Enjoy delicious small bites and fresh cocktails at FIREWORX. Our bartenders will make your "usual" with a twist, and our kitchen will wow you with small bites featuring in-season local produce, farmers market finds and fun favorites. From our Strawberry Rhubarb Martini to our Bang Bang Shrimp, we will continue to bring new flavors to our friends and guests in St. Ignace.
FIREWORX is your UP Live Music destination. The 1200 sf lounge is the most chill music venue in the area. Open to the public, our cozy lounge is the perfect place to hear real musicians, not dinner guests. Featuring an innovative sound system built by Audio Engineer Kevin Belanger ,

performing at Fireworx Bar

Make your event a reality at The Boardwalk Hotel. We can accommodate up to 30 overnight guests and many more for a daytime event. And the fun part is that you can take over the entire hotel for your event. We will work with you to ensure that every detail is taken care of.
The Boardwalk Hotel and Fireworx Bar are conveniently located in the heart of St. Ignace, making it easy to explore the local attractions. Walk to the ferry, stroll the Boardwalk, and take in stunning fireworks (each Summer Saturday),
all without getting in your car!
At The Boardwalk Hotel, we're dedicated to providing great service. Contactless check-in is one way of saying "welcome to your home away from home". We'll always be there to assist with needs or requests, but if you're self-sufficient, our system lets you check in online, receive a code to your digital door lock on your cell phone, and then go directly to your room. You won't need to check in with anyone.
Built in 1929,
and formally known as The Travelers Inn,
The Boardwalk Hotel is the last of the
old downtown hotels of St. Ignace.
Originally a 2 story building,
a third floor was added in the mid 1950's
in anticipation of the building
of the Mackinac Bridge.
The current owners, Charlie and Rene Chiara,
completed a 3-year renovation in 2024 and
were delighted with the results.
They look forward to welcoming
the community to their Sophomore Year.
The Chiaras are grateful for the efforts of many
local craftsmen including our General Contractor
Jeff Cryderman - Cryderman Builders
and his #1, Zach Gould.
Most mornings we serve a complimentary continental breakfast
with breads, pastries, cereals, great coffee & teas, and fresh juices in our Breakfast Room. The Breakfast Room is located off the Lobby up the small staircase. At times, when there are very few guest in the hotel, we will serve breakfast at our Coffee Shop just down the street. But there will always be fresh coffee in the breakfast room even when breakfast is served off-site.
Featuring a wide selection of spirits & wines, and
always a great Bartender, FIREWORX will be
the place to listen to live music and
enjoy home made snacks well into the evening. During the day, the lounge will be available for hotel
guest to hang out and visit with friends and family.
