11 Best Beer Bars in Grand Rapids

“I'm here for work. and this happened to be an eight minute walk from my hotel. I came in during happy hour and got the 8$ monk-a-rita and whoa. it's so good. I got the cheese curds and pretzel bites cause, of course I'm an app girly 🤣 and they were sooo good. the saltiness of the food compliments the margarita so well. and the staff was so nice and welcoming, which I don't get a lot of cause I'm a solo diner.“

“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 :)“

“We rented their room out for a training and ordered as well. Their black and blue pizza should go viral it was so good!“

“I love Hopcat. I have been before and I'll come again. The beers and fries were great, the burgers seemed a bit small this time around. The stand out this time was our server, Sophie. While it took a bit of time to be greeted, once we were, she was spot on. I hope to have her as a server again.“

“Went here for the first time tonight and will definitely be coming back! Me and my partner had a few great drinks and were able to relax and enjoy vinyl night. The owner was super sweet and obviously puts a ton of time and energy into making this business the best it can be and even made an effort to connect with every table at least once. Whether you’re looking to stop in for a few drinks or hang out for a couple hours this place is a great option!“

“The burgers did not disappoint. I had read so much about the stuffed tots, but for me they were so so, probably won't order them again. A huge shout out to our server, Bailey, who made our experience so enjoyable. She showed up at all the right times to refill drinks, (and made sure they were just right),bring our food and check in with us. She put our experience over the top. Thank you, Bailey!“

“The people who work here are amazing the music they play and they try to get to know you ❤️“

“My girlfriend and her friends have gone a few times and is a cool place. The security there on the weekends she has gone is great. Saturday nite ( I am pretty sure of the names) Jamie ( she said was walking around) and Matt ( was security at the door) were amazing. Very friendly and kept an eye on everything. Were on top of the place and my girl and her friends felt at ease with them watching.. They will definitely be going back feeling safe. The bull is amazing and the live music rocked. She said any questions she had Matt answered professionally and Jamie was ontop of keeping the tables clear and open for people to sit.“

“Our waiter was a nice young man, but we had 2 issues with our lunch. #1... we ordered boneless wings but got bone in wings. The waiter made things right and it wasn't that big of a deal. When it was time to pay the bill, I used the QR code on the table. To my surprise, we were billed for two lunch platters when we only ordered one. Again, the waiter apologized and had the bill corrected. My buddy and I left feeling like two errors was one too many. I will dine here again, but will be testing the staff to make sure there are no errors like this again (I will not go back if there are errors this time).“

“A passable pub experience on their patio. On a hopping night downtown with a wait most places there was room for eight of us on their patio.

Despite the Dublin name, this feels like a pretty basic American joint, with friendly staff. I did appreciate that they had cans of NA Guinness 0!

The onion rings and loaded fries arrived barely warm, and I wouldn’t call the fries “loaded.” More like sprinkled. But the fries and toppings were tasty, and the onion ring dipping sauce was good.“

“Great cocktails and sharable plates. Plus, the views overlooking the city 🌆 are fantastic. Great service as well.“
