    Esther Williams Pool Bar

Something different, something refreshing. With warm sunshine and cool breezes from the Straits of Mackinac, this lively hangout at Grand Hotel emanates our relaxed island lifestyle.

Guests radiate to our open-air pool bar for an adult lemonade, strawberry freeze, or inspired cuisine while enjoying the festivities at the iconic Esther Williams Swimming Pool.

The Pool Bar is open for beverages through October 12, 2025 — the perfect place to relax and sip poolside.  Canned alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for sale at the Pool cashier. While the full lunch menu is no longer available, guests can still enjoy a selection of menu items right at the pool. Cheers to making the most of the season!
