WELCOME TO THE SAWMILL! The Sawmill Saloon, owned and operated by Linda Ozenghar-Proctor, is located next to the White Pine Trail State Park in Big Rapids, Michigan, & was established in January of 1969. This quaint tavern and restaurant has been operated by the Proctor family for thirty-nine years. The tavern is located on the site of an old sawmill, and is open 365 days a year. We have year round patio cookouts (Click here for a tour of our patio), open mic every Wednesday night, great food, and only the best bands. Please look through our website to find out what we have to offer, as well as upcoming events. LET'S GO TO PROCTOR'S AND GAMBLE! What's better than a night out with friends at your favorite bar?
