But, they do have little snackies to get! A lot of their spritz's are made with their own bubbles. If you enjoy it, you can purchase the full bottles to go! The service was great. They checked on us at the perfect cadence. Our favorites were the passion spritz and french martini!

The cherry spritz, mama I dream of it still . My only qualm is that I am a stickler for good glassware ~ I would like to see the beverages with a stem. And based on the aesthetic I know the owner could find some classic glassware. We need more places like this in GR, and I need more POH in my LIFE.

I recommended this distillery to my 2 good friends and was excited to come back, but unfortunately…read morethis visit was pretty disappointing. One of my friends and I ordered the Gentle Tussle cocktail, which came with rose petals. While it looked beautiful, we found it very difficult to drink and didn't enjoy the flavor. I understand that cocktails can be a matter of personal taste though so others may feel differently. For my meal, I ordered the brick chicken which is a grilled chicken thigh with potatoes and green beans. The chicken was a little underseasoned and undercooked, the potatoes were unfortunately not fully cooked either, and the green beans had a flavor that seemed off. Overall, I had a very poor experience with the food this time around. The highlight of the evening was our server, who was friendly, attentive, and did a great job throughout our visit. He recommended the cocktail, and while it wasn't for me, I appreciated his service and hospitality. I'm hoping this was just an off night because the server did tell me that the day I went was the first day with their new menu. I'd be willing to give it another try in the future, but I left feeling pretty disappointed this time around.

I ordered a specialty seasonal latte - rose cardamom cinnamon, hot, with oat milk. I'm not sure if it comes with 1 or 2 shots of espresso and I forgot to ask. It was really nice! I liked that it wasn't too sweet; it was fairly fragrant, too. The owner was sweet and the interior is fairly specious, and very clean. It seems like a nice place to get work done. There's a small menu for food options (toasts, a few sandwiches, etc). My drink came out to be $7.69 total.

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.

The space is small, but didn't feel super tiny as the natural light and windows definitely helped that. My partner and I decided to swing by for a quick drink and there are a handful of specialty drinks that are available. They can be a little too fancy for me, so I asked for a recommendation and he was more than happy to provide us something! The drinks were definitely delicious and not a terrible price point for a cocktail bar. We even got a free drink "ticket" to come back and I can't wait to check out more. Maybe even try a couple of their bites.

So the $40 pitcher special was intriguing. The vibes were so good, the bartender had lovely recommendations and the couch by the window was a perfect touch. I said to myself "it's nice to have a drink right on division." Can't wait to try more cocktails here in the future!

The bar wasn't full yet, but there were a lot of drinks being ordered. I had never been here in its previous iteration - The Dark Room. Per my Mr the decor hasn't changed much. I found it to be cozy and intimate. I liked the vibe. The cocktail menu was really creative and I like the bows on the stems of the glasses. The drink options had a couple original creations - at least to us. He had The Ashtray - probably the best presentation for a cocktail we've seen in a long time. I had the Mo's Mojo and it was served in a stem glass with a bow! Both cocktails were delicious and we were very pleased with orders. Lela was friendly and did a great job - especially considering how busy she was. We will absolutely come back!

The atmosphere they've created is cute, welcoming, and very family friendly. One of the servers argued about giving us a wrong sample, but a different staff member agreed and gave us the correct one.

After living here for almost 4 years I was very surprised to just now be hearing about this amazing…read moreplace. As I was reading the Michigan BrewTrail magazine I ran across their advertisement page, and was confused that it had a Grand Rapids address so It prompted me to do a little research. After a deep dive I found out that they are a farm/farmers market and a restaurant, cider/winery. If you Yelp search you won't find their restaurant, cider/winery because it pops up as Ed Dunneback and Girls Farm Market. This new Pink Barrel Cellars page should help separate this from just a farmers market, and help highlight some of their amazing food and drink. I went on their last day of live music according to their online schedule. When I showed up the parking lot was full and there was well over 100 people there. If you go inside you will immediately notice that this place is so much more than a farmers market. In the back they have a bar serving some amazing ales, seltzers, stouts, ciders, and wine by the glass. In the middle they have fresh donuts, wine by the bottle, fresh fruits and vegetables for sale. Near the front they have a food stand. All the employees were spectacular and very informative. I had many questions, and they were all very Knowledgeable. Found out they have a few beers that have won national beer awards. For lunch I wound up ordering the pretzel with beer cheese, and ordered a honeycrisp ale. The shareable size of the menu isn't joking. It's very large and you're gonna want to share. I was so full after my pretzel that I couldn't even think about a second beer. The beer cheese was the BEST beer cheese I've ever eaten in my life. It was out of this world. The beer was also pretty spectacular. The beer was so good that I couldn't resist the urge to buy some wine by the bottle with the hopes it was just as good. I enjoyed everything at their outdoor seating while listening to live music. If I had gone with someone I definitely would of taken advantage of cornhole and drank wine by the glass. After eating I couldn't resist walking around the farm that had a ton of people running and smiling. In the back I observed the piggies, Eddie and Joe, napping. Also got to say hi to their pony's and goats . I walked through the orchard, and also the pick your own pumpkin patch. They have a huge slidefor the kids, and a playground. Highly recommend following this place on social media to stay up to date on menu changes, and event updates. Such an eventful Sunday afternoon. Definitely worth the visit.

The fact I could get a marg for $10 that was decent? Sign me up! You have to order everything at the bar, and you can also reserve spots, but we didn't have any issues and everyone was super friendly! I love that they turned this space into something that I feel like I'll frequent more often as I absolutely love the area. I think they even allow you to bring in some local food from next door, which is even better. There's a huge space in back that has a pool table and other fun games, and it shares a patio with Buffalo Traders next door. Such a gem that this area really needed!

The service was a tiny bit slow but we were not in a time crunch so it wasn't really a big deal. I had a glass of wine and my friend and I split an appetizer, a charcuterie board, and the Parisian sandwich. Their menu is seasonal but I think the sandwiches stay pretty consistently. Everything was really good and high quality. I especially loved the sandwich. Truly similar to the same sandwiches you can get everywhere in Paris. The charcuterie board was yummy with unique choices! Everything paired pretty well. I would definitely come back here to try more menu options and wine :)

I'm a big Squibb fan and it's great to see them utilizing this space to serve drinks, coffee, and small plates, as well as cheese to go and other fun items for sale in their market. It's a one stop shop for a perfect picnic! Nate and I stopped by on their first day open and ordered the Parisian, heirloom tomato and burrata, and the mini charcuterie board. If you liked Aperitivo, you'll love Sav Sav. Everything we ate was delicious, but we both loved the tomato and burrata small plate the most. It was bursting with flavor and was nicely balanced between savory and sweet. I also really loved the Parisian and want to try the other sandwich options. I'm excited to see how their concept evolves! The little market area is super cute and they have lots of tinned fish, cookbooks, wine, snacks, and more. This will be a go-to spot for me in the Downtown Market.
