We went up to the bar right as it opened and had the room to ourselves for the first half of our visit! The drinks were interested and there were many options I wanted to try! I wouldn't recommend a bite to eat as we had better food in other places and the price did not match the quality!

Just a couple short flight of stairs until you're in the cupola with great views. The space is airy and bright, and service was on point. Drinks are Grand Hotel priced ($20+) but worth it for the experience and views. I got the Somewhere in Thyme cocktail, because I had to. It was refreshing but not very strong. We also ordered the whitefish dip to share, which was one of the best whitefish dips I've had. It wasn't super smoky, so it might be more palatable to people who haven't had it before. I loved the addition of the giardiniera. Overall a very lovely experience. Do I need to go back, no, but I'm glad we got to check it out.

Be sure to clarify options when ordering because our waitress didn't seem to care to. Order an entree with choice of potatoes. "What are my choices?". "Baked, sweet potato fries, French fries.".

If you're offering choices and some of the choices involve an upcharge, your should definitely disclose that. Otherwise service was great and the food was decent.

I was not in the mood for a food challenge, I ordered a patty melt. It was juicy, pressed with grilled onions, cheese, and marbled rye. The fries were just OK.

We could've probably done without the hush puppies, but it was a nice taste. If it wasn't so darn hot the day we went, we would've sat outside. The patio overlooks the lake, and you can watch the ducks. It's a small quaint bar with food that doesn't disappoint.

The gentleman at the counter knew we were new so he took the time to explain the beer "self service" situation and how that the QR codes were on the table for both beer and food. It was great to just flash that bracelet and get the tasting of whatever beverage you wanted to try. I've heard about these before, but never tried it firsthand. I really think it was convenient to just try a little bit of this and a little bit of that - no wait for staff. We ordered some wings and pulled popper bread, both were delicious. We are excited to stop back again next Thursday and bring some friends along to share the experience with them as well. Thanks also to the guy working over in the coffee counter as he helped us with a to-go box and plasticware. We were real rookies, but we won't be next time. Great staff and see you all soon

Self serve beer/cider - really cool concept....you pick the size glass you want (4oz, 8oz, or 12oz) then pick the cider/beer/seltzer you want, then swipe your bracelet to that machine and it pours it and charges you only for the amount you poured.

I would rate this place right up there with places in Grand Rapids I go to for drinks. The MDRD at the top of Amway or the high end bar at the Marriott along with a couple other cocktail lounges I frequent. Yet the prices here are 20-30 % cheaper. For a small town this place is incredible. The main guy I always see behind the counter is simply fantastic at his job. Always well dressed. The other workers are also great. I have been here several times on my way to my parents once or twice a month. I'm selective at using my time to leave great reviews. But I really want this place to stick around. So here we are. Even when it's busy, you don't have the same type of loud drunks you will find at the regular bars in the area. It's loud but balanced. And that's because I'm writing this on the Saturday this town is celebrating St Patrick's Day. And it's the most packed I have ever seen it. Yet still nice and jubilant.

The bartenders were so kind and polite, and I really enjoyed my aperol spritz. Nate got a negroni, which featured a branded ice cube as well as a branded orange peel - I don't think I'd ever seen a customized orange peel before. The drinks are pricey ($20+) but worth it. We relaxed in the cozy lounge area before dinner. I asked the bartender if I could take the fabric coaster, and she gave me three brand new ones as well as a couple of the branded swizzle sticks. So nice!
