Finally- bottled Schmohz root beer! While they don't offer a huge selection of craft beers and…read morelocal bottles, they have a few unique ones, including this delicious, locally made root beer I was on the hunt for. But their main drink of choice, as the name suggests, is wine. In addition, the shop is filled with other Grand Rapids-centered and Michigan-made items including salsa, cheese, interesting condiments, and gifts. I get the impression that when the owners find something they think is tasty, funny or whimsical, they bring it to their store. IE. The food, drink, and gift selection is a little bit random but with every item, there is a story, which the friendly staff easily offers up. When I stopped in last, it was close to closing time and the staff was having what appeared to be a wine and cheese paring party. I'm not sure if it was an actual publicized customer event, or they were just drinking wine in the middle of the day, but they eagerly offered some free drink samples to us as we shopped. Cheers to day drinking and local shopping!

It's right around a ton of other shops, restaurants, and things to do so it's a great spot to stop on a walk or on a day out. My run club Lyon Street Run club recently met here and it's been great. The wall art is really nice and the staff is incredibly friendly. There is not a TON of seating, making it more intimate, but also makes it great for a quick to-go drink from a local business.

On a Wednesday night at 5 pm, I couldn't be more impressed! The second I arrived, this place…read morestarted flooding in. I knew I struck gold. A uniquely designed interior, as you can clearly notice the second you enter. A restored church, maintaining some of the most beautiful qualities in stained glass. Each table had a private feeling about it. But it doesn't stop there! Just by reading the menu items, you know what's up. Duck Fat Fries with aioli! Cmon, dare I say more?! And Fried Brussel Sprouts were the perfect amount of crispy with bursting flavor. I'll be back, Vivant, for many other items... don't move. A few that I fancied: Smoked mushroom reuben Duck nachos Nashville chicken Bone marrow Poutine

The Green Well Curry was fine. Wish it came with more than the two slices of grilled tofu, but there were tons of noodles to make it a large serving size. I'll probably try something different next time.

When I came in the second time, the cashier informed me that Stock Da Bar was having a tasting soon, which was cool since I didn't know that that was happening or that they did that there! I love the fact that this is a literal corner store since the entrance is literally on a corner (if you know you know). It seems like they have a lot of variety in here as well. I'm sure whatever you're looking for, they probably have it! They do charge a 3% fee for using a credit card, so be aware of that.
