It's next door to their sister restaurant, Lovejoy. Walking in, the space is very dimly lit with a nice bar and some cozy seating. We were directed to a couch and a couple of low chairs. The menu is organized into different "chapters," with different themes for each chapter. They also have beer, wine, spirit-free options, and a spirits list. I wanted something fun, so I chose the Don the Beachcomber, a rum-based tiki cocktail that is flamed tableside. My friend got the Obstacle No. 1, which is a bourbon drink that they smoke at your table. Very theatrical and fun! These drinks were $20+ so pretty pricey, but worth it for a fun occasion. We had a nice time just relaxing and catching up. I would say it's not a great spot for a large group, but definitely a fun date night place. They have a small food menu of offerings from the restaurant next door that sounded tasty. We had just eaten but I'd be interested in their small plates. I'm so glad I got to experience this place. It feels like you're transported to a secret speakeasy when you enter!

Did you know there is a speakeasy in Holland?…read more Right below Butch's Dry Dock downtown Holland you can find a small dim lit cocktail bar! You can go to their website to get on the email list for the password each week or you can go to the host stand at Butch's and ask if there is available seating "downstairs". The two times I've done this, the host always understands. They pick up the phone and call downstairs to see if there's any open spots and let us go down there. There are stairs or you can take the elevator to the basement level. After you've arrived downstairs you can find the door with the black lock symbol and KNOCK THREE TIMES. They will let you in and welcome you to find a seat. They have a water station where you can help yourself and some tables and a couch and bar seating. The menu is pretty fantastic. I haven't had a drink that I dislike yet! The prices are a bit elevated but that's okay for a fancy drink imo. Hope you check out this gem if you're ever in Holland and want to go on a little adventure to find this place! My only complaint is the basement area smells a little funky but inside the bar was fine. But otherwise it's totally amazing and worth the experience! The people working here are great too! So kind'

It's below Butch's Dry Dock downtown, and you either have to email them to ask for a password, or stop by Butch's host desk and ask for 'a table downstairs'. They give you instructions then. The five of us all tried something different, from cocktails with absinthe and flaming sugar cubes, to vodka infused fruity drinks, and even a simple red wine. Our bartender had been working here for a couple years, so he knew the specials and was quick with his work. A real mix of customers from a college student to a couple of workmates, our family, and another group of friends further back. It's a small place which makes it cozy but a little hard to get into at times; we had to wait 20 minutes for enough free seats. We'll be back; it was fun!

What an awful bar. Not even worth a single star…read more I moved here to west mich about 5 years ago. I've been to a lot of bars around the US and this is by far the worst one I've ever been to. So dirty, smells like a porta potty right when you walk in. All of the workers put me off in a bad way, I remember once they were closing down and the DJ just started blasting scream-o. Just feels like everyone hates you here. One of the last couple times I was here I threw up after one draft beer. They probably never clean their taps, or worse. If you come get a bottle of something and WATCH them open it at the bar. These workers at parrots are the types of people to roofie your drink as well, you think I'm kidding, ask around a little bit of people who have frequented here. No reason I should be over the toilet after one drink. It's astonishing that someone owns this sorry excuse of a bar and allows it to bring down holland and the surrounding area. Maybe they'll get closed down wouldn't that be a pleasant surprise. I'll be at Skiles!

I chose this restaurant because they had gluten free options. I had a 30- minute wait on a crowded…read moreSunday and was eventually sat at a table closest to the rear. Every time someone opened the door, I felt an icy blast of air on my back. My server was Kelly G, an incredible young lady who went out of her way to make me feel welcome. I had hoped for a gf pizza but she told me that due to cross contamination in the small kitchen, she couldn't guarantee that it would be gluten free. Just when I considered leaving the establishment, she suggested a risotto which she would personally tell the cooks to make it gluten free. The risotto tasted ok especially with Sriracha. Kelly then suggested the gf turtle torte which was amazing. If it hadn't been for Kelly going the extra mile for me, I would have had nothing for dinner that night because there simply aren't any gf options in Holland for dinner. I gave her a 25% tip because she was awesome. I hope the restaurant understands that it isn't enough to say that an entree is gluten free if it doesn't have wheat - it also shouldn't be cooked in the same contaminated pan or touched by hands that have handled other products.

The meat lacked the flavor I was hoping for, and the fries came out overcooked, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, the meal didn't really hit for me, especially given how highly it's talked about. I think my friend enjoyed her order. That said, it's possible I caught them at an off time, so I wouldn't completely write it off but based on this visit, it wasn't the experience I was expecting.

We ordered shots, Don Julio Repasado, took about 5 mins for her to return and let us know each shot would be $36 because "they pour double shots" we decided NOT to do that... could go buy a bottle for that. We got Don Julio Blanco, tasted like water with a splash of alcohol. We left after that. Seems like a fun place with dart boards but probably won't be returning.

Cozy tables and subdued lighting give a warm and comfy rustic vibe, but there are also plenty of screens to catch whatever game you hope to watch. That combo always works for me. Their spare ribs are out. of. this. world. Fall off the bone tender and seasoned for a delicious combo of salty, meaty, savory goodness. S&P's homemade barbecue sauce comes on the side, but you should try them naked before you add the sauce. I get downright weepy thinking about them. Served with mashed potatoes (mine were dry and needed more flavor) or waffle fries. Baked potatoes were not an option. Full bar with more than a dozen taps that rotate craft and mainstream brews. See the menu and order by draft number. And save room for the carrot cake. That's all I'll say. Reservations accepted and are a smart idea on weekends or holidays.
