For some reason the thought to go to Holiday Bar does not come up often when we decide where to…read moreeat. Every time we go there, I wonder, "why not". I've never had anything here but excellent food and service. I've grown addicted to their French Dip sandwich which is about as good as I've had anywhere. The bread is substantial enough to hold the copious amounts of au jus I dip it in without falling apart. Yet, it is not too heavy to overshadow the meat. I order this just about every time I go here. This time however, they had Korean fried chicken tacos as a special. My wife made me order it because she knows if I didn't, I'd be complaining all the way home. This item should become a regular. Wonderfully flavored chicken with Korean sauces and spices and vegetables in a usual taco set up, My wife became enamored with the Mediterranean salad which she says is the closest thing she's been able to find that resembles what she craves from Greece and Italy. She added chicken which was a generous portion so I sampled some and it was excellent. While waiting for lunch to arrive, I looked at the drink menu, specifically bourbons. Holiday has a impressive list and I was surprised to find even the hard to get, allocated bourbons were in stock and "reasonably" priced. We really have to put this restaurant much higher up in our thought process.

I wish there were more stars! Visiting my daughter in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We were doing a…read morelittle pub crawl. She told me we needed to stop here.

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.

This place is AWESOME! we went there for the world cup and they had great watch parties with good…read morefood and cheap drinks! what more could you ask for! Also awesome to find a place still open for the late game that would let my minor child in. The only knock I have on this place is the waitress kept giving me, not cold coors light. I drank 2 and finally asked her to give me a cold one and she waited like 5 minutes and the outside bottle was cold but the beer inside was still warm. Almost like they just took it out of the box and thought icing it for 5 minutes would work. When I told her I didn't want it and got a different kind of beer, she tried to charge me for the one I refused. Other than that, great place!

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.

Pickwick Tavern is by far my favorite bar in GR. It's a dive bar to the max, and has the old-school…read morebar feel. 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!
