Enjoy the full bar, local beers and craft cocktails, while sitting just feet from the course. Entertainment and live music throughout the season.

Executive Chef, Casey Love

It’s no wonder that the first thing we had to purchase for our new Executive Chef, Casey Love, was a smoker! Although not a northern Michigan native (he spent serious time in Florida), the lumberjack spirit is strong in this one. With over a decade in the food world, including recently at Poppycock’s, we’ll let his words tell his cooking philosophy:

“Some days here in northern Michigan I get the eerie sense that I was born a hundred years too late. I’d love to be cooking bacon in a cast-iron pan over a campfire, back when they were still logging this area. Another day I could see myself drinking too much whiskey in the drift boat while trying to keep my fingers from freezing as I miss my first (and most likely only) bite of the day. In life, as in my kitchen, I get enveloped in the details — lost sometimes, when I’ve found something I really love. The sound of a warm guitar. The smell of burning hickory. The taste of a good bourbon. And then my cell phone rings. Yep. Over a hundred years too late.”

These days, you’ll find Casey smoking and grilling prime cuts of meat, fresh seafood and more at Bradley’s. Stop by to taste the history.

Valeria Thomas

When we started building Bradley’s we knew our Food & Beverage Manager had to be a superhero. We needed someone to handle hiring and scheduling, a person who could select all our beer and wine, just the right person to book the fabulous live entertainment and so much more. But what mere mortal could do all that – and do it with a smile?

Introducing Valeria Thomas!

Val came to Traverse City with intentions of being a nurse – but found that her true love was northern Michigan and the food and beverages that make this region so special. With 25 years of restaurant experience, she’s probably served you dinner or a drink – and done it with a smile.

When she’s not at work (which these days isn’t often!) you’ll find her with her Dad or teenage children enjoying hikes, books and laughter. When she is at Bradley’s, she’s infusing vodka, creating craft cocktails and serving as team leader, main cheerleader and mother hen.
