STIX Ludington MI is what happens when you add a massive windmill restaurant and outdoor biergarten and concert venue to an iconic bowling alley — and throw in good food, yard games, and more than a handful of boats for good measure.

Yesterday, we went to Ludington to meet a friend for lunch. I love connecting with locals and asking them where their favorite places are, and this time, STIX Ludington MI was my friend’s suggestion.

I’d seen advertisements for concerts at STIX Ludington, MI so I knew it was a popular venue, but I didn’t have much of an idea of what they were beyond that. When we got there, I was blown away by one of the coolest event spaces I have seen. (Don’t worry; it’s not JUST for events.)

An original and beloved bowling alley has been restored, and a massive windmill-inspired restaurant, bar, and event space have been added on. There are several wooden boats exhibited throughout the spacious restaurant and the outdoor Biergarten, yard, and concert space.

The service was very good, and my food was excellent. The fish and fries were done to perfection. It was some of the better fish and chips I have had locally — which is really saying something because Michiganders know how to do fish. But fish isn’t the only option. The menu is varied and provides enough choices that everyone will be able to find something they like. All of us enjoyed what we ordered and would eat here again.

It’s clear that Stix wants to be the go-to place for when you have a large group of people and want everyone to have a good time. With so many activities, multiple bars, and food options to suit every person’s tastes, Stix is great for corporate events and large groups of people. But with enough space to spread out, even a small group can find somewhere cozy to enjoy the vibe.

The aesthetic was on point, there was a ton to do, and the location was prime. Just down the road from the entrance to Ludington State Park, STIX Ludington, MI makes a perfect spot for lunch and/or dinner on beach day. Do some bowling, play some yard games, or catch one of their concerts for some extra fun.
