Rick Revette comes from a long family line of Bay City restaurant owners, and the refrigeration man-turned-restaurateur is building a legacy of his own with three restaurants – Mulligan’s Pub, Rattlesnake Rick’s Roadhouse and Gatsby’s Seafood and Steakhouse — within a few blocks of each other along Bay City’s riverfront. “During Prohibition, my grandfather ran a speak-easy on Bay City’s West Side and my father used to wash the beer bottles,” he said, grabbing a seat at Mulligan’s. His grandparents went legit when Prohibition was repealed, and are best known for operating Revette’s for decades. “They would serve fish dinners, and I remember seeing the boxes stacked up to the ceiling,” he said. “We had a big family, and I remember everyone getting together and playing blooper ball behind the bar.”
