Freighters Eatery & Taproom

Freighters is a culinary destination situated on the St. Clair River, overlooking the Blue Water Bridge. Freighters' Dine-In and Banquet Menus feature locally sourced menu options, specially created by our Executive Chef. Our energetic team will make you feel right at home in our inviting atmosphere that features a fireplace lounge and outdoor seating.


What's on the Table?

Freighters' menu is elevated Michigan tavern fare. It's scratch-made comfort food with a proud local accent, served up on the St. Clair River. The "Commit to the Mitt" philosophy runs throughout, from craft-beer-battered walleye and Traverse City cherries to local brews and Michigan spirits. Shareable starters, hearty handhelds, and confident entrées like hot honey salmon and a hand-cut New York strip give every table something to love — warm, unpretentious, and unmistakably Michigan.

Why Freighters Eatery & Taproom?

A true riverfront gathering place on the St. Clair River, connected to the DoubleTree by Hilton and the Blue Water Convention Center — serving hotel guests, event crowds, and locals alike. Its "Commit to the Mitt" philosophy pairs scratch-made menus and Michigan-sourced ingredients with a local beverage program that builds loyalty and pride — all defined by what Freighters calls "Uncommon Hospitality."

Built to Enjoy

Freighters pairs modern, minimal design with a warm sense of place on the St. Clair River. River-motif wallpaper nods to its waterfront setting, while clean-lined contemporary furniture keeps the space bright and uncluttered. Terracotta chairs add a welcoming pop of color and earthy warmth, and floor-to-ceiling river views — with the bridge stretching across the water beyond — make the setting the centerpiece. The result is fresh, inviting, and unmistakably tied to the river it calls home.
