I've visited the Broadway Bar a few times, and although the food is decent, I tend to get a "Ye're…read morenot welcome here, stranger" vibe. I visited a few days ago for lunch when I was out and about and decided to get a burger, since I've been on kind of a burger kick lately. Upon entering, I was greeted coolly by the staff and I sat at a table. Yes, they have the "look at our friendly Christmas decorations" (and also St. Paddy's Day) thing, but it's clear they have a regular clientele and if you're not in that group, you are considered a second-class citizen. After I sat down and ordered, about 6 other folks walked in and sat at the bar. They all seemed to know each other and the staff, calling them by name. Each of them ordered and got their meal before I did, although I had ordered at least 15 minutes before any of them entered. The waitress chatted up the guys at the bar, but didn't say more than 2 words to me. My 'Broadway Burger' was good, but nothing spectacular. I've had the Olive Burger before and I think I prefer that. This place is probably great for the regulars, but you're not one of that crowd, it's definitely not worth the 'Children of the Corn' treatment.

I was visiting Grand Rapids to attend a concert the night before visiting The Derby. I was about to head home back to Dearborn but decided I wanted to stop for a shot and a beer before ending my weekend. I was out and about hitting up thrift shops and saw this bar was nearby. We were immediately welcomed upon taking a seat at the bar. We ordered our drinks and they came up quick. A big football game was about to start, so the place filled up not long after we got there. We were never given a food menu, but we saw an ad for hot dogs on the wall. They also had a bunch of snack food available. We noticed Keno, a pool table and a few gambling entertainment machines. There's a lot more to this space than the initial bar area you see when you walk in. Bathrooms were clean, the bill was cheap and the company was great. I'd definitely stop into The Derby again.

The owner (who is typically behind the bar) almost always strikes up a conversation, and I've never left without meeting someone new! It's cash only, which although slightly inconvenient, really adds to the vibe. (I believe they have an ATM but don't quote me). They have some packaged snacks, like bags of chips or pretzels, but no other food. It's the perfect place to stop in, grab a beer, and go back in time for a little while!
