He was general manager for the last eight of those years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d do 30,000 steps in a three-piece suit on a Saturday night,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that wasn\u2019t what he really wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI always wanted to own a small-town, community-driven dive bar,\u201d Muzzi said. \u201cThat\u2019s been a goal of mine for 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And being a dive bar, Muzzi said, is nothing to be ashamed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I say \u2018dive bar,\u2019 I mean a come-as-you-are, everybody\u2019s welcome, no judgment, unpretentious watering hole,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His investment in Morenci began with an internet search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI googled \u2018Bars for sale in Michigan,\u2019 and this place checked all the boxes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He wanted a bar that was already established and had an existing clientele. Check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He wanted a bar that had positive cashflow. Check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd in a perfect world, it\u2019d have an apartment upstairs for me to live in,\u201d he said. Check again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally, there was family. \u201cI come from a very big, but also very close family,\u201d he explained, and his aunt\u2019s house in Pinckney is the nexus of family gatherings. So he didn\u2019t want to be more than an hour and a half away from there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/lenaweevoice.com\/staging\/7542\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/North-Street-Pub-Ribbon-Cutting-678x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A Jan. 4 ribbon cutting at the North Street Pub in Morenci was a family affair, with many of owner Tony Muzzi's relatives traveling to Morenci to attend.

Here, Muzzi&#8217;s grandmother, Bernie Ickes, prepares to cut the ribbon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That final checkbox was all he needed. After visiting Morenci a few times, Muzzi said, he \u201cjust really fell in love with the place.\u201d He signed the paperwork and became the pub\u2019s new owner on Oct. 22 of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He\u2019s spent the last few months getting to know the community and figuring out what people wanted from their local pub. Muzzi said he\u2019s lucky to have inherited a good operation from former owner Leslie Place, including the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEverybody has been incredibly welcoming,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing he\u2019s learned about Morenci, he added, is that \u201cpeople take a lot of pride in their community here, and everybody really looks out for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get people involved in the future of the bar, he ran a contest to decide on its new name. Along with North Street Pub, the options were \u201cThe Pub,\u201d \u201cState Line Pub,\u201d \u201cThe Bulldog Pub,\u201d and \u201cThe Low Places Pub.\u201d Customers got one vote for every drink they bought, and by the time the contest ended a few days before Christmas, more than 3,000 votes had been cast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menu includes burgers, sandwiches, wings, salads, and appetizers. Two of the most popular items are \u201cThe Pub\u2019s Famous Billy Bones\u201d \u2014 fried breadsticks dusted with garlic salt and served with nacho cheese \u2014 and \u201cMarsha\u2019s Famous Gizzards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though he doesn\u2019t want to change much, Muzzi has added some things to the pub\u2019s lineup, including rotating weekly food specials. Mondays are Manhattan Mondays, featuring specials on Manhattan sandwiches (an open-faced roast beef sandwich) and cocktails. Tuesdays will continue to be Taco Tuesdays. Wednesdays are all about meatballs, and Thursdays are for Reubens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North Street Pub has karaoke every other Friday and a DJ every other Saturday, starting at 9 p.m. On Wednesdays starting at 7 p.m., entertainment alternates between trivia and Name That Tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another new offering is Civil Servant Appreciation Day on Sundays. \u201cIt\u2019s for all the people who work hard and are underpaid to make sure we\u2019re provided for,\u201d Muzzi said. That includes police officers, firefighters, teachers, mail carriers, and municipal workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re vastly underappreciated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By taking over the pub now, Muzzi is four years ahead of the timeline he had set out for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy goal was to do this by the time I was 45, and I\u2019m 41,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this Detroit native couldn\u2019t be happier to have landed at this small pub on the southernmost edge of Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is very much the quintessential small-town watering hole, which is exactly what I was looking for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The North Street Pub\u2019s hours are Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., and Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. More information is available on Facebook at <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/NorthStreetPubMorenci\">facebook.com\/NorthStreetPubMorenci<\/a> or by calling 517-458-6469.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A brief history of the pub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s likely no one alive today remembers the Pub building as anything but a tavern, but there\u2019s more to its history than that. In 1914, a bakery was selling fresh bread to customers, with a drug store\/grocery and a pool hall to the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the early 1920s, a motion picture theatre had moved in, first known as the Temple and later the Princess. The theatre closed in 1929, but not before serving as Morenci\u2019s first \u201ctalkie\u201d movie house. Around the corner at the Gem (later the Rex), a piano player or small orchestra still accompanied the silent films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 1938 the North Tavern was in operation, owned by Ed Hodge who remained in charge for 38 years. Dewey Bright from Clayton was the next owner and he changed the name to the Pace Inn. Gary and Burt Valentine took over in 1980, selling to John and Carol Parker in 1987. That\u2019s when the business became known as the Pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">R.D. and Marcia Pierce took over in 1993 followed by Lucas and Leslie Place in 2018 with Flats Pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2014 David Green<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tony Muzzi is the new owner of the former Flats
