Best steak house in Alto, Michigan (MI) 2024

This restaurant/bar is a must see just for it's history. The Alto Bar opened in 1900 so raise a beer to history! It is actually one of the oldest bars in Michigan! The Alto Bar had lost all of its grace and charm over the last several decades to degrade to an absolute dive bar before Covid. It smelled like an ashtray and had lost its historical charm. During Covid it was completely remodeled and updated to be an absolute pleasure to visit. They claim to have the greatest selection of whiskey in Michigan and it is a very impressive collection. We only had the fried fish which seemed to have come pre-prepared from a food service but apparently the hamburgers are to die for if you're a hamburger fan. The owner has doubled the square footage of the bar and it is staffed with wonderful employees. Give it a try! ~Greg
