One of my favorite places to hang out in the downtown Grand Rapids area, I've been plenty of times casually and for events (KBS Week, Firkin Freeze, etc.) and I've always had a great experience. Beer is delicious, food window is great. Two bars to chose from, the small one to the side usually has less of a line. The taproom is large and has plenty of seating and standing room, especially if including the outdoor area. If you dress for the weather you can even be out there in colder months surrounded by the heat lamps and fire pits. It can get crowded on weekends and evenings with live music, so if you're looking to enjoy a beer and a bite lunch time during the week or on a weekend might be the better bet to guarantee a sit down table.
