Profiles of Excellence eatdrink Eat & Drink at the Water’s Edge Smackwater Jack’s Taphouse SMACKWATER JACK’S TAPHOUSE offers a front row seat to one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, but that sensational show is only part of the attraction. Literally hanging over the water on Grand Bend’s River Road with a view of the mouth of the river opening into Lake Huron, an expansive two-tiered patio canopied by umbrellas and dotted with fresh flowers is the place to be — day and night — all summer (with propane torches tempering the nip in the air on either side of the warm weather). The interior presents its own charm as well. Once an old fish hut sitting vacant, the space has been refreshed and reinvigorated without losing its rustic allure and warm character. Comfort by Design With about three decades of experience as a home designer and builder, Brad Oke spotted the building and was not daunted by the project it presented. “It was destiny,” he says. Inspired, he determined the best use of space and set to work. The roof was raised, floors re-poured, insulation added and two bar areas were delineated. The result is an atmosphere that is energetic and sophisticated but still comfortably beachside. A 40-foot dock allows for easy entry to the restaurant from the water, but Oke identified a more critical access problem. Summer crowds can make parking a challenge, and to help ensure safe fun, Oke came up with a unique solution that has been widely praised and enjoyed by patrons since Day One in 2012.
