About Us
The South Lyon Hotel, as it has been known for decades, was built in the Village in 1867.
The property was formerly a cemetery and after the city council approved removal of the remains, at at cost of $2.50 each, construction began and the building was completed in late August.
The original name of the Hotel was the Commercial House owned and operated by Baker Hopkins. Four large fireplaces and gas lights heated and lit the inside (the first electric light did not reach South Lyon until 1923). When the train whistle blew, the town would turn out to watch as the Commercial House's buckboard and team would race down the street against competitors, each trying to book travelers and salesmen into their respective hotels. The Whipple House and the Harris House were also names which the building has been known as in its 137 years.

This is a wine bar first, but only in name. The food is excellent, with unique options that you will not find on the menu of your local pub. Try the Arugula salad to start, and then move into a Pear, Gonzola & Walnut pizza. The Panini is also excellent and the starters include warm baked brie, croquertas and stuffed pimeientos del piquillo ensalda.
The Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Valuted celings give Grape Expectiatons (GE) a sense of space, but the warm colors and simple dcor makes you feel at home. The staff is great, with plenty of experience.
Of course, you cannot forget the wine. The proprieter works with a number of local distributors to give you a large variery of unique AND reasonablly priced wines. My wife and I always find something great to drink for the night.

Gus O'Connor's Public House
www.metroalive.com/gusoconnors
Map Us
Authentic food, perfect pints, and legendary craic Welcome to the largest authentic Irish Pub in North America. At Gus O'Connor's we are telling the story of Ireland’s rich history. We celebrate pub culture - a culture of hospitable surroundings, good food, good drinks and friendly conversation - what we call "Craic".
Gus O'Connor's was designed and built in Waterford, Ireland (home of Waterford Crystal) by O'Sullivan Interiors, one of only five Guinness approved authentic Irish pub builders in the world. The finished pub was shipped to the States and received by the same Irish craftsmen who built her and then reassembled her here in Novi, Michigan.
There is a great deal of history in this Irish pub. Some particular items to take special notice of are the floor boards located on the raised seating areas on the first and second floors. These boards were harvested from the Guinness warehouse located in Dublin and are hundreds of years old.
The liscannor stone used for flooring near the fireplace at the main entrance is from the fishing village of Liscannor on the western Atlantic seaboard of County Clare. The stone occurs principally in the quarries along the edge of the Cliffs of Moher and is a very hard, naturally riven quartz sandstone. The stone was formed in the Carboniferous Period over 320 million years ago and bears the fossil tracks of the marine animals that lived during this time.
The actual stone on the fireplace is from the hillside quarries in the townland of Lough, north of Liscannor. The timber for the fireplace mantels were harvested from a shipping channel in County Waterford, where the finest of timbers are used for this purpose.
The stone tiling used throughout the Pub is from County Cork (home of the world's oldest yacht club and Murphy's Irish Stout).

Poole's Tavern
www.metroalive.com/PoolesTavern
Map Us
This location has been a tavern since the early 1900’s when it was the old Thomas Tavern. There have been several ownership changes during the decades since. It has operated as Joe’s Bar, Getzie’s Pub, and finally, in 1997 it became Poole’s Tavern. Under the stewardship of the Poole family, the tavern was extensively renovated and the result is the updated, fun atmosphere present today.
Chef Matthew Jagusch has been running the kitchen for more than six years, and, using only the finest ingredients, has created a very unique and extensive menu. His barbequed baby back ribs and daily specials are always customer favorites. Matt has won many Taste of Northville awards and was featured in 2002 on Channel 4 TV preparing his own Irish Stew recipe. We serve only the highest quality, best-tasting beef anywhere in the world...the Certified Angus Beef ® brand. It was the first branded beef in this country, receiving rave reviews and repeat customers year after year wherever it is served.
The torch has been passed to current owners and longtime Northville residents John Lamerato, John Casey, and Rob Baidas. We extend our warmest invitation for you to join us often and enjoy our great food and friendly service. It is our pleasure to serve you beyond your highest expectations and to make each visit a truly delightful experience.
