Schuberg's is known for good food, good times, and a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It’s a place for visitors to Big Rapids to meet up with family, friends and old college mates as well as being popular with the locals and college students. Although many things have changed, the Bar still looks and feels much as it did in the beginning with the original locally made furniture and pine-covered walls.
