If you're in Mt. Pleasant and you're looking for CoCo Joe's Beach House restaurant, you're going to end up empty handed. The restaurant, located at 4855 East Blue Grass Road, changed its name and its menu recently. It is now known at
Hunter's Ale House.
The restaurant is headed in a completely new direction and will no longer resemble the beach-house theme it was once known for. The pianos are also headed out the door, eventually.
"Over time, some of that will come out and some other things will come in," says Pat Simons, the general manager of Hunter's.
Some of the old decorations remain, however, as Hunter's makes a slow transition to its new theme. One difference that's easy to see is the new 226-inch HDTV--the second largest screen in Mt. Pleasant behind the movie theater. There are also new booths in the center of the restaurant.
Hunter's Ale House will have burgers, pizzas and a variety of Michigan-made craft beers for patrons to sample.
