The Tin Can

Fun bar, great staff and HUGE selection of canned drinks. This place is either so chill or totally crazy and it's fun both ways. They have games, darts, and it's a special place for a bday celebration for sure!

Stopped in for my birthday and absolutely cannot recommend this place more. Mikey was the bartender and he was AMAZING. Give that man a raise cause he was slaying drinks out all night long. Pudding shots also are absolutely amazing. If you’re looking for a chill bar in Grand Rapids, this is it.

Was recommended this place by someone on the street and we weren't disappointed! We were promised ice cold PBRs and a good time - and that's exactly what was had!

Darts, beer pong, fun crowd.

Bartender cut my friend off from buying anything period because 12 dollars in tips wasn't enough for her. Won't be coming back. If any of my bartenders ever cut someone off for thay they'd lose their job. Literally refusing me a sale over an ego.

The staff does not check patrons correctly for firearms. I would not feel safe at this venue.

This is a pretty neat place to wind down after a days work.

Its right on my bus route when I'm going home from work, and I just started going a few months ago once or twice a week.

I've worked in the service and hospitality business my entire working life, and I always tip my bartenders at least 15% of the bill because it can be a demanding and thankless job

That being said, I also dont believe people who are serving alcohol should instigate arguments and fights with patrons who just mind their own business after having worked all day.

Telling customers they dont want your money is just flat out bogus

One bad apple spoils the bunch!

I liked this place and I'm probably never going back

WELL DRESSED FOREIGN BUSINESS MEN NOT ALLOWED!!!! The management at this establishment do not seem to be sober enough after midnight to read government official paperwork used for identification.
I witnessed the door guy refuse entry to this group of 3, well dressed people in line. There were 2 guys and and a gal. What caught my eye was their attire, thinking they were a good looking group. I could hear the group asking for a reason they were not going to be let in and the door guy wouldn't give them a reason. Then another tin can guy came up, didn't try to figure out what was going on, just walked up and said, "he said No entry, just leave."
I had to know what was going on so I approached them as they walked away.
The jist of what happened: two of them had regular ID's, the 3rd had ppwk from homeland security to prove he could be here, student visa ppwk. When the 3rd guy gave them his ppwk, the guy immediately said you two can go in, but not this guy (the one with the ppwk). The gal asked why and they wouldn't give them a reason. She asked if it was because he was brown! That's when the other came up and told them all to go, still not giving them a reason.
I do NOT tolerate discrimination, if it was because TIN CAN saw color, race, couldn't read the ppwk presented, couldn't understand a very minor accent, or hit their ratio of foreigners in the bldg, TIN CAN showed they are not worth returning to.
The group was very interesting, nice people. So sorry they had to be treated like that. TIN CAN should be ashamed of themselves.
No, I was not in the Tin Can. I was walking to my car when I saw this unfold.

Overall great and relaxing establishment to enjoy a couple cold ones with the fellas, maybe run a couple games of beer pong, or even just to chop it up with the locals.

Suzy is always warm and welcoming when providing your drinks, or even recommending something new to try, as well as most of the other staff.

Gritty, but I'm into gritty. Sat outdoors some, inside some, great place to have a drink and chat with a friend or stand an event.

My friend & I were utterly shocked at the complete lack of respect we were shown here tonight. The bartender not only acted as if we were bothering her, she blatantly told us we were.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s a bartenders job to serve drinks & take drink orders, which would include answering questions pertaining to said drinks.

As you can see here in the photo I attached; their drink menu includes selections such as: “Windex”, “Smurf Piss”, & “Surfer on Acid”. I beg your pardon? I had no idea what these drinks contained. So I then asked what 2 of the drinks included.
When I attempted to ask my second question, the bartender then responded with; “honey this isn't 20 questions, I’m not answering anymore questions tonight, pick your drink & let’s go.”

I was appalled. My friend had to verbally correct her on my behalf. This was my first time at this establishment & I will not be returning.
