First off don't be confused - the spirits room is located inside the 7 monks tap room. Second of all - Shout out to Rachel for being the best bartender and taking great care of us! The cocktails were amazing down to those potato chips! Something about tiki drinks and salty crunchy chips go hand in hand. Ha. We ended up buying some Dr Bird merchandise and a bottle of the French Connection. We would definitely come back just to see Rachel and try more amazing drinks.

This is the place to take a date for drinks in Midtown. Cozy, intimate vibes with quality cocktails

Best cocktail bar in Grand Rapids. They know what they do. I hate reviewing places like this, because they are already better than me. Staff is next level. On several visits the bartender has made off-menu drinks based entirely on my feedback. Atmosphere, music, everything, probably better than anything I would dream up. Doesn't hurt Dr. Bird is easily a top five spirit under $30.
Bad service. Guy literally fished the orange peel out of the mixed drink with his bare hands to transfer to another drink. Was very rude when we tried to cash out saying he isn’t technically working. Then why are you behind the bar?

incredible service from everyone involved! my drink was amazing and all the drinks I saw being made looked incredible
Sheesh…where do I begin? When you walk into this establishment you are immediately greeted with a rich atmosphere, seeping with the promise of a perfectly crafted cocktail. I have visited a few times and have yet to be disappointed. I’m a simple drinker, vodka gimlet is all I ask. The man behind the bar always delivers a beautifully chilled, full bodied gimlet. It is clear he has trained his staff to exceed expectations, as in his absence I was lucky enough to still be served a perfectly tailored cocktail. If you want consistency in your drinks, great pricing, and the feeling of dark academia to linger with you. This is your spot. 5/5. 10/10.

best?bar? in? GR. stepping into this bar feels like your witchy little paradise. the vibes are immaculate and the drinks taste divine (i have yet to get a bad one). but i think what makes this place better than the rest is their service. tonight was a great example where the bartender was lovely but the bar was a little busy and one of the other bartenders was there even on his night OFF and helped out to help things run smoother. it just goes to show how much the employees care and love this place too.

Visited for my first time last night & loved it. The bartenders were super nice, Jake and another gentleman were working. They were both awesome, friendly & talented mixologists. The vibe in here is great, the artwork is stunning & I found out it’s a local artist and they switch out the artwork throughout the year. Can’t wait to go back and see what new pieces they have up. The drink menu is great, it was hard to decide which drinks to get I can imagine they’re all great and I’m excited to go back and try another! Will be back soon!
