I am from Kalamazoo. We went to Allegan for a helicopter ride. Figured we would find somewhere to eat. Never been to Sherwoods Cove. The staff and customers were very friendly and invited us to summer gatherings with live music outside. Felt like we belong. The owner even gave us each a drink koozie. Can’t wait to go back.

Bartender was super friendly and helpful because I couldn't decide what I wanted to drink. The tacos were great, I loved the crunchy shell ones. Nice little dive bar!

A phenomenal small town tavern. Extremely friendly people and staff. A great place to sit and relax. Nice pool table, several televisions to watch sports and are willing to change stations for you. The best part is that they are genuinely happy to see you. This place is well worth the time to check out.

Stopped in after dinner so we didn’t have any food here, but drinks were great and we had so much fun singing karaoke. Service was awesome, quick and everyone was so nice. Wish we could come back but we are from way out of town! Staff even gave us coozies to remember such a fun time! (:
