    We always have a good experience here. The food is always good. I recommend the steak sandwich if that's your thing. The cocktails are always changing and also really good. They have a great ambiance with several different seating style options. The waitstaff has always been friendly and quick.

    Knoop was such a fun spot! We stopped in for an afternoon drink to take in the rooftop vibes, and it didn't disappoint. As expected with a rooftop bar, drinks were on the pricier side--I had a delicious (and strong) $14 Paloma. Service was great, and overall I'm glad we made the stop!

    I loved my visit to Knoop! Had a little bit of a tricky time finding it (it's in the hotel, elevators up to the top/8th floor), but once we found it, we really enjoyed the food and ambiance! It's very vibey, if you will, with views of town and a nice sunset. Indoor/outdoor seating, with tables, high tops, and more lounge like seating as well. The food exceeded expectations! For two people, we tried: - Bikini Bottom Buns; brown butter poached lobster, crab & shrimp, lemon aioli, butter bibb, fresh herbs, shaved asparagus, toasted buns - Dock of the Bay; wonton tostada, avocado crema, bay scallops, shallot, thin sliced jalapeño, cucumber lime dressing, julienned radish, edible flower - Luv N' Peas; house made gnudi, pebble creek mushrooms, sweet pea pesto, lemon whipped ricotta, toasted walnut, pea tendril Everything tasted phenomenal and was beautiful presented. Only thing was that the lobster buns and mushroom/pea dish were decadently rich! Lobster/seafood in the buns was a good amount and so buttery and savory. The mushrooms were gorgeous and tasty. Scallop tostadas were lighter and full of complementary flavors and textures. We left absolutely stuffed. I believe they change up their menu frequently.

    We were staying at the Hilton Canopy when an unexpected snow storm came through. Neither of us were really dressed for it so we wanted to stay nearby. We were so fortunate to find out that Knoop is a rooftop bar right in the hotel! Often times hotel bars are boring. But like this unique hotel, there was nothing boring about Knoop! The walls close for the winter, but there is outside seating in the summer. There were some beautiful views and also private seating. The snow gave this an even more warm and romantic feel. We had already eaten so we just came for a glass of wine. The bartender was great! Very friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back in about a month!

    Took us a minute to find but it was worth the hunt. Beautiful setting and backdrop to enjoy a cocktail. Drinks are on the pricey side, to be expected, but are unique. They have a happy hour until 7 but it is quite limited. My husband rum and coke sounded lame but it was anything but. My Paloma was decent. Very friendly staff.

    If you're in Grand Rapids and looking for a spot with incredible skyline views, Knopps Rooftop should be at the top of your list! We recently tried it out, and the experience was fantastic. The atmosphere is upscale yet relaxed, perfect for enjoying a beautiful evening with friends or a date. The charcuterie board was impressive, with a great mix of cheeses, meats, and accompaniments that were both visually appealing and delicious. It's an ideal choice for sharing! We also tried the warm, soft pretzels, which came with dipping sauces that added just the right touch of flavor. And of course, the panoramic city views were absolutely breathtaking, especially as the sun started to set over the skyline. Knopps has nailed the balance between a great menu, laid-back vibe, and stunning scenery.

    Talk about a hidden gem! Knoop has changed quite a bit since they first opened, but it's such a cool, vibey spot. Located on the 8th floor of the Canopy by Hilton hotel, it boasts a "rooftop bar" which is more like an outdoor patio, but I'll take it. The decor and theme is Scandinavian and modern which is unique and fun. The menu is quite a bit different and unfortunately they got rid of the bluegill which I really loved. However, they have a nice selection of delicious-sounding plates. My review is focused on their new Sunday brunch, which just started on May 21, 2023. I believe it's going to be every third Sunday (previously they weren't open on Sundays). I highly recommend reservations as the space isn't huge. They advertised the brunch as a buffet for $25 and a $10 cover charge, which would get you a drink. I'm not really sure why they wouldn't just say $35 per person which includes a drink, but either way, I think it's a great price. We opted for outdoor seating which was really lovely. You can get either a mimosa or a bloody Mary for your included drink option. The buffet had a nice spread of mostly savory items including frittata, hashbrown casserole, bacon, biscuits and gravy, shrimp and grits bites, hot honey chicken, peaches and cream parfait, and fried bread pudding. Everything was really good and I definitely ate my money's worth! DJ AB was playing some awesome music which gave it a bit of a party vibe. I'd definitely come back for this brunch, especially with a group. I also need to try out their dinner menu - the champagne dip & caviar dreams is calling my name!

    Came here with my coworker for dinner during a business trip. Staff here were very friendly and attentive; Nice view and vibe with the roof top; Food was very good and in good portions. Definitely recommend :)

    Maybe 3.5 stars, but because of a slight edge in ambiance, we'll round it up to 4 stars. This place has a rooftop restaurant/bar vibe in Downtown Grand Rapids. The space is half-outdoors/half-indoors, thought the doors separating the areas was wide open so you sort of got that outside vibe if you're not seated outdoors. The menu had some fun puns and names for entrees, but it felt like things were a bit pricier than what you got for them. Not that it tasted bad, but I was just expecting a little bit more considering the price tags. The drinks weren't your usual run-of-the-mill fare, and I think they were worth their eleveated cost compared to the food. Overall, come here for the ambiance and decent but (in my opinion) slightly overpriced food. In the future, I could see myself coming here just for drinks and maybe going out somewhere else to eat for dinner beforehand.

    Okayyyyyy I might be out of the Knoop-loop, but I had no idea it was Dutch inspired! The wall of delft plates made me think of my Grandma and gave me all kinds of nostalgia I'm sure that's not what the draw is for most people- so let's talk about the view! It was SNOWIN yesterday, but we had a great view of the city from our cozy table indoors! Besides the view, this cocktails are also Knoop's main selling point! We tried a few of their seasonal cocktails, including the Basic Witch, Apparently Pears, O Pecan Kenobi, and the Ji-Ji-Jitterbug! They were delicious, and, as you can see from the photos, beautiful! For food, we ordered the Knoop Pretzel, the Wagyu Sliders, and the Korean Fried Chicken Bao. The pretzel was fluffy and delicious (and the beer cheese was great!). I loved the fried chicken bao, and the Wagyu sliders were pretty tasty as well! (Although they were even better when we put some barbecue sauce on them IMO!) I can't wait to come back here in the summer and hang out on the patio!

    SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 4 DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 4 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.71 A good friend was visiting so I made a reservation at Knoop because i heard the view was good and the drinks were great. The reservations fill up very quickly so if you want a specific day don't wait till last minute to make a reservation. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and seated at an outdoor patio table. The restaurant is a little smaller and more intimate, but the open concept makes it look much larger. Such a beautiful space with modern and chic decor. We went for drinks, but wound up getting a ham and cheese board. The ham and cheese was very good but it was kind of just placed on the plate with what looked like little effort. Plate presentation is part of the art to food serving and separates an individual From an experience to just a meal. Their food menu is a mid size German inspired menu. Our server was very lively, and we really enjoyed her. We wound up staying for multiple drinks because of her wonderful recommendations. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and really was the highlight of our evening. Beautiful space with amazing drinks. A must go for anyone looking to host friends or family from out of town who love a masterful cocktail. We didn't try an actual meal but they definitely had some unique items that looked tasty.

    The view, service and adult beverages are amazing. Definitely pricey, but I'm not surprised by this or deterred.

    This place has blown me away both times that I've been there. The service is really good, and all of their staff treats the customers like they are important. Most, but not all of the drinks that I have had were really really good. All of the food that I've had was excellent, but I have to say that the pretzel flight is definitely the thing that I would recommend the most. If you can get a seat out on the balcony that's definitely in the place to be oh, because the views are really good and it's really comfortable. But honestly there isn't a bad seat in the whole place. The decor is really cool, and makes you feel like you're in a sweet-ass spot.

What really stood out was the bartending -- not just the skill, but the passion. After hearing the bartender's take on the Old Fashioned, I let him make it his way -- and it might be one of the best I've had. Balanced, bold, and beautifully smooth. Two of my friends described what they were in the mood for, and the bartender crafted custom cocktails for each of them -- both drinks were spot on and had them raving the rest of the night. If you're in Grand Rapids and want a cocktail experience that goes beyond the ordinary, SidebarGR is a must.

To find the entrance, go down the stairs towards Big O's Pizza and instead of turning right, take a left and you will see Sidebar's subtle entrance. It's dim lit and quite cozy in there. Limited seating and some spots at the bar were open and we took a seat up there. We did notice to the right of the bar there is a small additional area with more seating but still not a lot. I really enjoyed the espresso martini from here. The drink was so smooth and had the perfect balance of flavors. Highly recommend. We only stayed for one drink but I would definitely come back for another sometime. The bartenders were also really kind and having a good time with everyone in there! Really loved the atmosphere and our experience while we were there.

FOOD: I went with an olive burger with be try fresh and real ingredients. The burger itself was full of flavor; add the rest of it and it was phenomenal.
