“My husband has always loved the beer from here so we took advantage of a trip to Grand Rapids to stop in and have a couple flights. All our drinks were amazing and I was particularly thrilled with the blue slushie drink. We enjoyed the ambiance of the outdoor seating area with comfortable picnic tables with umbrellas. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Looking forward to our next trip there!“
“I've been coming here off and on for the last couple of years and every single time I have been greeted with open arms and the best hospitality. Nice relaxing atmosphere and fun vibes. Always strike great conversation with whomever is working or visiting. The Kombucha is top notch and the "Sound Experience" on certain Thursday's are phenomenal. Check it out!“
“Daughter kept hyping up Apfelwein she had in Frankfurt. I stumbled across KB looking for cider places. Apfelwein on the menu! What a fun surprise! Far better than the cider place we visited next and tried a 6 cider flight. We only wish we could’ve brought some home in a growler 😞 but I suppose we’ll have to return :)“
“Good beers and good burgers.“

“We had a great experience at this brewery! The beer was excellent, with plenty of variety to choose from, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The space is on the smaller side, but it’s incredibly welcoming and has a great atmosphere.
One of the best parts is being able to build your own flight, which makes it easy to try a range of different beers. Everything is also really affordable, which is a huge plus. It’s a fantastic spot to relax and sample some great brews — we’ll definitely be back!“
“Great beers, food, and service! Highly recommend.“

Hey Ed! It was great to see you again. It's been 2-3 years, I think, and we really dig your new menu. Holy cow, the beers were perfectly to our liking as well. You must be very proud of your team! We'll try to make it back before we bounce in October. Cheers!
Great modern vibe in an old space. Beers are delicious, and the selection was great. Cider & wine too! Don't overlook the opportunity to enjoy something from the menu. Simply wow!“

“Vivant Brewery & Spirits in Grand Rapids was a really enjoyable experience and easily one of the more distinctive brewery settings I have visited.
The atmosphere is what grabbed me first. The building was originally a funeral home chapel, and instead of trying to hide that history, they leaned into it. The stained glass above the bar is especially striking, and the exposed wood, high ceilings, and historic architecture give the space a sophisticated, almost European feel. It has a lot of character without feeling gimmicky.
We only stopped in for appetizers, but everything we tried was very tasty. Vivant is known for putting more effort into the food than the typical brewery, with a from-scratch menu and some more creative options than standard bar food. Their duck nachos, beer cheese and pretzels, frites, and poutine are some of the items that come up repeatedly with other guests.
The drink side is just as interesting. They focus heavily on European-inspired beers, but they also make spirits and offer craft cocktails, so there is quite a bit more variety than you get at a brewery that is strictly about beer.
What I liked most was the overall vibe. It feels a little more refined and sophisticated than the average taproom, but it is still comfortable and relaxed enough that you can just sit down, have a drink, share some food, and enjoy the building.
Great ambiance, very good food, an interesting drink selection, and one of the coolest historic interiors in Grand Rapids. Vivant took a building with a very unusual past and turned it into something that feels classy, memorable, and completely its own.“
“Always enjoy your beer but why does your bathroom resemble a jail cell? Weird, dark, lighting and dark colors. Also, that stainless steal sink that stays on for maybe a fraction of a second.
Who saw this aesthetic and thought, I'd feel comfortable in my most vulnerable state here.
Very rapey“
“Saw a highway sign and was curious about the fun name. Asparagus tacos-unique and delicious! Flight of beers, cider and seltzers are good too. Welcoming staff and fun shopping. Be sure to pick up Hippie Chips. Well done folks!“
“I've been once but haven't been able to go again. Tried to go yesterday but didn't realize the school was on spring break. please work on adding signage to your doors and updating Facebook.“
“Loved getting to see Domestic Problems perform! The beer was great while Dan and Whitney gave us great service.“

“Went for the first time (hoping to buy bread, lol, they dont have any). We were impressed right away! First, the prices are amazing for a Rockford restaurant, 2nd nearly everything is homemade!! Down to the French Onion Soup recipe being the same one from the original Arnies I grew up with and was SO GOOD. Next the Chicken sandwich was seriously amazing! The Im a snob for French Dips so that was a 6 out of 10, but thats the only complaint. Even the ranch dressing on the salad was homemade and best Ive ever had! I cannot wait to try the entire menu! I hear their Pizza is award winning! Our Server and even the chef/owner were great!“

“Best beer in a market that is absolutely saturated. Their creations just flat out taste better than anything else. From a light drinking lager to a stout that you can only have 1 of LOL. Chill atmosphere with a friendly staff that is efficient without being overpowering. Food is excellent with a simple burger and fries that I’d put up against anyone else’s.“

I cannot recall the name of this one, but it has roasted 🍍, goat cheese and bacon on it.
Im notta fan of 🍍 on pizza, but this changed my mind.
Pizza may look bit over done, but it was perfect‼“

“This is a review for their Centennial Room Service and staff. We had a post elopement wedding celebration here, and we were blown away by the attentiveness and professionalism we experienced. Helena is amazing, I had a million questions leading up to the event, she was very prompt with responses and providing me with needed information. Our bartenders that night (7/25/26), I’m so sorry I can’t recall their names, were absolutely fantastic. Assisting me with with technology issues and providing service to all the guests. We received so many compliments on the food and space, so I really just wanted to say THANK YOU for making our day so amazing.“
