“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 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!“

“Stella's was the first place in GR I ate when I moved and it's always going to be a special place! I love the poor man's wings and the burgers are always great. Nice staff and they try to seat you as quickly as they can. The vibe is very different based on peak or off timing as it can get very busy, loud, and hectic.“

“If you’re in Grand Rapids and looking for a fun night out, I highly recommend checking out Twisted Bull Bar 🤘

This place has a little bit of everything. Tons of drink options to choose from, two pool tables, a pong table area, and even a mechanical bull. It’s the kind of spot where you can hang out, play games, and keep things interesting all night.

You cannot go wrong with eating here as well. They have options perfect for grabbing something to snack on while you’re having drinks.

Great vibe, fun atmosphere, and plenty to do. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience at Dublin Hall, and it was all because of our incredible server, Lawson.

From the second we sat down, Lawson went above and beyond in every possible way. He was attentive without being overbearing, friendly without feeling forced, and genuinely made us feel like VIPs the entire time. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism and personality so effortlessly. He knew the menu inside and out, gave amazing recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly and right on time.

What really stood out was how much he cared. Our drinks were never empty, he checked in at just the right moments, and he made sure we were completely satisfied with every single thing. Even when it got busy, he handled it like a pro — calm, efficient, and still giving us top-tier service.

Dublin Hall is lucky to have Lawson. He didn’t just serve us food — he created an experience. If you’re going, ask for him specifically. He’s the kind of server that makes you want to come back again and again.

10/10. Absolute legend.“
