Host Stand for chick in
Jane N.

A beautiful and delicious option in Ada! Reservations recommended or can try the bar seating. Host stand is near the back hotel entrance by the end of the bar. The Mediterranean Bowl with Salmon was perfectly cooked. I could just sit at the bar and drink the coffee :) I went to the restroom and came back to my coffee gone. The host noticed something was off and immediately offered to get me a new coffee. Thank you for the great service!

What a beautiful spot! The Post Tavern is located inside of The Ada Hotel on the first floor. I made a reservation on Opentable and we arrived around 4pm. It wasn't terribly busy but being our first time I'm glad I had a reservation. The drink menu was impressive and I enjoyed The Dirty Grand. For an appetizer we ordered the Deviled eggs. They were creamy and well balanced! We gobbled these down a little too fast. For entrees, my bf ordered the open faced chicken club which he really enjoyed. If anything, the portion was so huge he was not sure where to start but he said it was really good. I ordered the Tavern burger and loved the burger sauce and cheese ratio. Very juicy and flavorful. The handcut fries that came with both are meals were splendid. Perfect amount of salt and loved that we had plenty of ketchup. Our server was very kind and attentive! Everyone else working here seemed very kind. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to come back again soon!

Food was amazing, we got a variety of things to try but if you want like an upscale of takeout this is where to go. It had a great ambience and the staff were super helpful and kind. Definitely recommend the kids Mac N cheese it was 1000/10. Great place to go for a girls night, or to celebrate a loved one's birthday.

We were finally able to grab a reservation for dinner at The Post Tavern! This is the restaurant on the street level of The Ada Hotel. The lobby was an absolute madhouse because of some high school dances and everyone using the new space for pictures and dinner. We made our way through the crowd to find the hostess stand and she immediately sat us. Our service was very friendly and professional through our entire meal. The menu is rather small but the portions are large and we really enjoyed each dish we ordered. We started with the beer cheese dip that comes with large potato wedges. This was delicious and unlike any other beer cheese dip I have had. We then shared the Ahi Tuna and Fish and Chips. The wasabi mashed potatoes were delicious and the ahi tuna was the size of a small steak. The fish and chips were cooked perfectly and the fries were crispy. We ended our meal with the NY Cheesecake which was a seasonal red velvet. Overall, great modern atmosphere that feels more like a high end bar in a big city than Ada. The prices seemed fair, portions were large, dining room was spotless, and the service was friendly. Make sure you make a reservation!

Food was exceptional. Had two beautiful glasses of wine. I love the kitchen is open late enough for those that work till 8 most nights. Our bartender was amazing. Very helpful and attentive. She also made us some great tequila apricot shots that I need as a drink one day. Those whipped potatoes with the mushroom cream sauce and the Delmonico was so good. Thank you for a great Monday night!

portabella mushroom valentine's day special
Delanie M.

my partner made a reservation for us to get drinks - we're vegan and there didn't seem to be too many options for us on the regular menu. to our surprise though, the valentine's day special menu did have some vegan options. they had 4 mocktail options and a few NA beer cans. the mocktails had NA spirits in them which was cool. for food we got the roasted cauliflower which was served in a yogurt sauce with raisins. i liked the flavor of the yogurt sauce. the raisins and chives complemented the other flavors well. the dish did really need some salt though and it was pretty cold when we got it. from the valentine's special menu, we ordered the grilled portabella mushrooms served over a carrot puree with brussel sprouts and chimichuri. the mushrooms were so good. they were perfectly flavored and to my surprise i really enjoyed the carrot puree as well. the mushrooms were definitely the star of this meal. for dessert, we had a vegan chocolate mouse served with chocolate covered strawberries from the special menu - a vegan dessert option always impresses me. our server was very nice and i enjoyed the overall vibe of the space. will we be back? most likely no. the regular menu only had one vegan dish (the cauliflower). i'd love to see at least one vegan entree on the regular menu.

Birthday gift. Thank you.

I don't offer 5 stars often, but the Ada Hotel/Post Tavern gets one here. The restaurant on the main floor has a nice feel. Relaxed. Comfortable. The feel of the restaurant was perfect. 80% filled the night we were here. Nice balance of privacy and a hopping restaurant. Staff was excellent. Answered questions. Attentive. Accommodating. Checked with kitchen on a few items. Even answered questions on the limited wine list. The meal was excellent. Steak, lobster, burger all perfect. We'd come back for each of these entrees. Nice work kitchen. Area of improvement? Wine list. While we appreciate all 3900 whiskey options, it would be nice if there was more than one cabernet sauvignon offerings. Let's add to that dry red list! A bit disappointing to order a ribeye and only have one red dry on the listl Next visit we might try to space on the 3rd floor. Another neat option. Different menu and a special view with a patio option. I highly recommend the Ada Hotel for a meal or drink. We look forward to another visit.

Fish and chips
Sarah S.

We had a great Friday night dinner. Great cocktail menu. Highly rate the gin blossom, Irish coffee!, and espresso martini. We really enjoyed the chowder and roasted cauliflower starters. The chowder was a server reco and very good (and I'm not a big chowder person). Fish and chips were tasty-walleye and fries with a good tarter aioli and slaw. My husband enjoy his lobster roll. Highly enjoyed our server and didn't rush us. Greet atmosphere. We'll be back for dinner and/or happy hour time.

Crispy chicken sandwich with House Fries.
Rami H.

Phenomenal food and an outstanding atmosphere. I would totally come back again. My server was very nice as well.

Smash burger
Jerry C.

Wonderful service, walleye was delicious, as the smash burger and fries. Be sure to order the smoked trout soup!

Lemon chicken
Holly B.

What a great experience, a combination of comfort and hip at the same time. We had the recommended dishes/ shepherds pie, fish and chips and the lemon chicken. Everyone loved their meals. I orders the chicken since it was gf. To be honest, I want really looking forward to it, as u was expecting same ol' same ol'. I was wrong! I don't know if it was curry but the flavor was so, so good. I can't wait to go back!

Absolutely loved our experience at SidebarGR -- hands down the best speakeasy in Grand Rapids! From…read morethe moment you step in, you're transported to a cozy, classy hideaway that feels both exclusive and inviting. 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. Expert mixology, great atmosphere, and personalized service that makes you feel like a regular -- even on your first visit.

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.

It was fairly quiet but the staff was friendly and the vibes inside were so filled with holiday cheer! I love how they decorate the space and you can purchase little things to go and just enjoy time with your friends, whether it's for a fancy girls night or just having a chill night out. Whatever your vibe is, Pursuit of Happiness is a wonderful woman owned business that I love to support! It's kind of tucked away from the bustle of the street, but you can easily find some off street parking around the corner in a lot or find some street parking pretty easily, which is really nice. I always forget this place is here but I always enjoy it when I come back! I need to keep it in my rotation and come back more often! The vibes are just too good.

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.

Bar seating is first come first served so I went right after work and got there about 4:45. There were a ton of seats open at the bar. A friend met me at 5pm. We were seated with Fin, the bartender. He was awesome- very attentive but not overbearing. I could tell when he was coming by to peek in on us but he never interrupted our conversation. He would glance over and check our drinks and pause, and then keep moving. I'm sure if I was alone he would've provided me with some banter, he seems nice enough. He recommended a cocktail - The Last Word. I've had one before and this one did not disappoint. The other drinks I had were the espresso martini and the New York sour- both favorites of mine and done very well by Fin. I love that this bar uses frosty glasses for their cocktails. It's a nice touch. I had to have the Wagyu meatballs. They're mentioned in many reviews and people at work agreed they're a must have. My friend wasn't very hungry so I ate 5 out of the 6 haha. The bread that comes w it is a focaccia that is his divine! I thought it was deep fried but it's just soaked in oil and then heated on the griddle. The meatballs are Wagyu 75/25 so kinda fatty but so smooth. They are served with a marinara sauce and ricotta. So good. Would get this again. The menu looks awesome but we were just there for drinks and snacks. Next time I'll make a reservation (Resy) and have dinner. Parking is typically awful. No valet. Bathrooms are multi sex unistalls, clean. The restaurant is noisy- maybe not a great first date spot. Seemed to be a lot of well to do people in the restaurant, based on the outfits and accessories I saw. Might be a place to meet someone new if it wasn't so loud and incredibly busy. It's hard to get a table during dinner hours especially if the weather is perfect. But try your best to get in. They do take walk ins and it's worth an hour wait.

I think they forgot the "b" in the name…read more Since we live in Ada, we were understandably excited to have another potentially good place open nearby. We visited not long after they went live in 2021. It was busy inside and the service was understandably slow. I got the "Homemade Chili", which was apparently made in a condemned home because it was barely room-temperature. I sent it back and had to press my case to get that bacterial culture of a dish taken off the bill. My "Garage Burger" had a bun that was so stale, it clanked when I hit it against my plate. My beleaguered waitress stared at me when I did this and asked, comically, "do you want a new bun?" Why yes, yes I do - preferably one that can't be sharpened into a prison shank, my dear. As the volume in the place progressively increased, I watched another family with younger kids struggle with similar food issues. The dad at that table looked at me knowingly with something akin to PTSD in his eyes and then he abruptly plunked down some cash and gathered his family up and walked out. I paid with a credit card, so it took me a bit longer, but we all left without finishing our meals. I'm not going to say that the food here is a crime against humanity, but I'm going to think it really hard.

Drink specials were good (2 Busch light drafts and $4 wells). My husband and I split the Italian sub which was pretty tasty, but it could've used more meat, especially for $17.
