Awesome dive bar in downtown GR. Close to Van Andel so it’s perfect for drinks and food prior to a game or show. Service was great and very friendly. We asked for other dive bars in the area and all 3 servers were quick to suggest places and make

Quaint bar setting in downtown, could definitely use some updating with the stained ceiling tiles and older furniture. The fireplace is nice and cozy if you can get a seat close by. Unfortunately the food is hit or miss. The dip we had was great with plenty of chips, but the poutine was bad, very thick cut potatoes, few cheese curds, and thin watery gravy, we did not finish it.

Very dark inside which I I enjoy if you have trouble seeing or wear glasses, you may need to use your phone flashlight to read the menu. Me and my wife stopped in for lunch. We got the cottage burger and waffle fries plus a Coke. I was surprised when my bill came out to $52.. the waffle fries tasted like they had the flavor of bad oil and in my opinion the burger was not that great.The burger patty was small. I enjoy good food and don’t mind paying fort it but when I left here, I felt like I was robbed.

Some things never change, and I thank God The Cottage hasn't. It's perfect the way it is.
