30 Best Bars near Byron Center

“Good selection of beer and the food’s not bad.“

“Excellent assorted specialty coffees. The flat bread pizza was surprisingly good as well. Staff were all above and beyond in their service. Truly wonderful addition to Grand Rapids and Alger Heights.“

“Had the best lunch today the Derby Tavern, Cuban sandwich and pretzels with cheese were amazing!!! Delicious food, great service, highly recommend!!!“

“The bartenders Mike and Dan are the best, we just moved to the area and were looking for a place to get a few drinks and received the warmest welcome. These guys run a tight ship. Service was incredible, atmosphere was great. Looking forward to spending a lot of time at this place. Cheers ?“

“I was only there for about an hour and a half back in May. I will definitely vist again the next time I'm in Grand Rapids. I like the raw nostalgic feel it presents. I felt completely comfortable.“

“This place is a lot of country and a lot of rock-n-roll. You name it they got it, karaoke, pong ball, billiards, live music, dance if you want, and yes, a mechanical bull. If you want a taste of Wayland, Lowell, Middleville, Dorr and Hastings right within the city limits of Grand Rapids, then this SE side dive is a must!“

“If a dive bar could be a chameleon, this place would be it. If not for the big mural screaming "Pump House," one would think this is the management office for the adjacent apartment buildings. Don't be fooled, for once you find this gem off of the beaten path of SE Kalamazoo near 42nd Street you will find a great and relaxed atmosphere with down-to-earth regulars and a pool table, and the drinks are more than affordable making this dive of SE GR a must.“

“Fantastic food and service!!!“

“Great place no cover. Went this 4/20/2024. Had an awesome free live show. G of to see three dope bands play and PBR on tap cheap and beat as ever. One of my favorite places to check out live music plus has a great vibe.

Parking: Kinda have to look around for a place to park for a second, but usually not long.“

“If you love absolute creamers, then this place is absolutely for you!
The Brewmaster, Sweet Lu, is a standalone mixologist in Grand Rapids, crafting up some of the tastiest dirty bevies around these parts. Downright righteous flavors and spectacularly sips to satiate your desire for sours.“

“This place is awesome. It was my sister's Birthday and my man Arman really helped pull the night together for us. This guy was awesome the whole night and really kept the vibe going till the end. I can't wait to come back for my next night out!“

“Five stars! We ended a week of camping with a vehicle delay on our way home and stopped for lunch at Big Bob’s while my husband took the truck to get fixed. First of all, the food was amazing (our son said the deep dish was better than Giordano’s). But more importantly, Rob and his staff took were beyond hospitable to our 3 kids and I as we spent the next 5 hours utilizing their Uno cards, Connect Four and enjoying their complementary popcorn. If you’re ever in the Grand Rapids area we highly recommend giving them a try. We’ll definitely be back next time we come through Grand Rapids.“

“Cyd was the sweetest server I've ever had. Always been given fantastic service at Beltane Bar but Cyd offered something extra that I've never had the pleasure of experiencing anywhere else. She made my birthday dinner with family so much fun and I hope Beltane Bar knows how lucky they are to have her. Thanks again for everything.“

“Muy bien! Great staff and would be a great place for a date night.“

“CLK overall was an amazing environment and very family oriented. I would like to give a huge shout out to the manager from last night, I came in believing I had a reservations because I was celebrating my bday but also doing a gender reveal that was done Feb 13th for March 1st but it wasn’t in there system. Instead of turning me around her and some of staff maneuvered and make things work in my favor. The server we had started out great but then became a little rude and I don’t know if it was because of my party downsizing or what but the attitude changed. She started reaching over ppl not saying excuse me so I became a little irritated on my special day. I really wanted to experience more of the food but the way things went it just changed the whole energy for me. But everything wasn’t bad and like I said I truly appreciate the amazing manager from last night and I was told that the bartender that made the drinks was superb!!!! Thank you“

“I need to go here more often. The food quality is amazing for the price! Melt in your mouth burgers. I was sad they ran out of onion rings, but the fries were great. And the food was so hot it was hard to eat!

Our server Tessa(?) was amazing, always smiling and very attentive.

So why did I take away one star for Atmosphere? It is very noisy... Not a lot they can do about it though.“

“I had a great experience at Olives tonight. Everyone from the hostess (Elise) to our waitress (Emily) exemplified great customer service. A couple of my favorites were the brussel sprouts and the lychee drink. We will be back!“

“I ordered the pork chop. It was huge and I took half home for another meal. My item was a weekend special and included salad and a desert. My husband had the salmon and liked it very much. We split my lettuce wedge and shared my desert and it was perfect.“

“We took the family for brunch this past Sunday. Drinks and food excellent!“

“nice spot for any occasion.“

“Mouth watering food 🤤🤤 Margaritas 👌🏻 Great service & atmosphere! I was very impressed! 10 out of 10 recommend.“

“We had a great meal and the service was even better. We will be back!“

“My wife went back home to visit her family in Michigan for a couple days and while there she went out for dinner with her college friends to celebrate having our first daughter. She was expecting a great night out with her friends however the staff wouldn’t serve her drinks because they “couldn’t verify she was of age” even though she showed them her ID of 24 years of age. This ruined her night out with friends and forced them to go somewhere else to have an enjoyable night out. Very disappointing with how the staff handled this situation.“

“The Elotes salad and G.O.A.T. pizza were AWESOME. The kids enjoyed chicken and fruit cups and I got to try some Knob Creek 18. Everything was superb. Thanks, Beer City Bread! We'll be back!“

“Pros
Service: There were two people working. They were decently busy, and the two were hustling! But they were happy to take the time to give local recommendations. They were happy we were there.

Beer: Decent. It wasn’t our favorite in the area, but certainly enjoyable.

Atmosphere: Super relaxed and chill. It’s in a cool little space.

Cons
Seating: We sat at the bar and the seating was uncomfortable.

Overall: I really enjoyed this brewery.“

“We just ordered the 4 person family taco dinner. Omg!! So much food and amazingly good! All came very well packaged and professionally presented. Can’t wait til we order again!“
