restaurant had apparently just walked in at one time,she then told us about restraunt down the street that had kids menus. I appreciate the waitress telling us it would be over a hour for food, but didnt like the implacation my children needed chicken finger and fried. I also realized that us just having dinner would not add up to the money a table would produce with 4 adult drinkers, on a night with live music.This review 1 a one star review because all I had to rate was 2 wait staff.Enjoy, the food on the menu looked good.

This place is great!! Whenever we come to visit the family here up north, it is a must stop in to visit the Black Sheep!! Great food, service is awesome Ms. Chris and Mr. Paul have made a real jem!! See you next time we visit the In-laws!!

We were just visiting from out of town. We were looking for music and/or a place to dance. We landed at The Black Sheep. The bartender welcomed us as we sat up at the bar. We had great conversation about the owner and the bar itself. Come to find out we were taking with the owner Chris. She was so fantastic that we decided to stay a couple of hours. This place is pretty cool. We met some of the regulars a had such a fun time that we didnt want to go anywhere else. Kudos to Chris and the The Black Sheep! If were ever back in town we will definatey come back to visit!!

Food is amazing, great atmosphere, the owner is on site. Great selection of beer on tap. BEST Reuben sandwich ever! I order them at every new pub and bar I frequent and this was definitely the best Ive ever had.

The inside of the bar is nice looking but for being the only place in town who serves Guinness on tap, they suck. The food is too greesy and flavorless. The menu is boring. The Guinness is flat and they serve it to you with a ton of foam. They definitely need to make some changes.

Awesome! The bartender, Jess, was really helpful and so friendly. She helped my boyfriend find an IPA that he really liked.

We have only ever had drinks here. The customer service is friendly and welcoming and the place has a great vibe.

Loved the place.... really warm... excellent service and the locals were so welcoming. There was an excellent local band playing and they were amazing... the fish taco was D-licious

Worst/most painful order taking experience Ive ever had. We had a simple order, and she struggled and decided to write it down on multiple sheets of paper, which caused her to miss things and ask for a repeat about 7 or 8 times. She then showed us the sheets and asked if she had it right, but then still questioned it. She tried to combine like items together, which caused her to forget who ordered what.Slow service. We got served prior to a group that got there much before us. Not enough menus for large groups.The server spilled an entire partys tray of soda/other drinks on someone.The server mixed up who ordered which drink.A pitcher of warm water was left on the table with no ice.The server mixed up orders at checkout after a long wait for the bills. I was charged double for my order and it had to be voided, not sure yet if I got the money back.The server made unwanted contact with shoulders. She smelled of booze.

Food was phenomenal!!! A very friendly atmosphere. My kind of place to have a drink or two and enjoy dinner.

Nice place love the atmosphere great food great workers. The only thing that could be better is adding a propane heater outside

Good atmosphere. I brought a group of 50 there. The majority were pleased with the food and drinks. Thank you for the experience. I recomend this place 👍🙂

Easy going afternoon. Had wings and cheese potato soup. Soup was delish, thick and cheesy. Drank a few beers and played some darts. Bartender was friendly and the atmosphere was low key. Great for relaxing for a few hours on a fall afternoon.

I came to the Drag Queen show sat night and Sunday brunch. Mothers day weekend. Different friends each visit. Loved it and had an amazing time . Will be back.

The food is pretty good at least mine was. Also nice variety of draft beer and bottle beer. The bartender had to do it all when we were here. Chef waitress and bartend so it was pretty impressive she had time to do it all but understand a wait.

The Black Sheep is an awesome local pub. Kris is a great owner who cares about her customers! Good food, great drinks, old time feel.

The Reuben that I had there really was the best damn Reuben Ive ever had! And Susan was our server and the bar tender at the same time and was holding down that pub all by herself.Give that lady a raise! (Also congrats on your daughters upcoming wedding!)

Great selection of Michigan beer on tap and in bottle. Good service.o Typical pub food. TVs with sports going, if you like such - a bit intrusive to conversation and the dining/drinking experience.

The staff is extremely frirndly and helpful! The best selection of craft beer anywhere in Alpena and the fish and chips are to die for! Definitely check it out if you havent yet!

Ingredients seemed fresh. Good food. Would be nice if they had a designated spot for pick up orders

What a pub! Attentive, friendly service. Delicious, well prepared food. Had a great couples date night!

Great food and plenty of it. Very friendly staff. The pollack was great as were the fries. Will go again.

Black sheep is a relaxed atmosphere with friendly bartenders. They provide music entertainment and have been established for nearly 11 years!! Alpena loves and supports you! ❤

Excellent food, drinks and service. Im gluten free and it was nice to be able to enjoy some fried gluten free friendly foods.

Great selection of beers, the staff was friendly and helped us make good selections, the fish plate was excellent! Really cool atmosphere, you could imagine yourself in the UK here.

Great English Pub! Stopped in for a pint with my husband and had great service delicious foo... and of course drinks! Will definitely make it a regular stop when we are in town.

Great place, friendly and clean

I stopped in here while visiting Alpena from downstate. It was so cozy and the drinks were great. The music that was playing was a local band that sang about the state of Michigan which gave me the perfect up north vibe that I had been looking for! ❤️

I love Irish Pubs and this one checked the boxes for me. Great food a good atmosphere and Guiness on tap...I dont know what more you need in life.Enjoy!

Service was excellent, food very delicious, drinks were amazing! Great Place!!!

Great service, waitress was patient waiting for us to make our decisions and burgers even though not asked how we wanted them cooked, were great!! Was a bit reluctant when we walked in, but was very pleased in the end!!

Loved this place! It was a slow afternoon when we were there but we had a great time chatting with the folks at the bar and the owner. And the food...delicious!!!

We had a party of 12. Half of the party did not like their food. Said it was overcooked or no flavor. However, they did like the different beers they offer.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff

I cant say enough about black sheep pub Kristin Conger and her team IS so great and the crowd there is so friendly !!!! Theres NOT that fallen down DRUNK crowd its upper class crowd you want too be around and the food and drinks are the best fish, pizza burgers home made chips and dont forget to have Scottish eggs

Super good food. Quaint city Eatery friendly service.(Dina) Skilled Art displayed with classic rock, feels like home.Thank you.

Lovely place we stopped for a drink. Owner was friendly & the beer was cold

Every time we eat here, the service is great, and the food delicious! Definitely recommend

I came in a little late between 9 and 10 pm on a Friday only had a coke due to limited menu at night, ended up at Applebees.I wish I would have been earlier because I enjoyed my last visit at Black sheep.
