“Love this bar, most everyone takes great care of the customers. Cole was my waiter tonight and he is always so attentive, friendly, and accommodating. I was sitting alone and he made sure I was taken care of the entire time I was here! ❤️“

“My dog Finley loves this place and the staff are all great. Nice to have somewhere indoors to escape the bad weather in Michigan!“

“I rarely leave reviews, but our service that last two visits deserve it! Our kids love the free popcorn and card games. We love the food and drinks, and June is the best bartender and waitress! She reminded us what real hospitality feels like, remembers us and our orders from previous visits, and made real connections with our teens. We'll definitely be back on nights when she's working!“

“Food and atmosphere have always been great. However, lately the pizza sauce flavor has declined. In addition - the side salad is terrible. A bowl of dry spring mix with a few tomatoes and a handful of cheese. Flavorless. A better mix of greens - add some romaine and iceberg, toss on a couple cucumbers. Meatballs! Yum!“

“What a great experience here! Everyone was friendly and approachable and excited to tell us about their bubbly! Very clean and aesthetic environment! Overall we had a lot of fun here and we will be back soon!“

“Great staff. Friendly atmosphere. Fantastic drinks!“

“We enjoyed a delicious brunch, as well as the performances by staff. We also enjoyed walking around the rest of the unique spaces. The Rickroll from the "landline" phone was hilarious!“

“Great service and food ! Friendly vibe“

“This place has socialize on the way but if you're having too much fun they'll tell you they have to serve another table amd tneed you to cash out. If you want to have fun and socialize...I Do NOT recommend you go to West Sife Socal because that is not the vibe of this place. More like ANTI social!!! Don't go...parking and socializing is terrible.“

“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.“

“Thanks to Bob's for steppin' up and taking Russian Vodka off the shelf in support of Ukraine. God Bless America!“

“Great customer service . But a women named Brit sits at the bar and gives people attitudes. Claims she’s the owners wife . Love the bar , love the bartenders and workers . But whoever Brit is . Really makes it uncomfortable. Attitude for no reason , even when you don’t speak to her . She’ll speak to you like she’s runs the place . Would recommend for customer service , but her specifically is a no go . 2 out of 5 stars . Would be 4 stars but like I said she sucks the energy out with the nasty attitude .“

“When I moved here a year ago, I didn’t know many people, and because I’ve always struggled with social anxiety, meeting new people has never come easily. The Apartment Lounge has become so much more than just a bar to me—it’s one of the few places where I feel genuinely safe and comfortable walking in by myself. Even on nights when I’m not ready to socialize much, just being surrounded by welcoming people in an accepting environment helps me feel connected instead of isolated. Having a place that gives me the confidence to leave my apartment, be part of the community, and slowly become more comfortable being around others has meant more than I can express. Thank you for creating a space where people like me can feel like they truly belong.“

“Vinny's is exactly what you think it is and it makes it a perfect dive bar full of lovely people and western Michigan culture located on the northeast side of Grand Rapids. Vinny's provides a down home spirit and a great place to grab a PBR and test your luck playing a little Keno. Come to Vinny's where you are sure to make a friend and have a good heartfelt conversation about the philosophy of life. Vinny's, it's exactly what you think it is where community is always on tap, even if the beers aren't.“

“Our favorite restaurant no longer serves Manhattan style clam chowder and we are nothing less than heartbroken. We didn't realize that our favorite thing there wasn't popular enough to retain as a menu item when Leo's changed hands. We can live with the smaller lobster tails, but this is really hard for us to take. Cry.“

“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!“

“Amazing cocktails and the vibe is really cool. Love the dark mahogany wood and cigar bar feel. These guys know their stuff when it comes to cocktails. Adam waited on us and can rattle off the nuances of any of the drink. Top shelf folks!“

“Really cute atmosphere friendly ppl who work there has a really good Philly cheese steak. I will be back for more 🤤 10/10 recommend“

“Great place to hang out with friends and have a good time! Friendly atmosphere and great prices on food and drinks!“

“We love the college inn! We feel lucky to have it as our neighborhood bar! Always lively, good drinks, fair prices! Kay is typically our bar tender and we love her, she’s always fun to talk to and takes everyone’s orders as soon as they walk in. Never a bad time at the inn 🤠“

“amazing beers and cocktails. and the food is 🤤 awesome atmosphere and staff! will be back!“

“Chicken Pickle sandwich was interesting, glad I tried, wouldn't necessarily get again. Lobster mac was very good, not great. Prices very reasonable. Our server, Danielle, was excellent, friendly, helpful, professional. Would return if ever back in town.“

“When you step into the Pickwick you step back in time 60 years. This is the way bars used to back in the day.

This place is so old school, it still has a pay phone. Bring your kids to show them what one looks like!

For you wine drinkers: they have both kinds! White AND red!“

“I found Putt Putts when I was 23 yo and coming home from college as as Grand Rapids raised baby and found the most amazing burger ANYWHERE I've ever visited... nothing can compete to their Ultimate Burger. Got married and had a son because of my 1st date there and couldn't love them more even now that I've lived in every other state since then 💗“

“We made a reservation and asked for a quieter area and they accommodated without question. Food and drinks were good ... service was good. The bar took a bit to get our orders out but the server was very communicative about where they were in the process. One in our party has a gluten allergy and while they did have gluten free buns available for burgers, there were very limited sides to choose from to swap out for the fries. The server did know about cross contamination from the fryer and returned to the table to say there was gluten in the turkey burger that was ordered. Cole slaw and salad were really the only sides to choose from. One suggestion is to include GF (gluten free) markings on the menu like you have for Vegan and Vegetarian items. It would have made searching the menu so much easier!“

“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.“

“Second time here ,so far ,itis good“

“Great burgers on Bike Night“

“Mike and Cam made our night. They were extremely accommodating and made sure that we were always cared for. I would certainly come back for the wait staff alone! I was here with friends I promise, but they wouldn’t take a good picture 😊“

“What a fun spot for Christmas drinks! Stopped in thanks to Lori - stayed for a few rounds thanks to her, Dustin & J & the rest of the ‘A team’ . Thanks for a great Sunday! See you in July!!“

“REOPENED and better than ever, but limited food options for a couple months.

I spoke with the bartender and he explained they were able to get most everything up and running again back in mid December, but there is still a bit of painting and they need to build up their revenue to purchase new kitchen equipment to bring their menu back fully. They do offer a few options like quesadillas, nachos, and so on, but not much.

- Service: Same great personable service.

- Atmosphere: Everything is clean and new.

They have two pool tables and they are in great shape. They cost $1, which is the going price for a game of pool these days. They also have dart boards, but we do not use them and cannot speak to that. They have an ATM machine and change machine.

The wood flooring brings new vibrancy. The walls are clean. Everything feels new (because it is). Some of the paraphernalia includes mild adult material, so I would not bringing kids.

- Conclusion: Glad to see The Web back on their feet better than before. I enjoy coming to play pool. Hope to have a burger there soon.

Visited on a Tuesday at 7pm.

Parking: The parking lot is actually bigger and nicer than previously.“

“Such a beautiful venue and great staff!“

“Recommend… with qualifiers…the service from the staff, being greeted by the valet staff, front desk staff, concierge, etc was phenomenal! The room was spacious, the beds very comfortable… but… little things like dirty glasses in the bathroom, soap scum around the bathroom faucets, lack of seating (other than one desk chair) in the room is unacceptable in a high-end hotel. Disappointed there was no room service for breakfast or really any real breakfast options… I had better options at the 11 Best Western properties I stayed in during a 2023 two week road trip - full buffets (eggs, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, fruit, juice/milk, toast, bagels etc… INCLUDED as part of my reservation… ) the only breakfast option at the Amway Grand is grab-and-go cr*p… for an additional charge…from the Wolfgang Puck Kitchen Counter… located in the first floor of the hotel… As part of the “Curio Collection” of Hilton, and for the price of the room, I expect better. I never minded paying for room service as it was well worth the convenience,especially when staying for a business conference that has minimal time available to seek other more palatable options…Hotel was much better when run by the Amway company… I’d give the Amway Grand 2.5 stars at the most…“

“Was in town for some concerts and I'm a sucker for a good Irish Pub. This place did not disappoint. Mary was fantastic behind the bar! Atmosphere was everything you'd want in an Irish Pub. Perfect pints of Guinness and don't get me going on the Irish whiskey selection! This will be my forever concert pre-game spot in GR! Hell, I may drive the 2.5 hrs just for a Pub visit!“

“The most amazing brunch I’ve ever had!!! The food was absolutely phenomenal!! Can’t believe it took me this long to go. Our server was super knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations.“

“Have fun every weekend !!!“

“Great service Great Lunch specials Fast efficient Clean and friendly“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing!! The staff is amazing and extremely attentive!!!!“

“Great bar on the West Side of Grand Rapids! You can't beat the $6 burger and beer special on Wednesdays, and all the other weekly specials. Definitely a spot to check out!!“

“Went on a whim and couldn’t have been more satisfied! We ordered a dbl spicy Swiss & rodeo burger as well as the pretzel bites. Everything was hot & super tasty! Friendly staff. Chill environment. Clean restrooms. Would definitely recommend to others as well as return in the future. 10/10 stars!⭐️“

“This is the best bar on the West side. I’m hesitant to recommend it, because I hate people. But I love gatherings. Weird, isn’t it?“

“Awesome place to go to for Pulaski Days! They have 2 levels, upstairs and downstairs - the lower level was a little cooler. This seems to be a little known place, as it wasn't very busy.
However, their food was DELICIOUS! The pierogis were some of the best I've ever had.“

“Was in tonight for dinner in GR on the front patio with a couple girlfriends and we were approached by a homeless man who tried to grab our bags. I’m reaching out to praise your manager and the rest of the staff for taking our concerns seriously and jumping into action. Top notch team you’ve got there. You were already a go to spot for us, but even moreso now. Thank you for a great spot, delicious menu, and for making your patrons safety a top priority!!“

“This is one of my favorite late-night spots on the NE side. Randy is, without a doubt, the best bartender in Grand Rapids. The food is surprisingly good, especially for a bowling alley, and the prices are fair. They also have great pool tables.“

“This place is cool. The outside is nondescript but it fits the atmosphere of the bar. I stepped in just to use the bathroom and the gentleman behind the bar, Nick, was so polite that my girlfriend and I ended up staying for a quick drink while our pizza cooked next door. The price was decent for the drinks we received. We will definitely stop in again next time we are walking past.“

“Everything is good at Charlie’s“
