A Grand Rapids staple! We love the food, beer, and heated outdoor patio here in the winter. This is a great place to have dinner or just a few drinks.
This is one of our favorite spots for brunch! Get the breakfast empanadas - trust us. Though, they do lunch and dinner as well. A small plates restaurants you can't go wrong with any time of the day.
One of our favorite dinner spots! A modern gastropub with a meat-heavy menu of globally inspired fare, 100+ whiskeys & draft beer.
A tropical tiki oasis in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids!
One of the best-kept secrets in the Hotel District. A private, covered, year-round balcony bar with indoor and outdoor seating, and a panoramic view of the street below and the city above. This bar is located in the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, on the second floor. Ask the front desk to point you to the door! You must sign up with your name and email on their website to get the "secret pin" that lets you in the door. Great vibes and cocktails.

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is a 158-acre botanical garden, art museum, and outdoor sculpture park. Located about 15 minutes from downtown it is a great way to spend a few hours.
