Earl Dingman purchased the building
from Gerald and Gertude Kowkol. The
Kowkols had built the original building in
1948 and operated it as a party store.
Mabel and Earl came from the Flint area
and wanted to open a local tavern. So
the party store became Dingman’s Bar.

the Bear lake area was painted on the
ceiling and if you wanted to find out
where someone lived, all you had to do
was come in and find the house on the
ceiling!

from the Veldmans. Eileen also experiMabel was a very astute businesswoman enced growth and placed a second addiand even won the “Businesswoman of

well as an outdoor bar. In 2008, after 15

and they sold the bar to Bob and Karren
Laurence - your hosts.
Since then we have been busy renovating
the bar. Almost everything you can see
and many things you can’t is either new
or updated, with much care to keep the
distinctive up north feel. Our kitchen,
menu and draft system has expanded as
well, and we always have a large selection of ice cold bottled beers and many
Michigan Brews. We are proud to continue to fundraise for The Wertz Warriors
