Jack Thanks for a great lunch - 8 of us were snowmobile and rolled in hungry and thirsty. You and your staff were amazing. Also thanks for letting us borrow your car to get home with our broken snowmobile. See you next year.

We were staying at the Big Bay Lighthouse B & B and were looking for dinner. Before heading to the UP we watched the movie"Anatomy of a Murder" because we had heard there were connections in Big Bay. The Lumberjack Tavern was where all the...action happened. When we sat at the bar the owner brought over a binder full of press clippings, pictures and information about the making of the 1959 Otto Preminger film staring Jimmy Stewart as well as pictures and information about the real murder. Our intension was a drink here and dinner at the other movie location Thunder Bay Inn. After chatting with the bartender and owner we opted to try the hand-pattied burgers and fresh cut fries ... that was the right choice, they were great! We did stop at Thunder Bay Inn for a drink after dinner and I'm sure it would have been okay but Lumberjack Tavern was a fun stop with great food and people.More

Stopped in for a beer on our way to the lighthouse and thoughrly enjoyed it! The bar where the actual murder took place in the famous novel and movie “Anatomy of a Murder” lots of pictures and memorabilia to look at and if you sit...at the bar as we did, ask to see the scrapbook of actual pictures of the body of the victim and the murder suspect. He makes a really good garlic breadsticks too! Fun place!More

Fascinating little bar in a town that time may have forgotten. It was the site of a murder borne of passion and the source of an academy award winning movie, “Anatomy of a Murder”. The bar has a good choice of beers, but the wine...hides in a box that has never seen a refrigerator. The bread sticks are excellent. The bar has a stylized outline of a body still on the time-worn floor, and a notebook full of original clippings, autopsy photos, and first-person interviews. It is well worth a drink and will provide memories for conversation for years to come.More

This place is a must see. It’s the actual location of the film “anatomy of a murder”. Lots of cool stuff to look at. Our barmaid, Jill was so friendly. The deliciousness of the house made, bread and all, cheese garlic bread was something I...couldn’t even imagine existed.More

Great homemade crust and breadsticks. Great pizza. Friendly people. The movie history is a fun bonus.

Seems like just a bar. Some interesting old things hanging from the ceiling. Lots of wood everywhere. Has a history associated with the movie "Anatomy of a Murder". Don't need to go back.

If you like vintage things to look at and read about, this is the place to stop. Nice people and an old time feel.

Had a great stay in Big Bay. One of our stops was the Lumberjack Tavern, scene of the bartenders murder back in the 50s story behind the movie "Anatomy of a Murder". Worth the visit, decent burgers, nice selection of craft beers, interesting place.

What a great stop and so full of history! This is where the actual murder took place (from the famous novel and later, film, "Anatomy of a Murder"). Their scrapbook has ACTUAL crime scene photos! This was the main draw of the pub for me...- there were quite a few people eating lunch and having a drink, but I did not have the time. Very friendly staff and patrons - will try on my next trip!More

What a fun place to stop in Big Bay! Friendly staff that tells the story of the murder mystery. We had some yummy appetizers and great conversation!

There is even a body form on the floor. While we were eating several people came in just to take a picture there. Great food and even better service. Just local bar in a small town.
