Haven't had a good experience here myself since it's so crowded and loud and it's so difficult to get drinks ordered. Canned beers and fruity shots with nowhere to sit.

Fun spot with a nice bottle/can selection. I was told that they have water pong tournaments on Wednesday nights.

Bartender is very rude went out to have a few drinks with friends sat at the bar ordered a couple shots was never asked to open a tab after the third drink was ordered which we were paying on our cards we where asked by the bartender was she doing something wrong we all said NO she responded with well your not tipping me and this is how I make a living and if your not going to tip there’s seats in the back we responded that we don’t like leaving tips on our card and planned on using the atm to tip her after with cash when we’re done having drinks and enjoying ourself mind you there a 3% fee for paying with your credit card I’ve never been to any bar or restaurant where someone asked you for a tip and basically tells you to move out there section if your not going to tip them when the bartender cleary see that’s your having a good time and didn’t plan on leaving yet will never return feel discriminated against. Then the bartender went and start gossiping about us not tipping her to the other Co Workers when she never gave us a chance to give her a tip ?‍♀️ just awful

Stole my friend’s ID claiming it was fake. Had to call 911 to get it back and then they wouldn’t let us in afterwards (even tho it was proven to be real by the police) because the bouncer felt unsafe? Do not go here the bouncers and managers gaslit us and they might do so to you too.

The bouncer took my id and refused to give it back. Had to call the police and wait for them to come to get it back. One of the worst bar experiences I've had.

They will take your REAL ID and claim it’s fake for no logical reason other than “it looks off” make you stand outside in the cold while you wait for the cops to show up.

Such an amazing atmosphere. Got to play beer pong and got second place. Was such a great time. We had such a big party so we ordered one of each and all were so delicious. The service at the bar was really nice as well. They were super helpful on different kinds of beer to try!!!! Spent too much money here but was really worth the experience!

Been going to tin can for about 5 years now before every show in gr. The whole time my boyfriend and I were in there the dark haired bartender was being extremely cold and rude to us. Asked for whiskey shot recommendations and got laughed at and told “we don’t do that” even though they have multiple whiskey based shots. Asked for a specific shot on the menu and aggressively said no, we don’t have that. Tried to order a final shot and close out our tab after being there for an hour and were refused service, tried to ask why and they refused to give us a reason and said go to another bar. We were playing darts quietly in the corner by ourselves. It felt like the girl bartender had a problem with us for no reason at all. My favorite bar in gr and I will not be returning again.

The service, atmosphere, and drinks used to be so great here and now it is a garbage place filled with garbage people that do not want you to have a good time and do not want you to be happy.

Very DisrespectfulTin can incidentIt was my brother and I with seven other girls. It was saturday on Halloween weekend. Everyone was wearing costumes and I had a one piece zip up ski outfit. I went to go use the bathroom and needed my brothers help to get my costume off because I had shoulder surgery 2 months ago. So we obviously went into bathroom stall. This is when a bouncer that followed us from the front door to the bathroom said no 2 people in a stall and said that you 2 have to leave. We tried to explain the situation and he wouldn't even listen to me or my twin brother! He was very disrespectful on how he was talking to me and wouldn't even listen to what we had to say. We come to Tin Can often and this is the worse service we have ever had in Grand Rapids! I'm very disappointed in Tin Can and how they handled this situation!

Although it was deservedly a slow night for the Tin Can, the bouncer turned away my friend at the door, who forgot his card while the Tin Can was still open. He disrespected my friend who was polite to him, and simply asked to be allowed inside to close his tab. My friend had the door slammed in his face and had the door locked on him. My friend is now inconvienced and has to return tomorrow in order to close his tab and retrieve his credit card. My friends and I will not be returning to the Tin Can because of such poor customer service.

Bouncers are on power trip, long lines, long waits and poor customer service. If you wanna wait two hours to get in, an hour to drink just to get disrespected this place is for you
