All Brewery Restaurants

Vivant Brewery & Spirits

Vivant occupies a former church on Cherry Street, and the duck nachos (reportedly the kitchen's most popular item) give you a reason to order beyond the beer. The smoked old fashioned gets singled out repeatedly, and the dog-friendly patio draws regulars back several times a year. Flights cover solid range, though a tap or two may be kicked on any given visit.

Adesanya Brewery

★ 4.9(191)· $$

The Cyser & Doughnuts mead is what gets people talking at this Grandville brewery, and the mead program is clearly the main draw. Food runs deeper than typical bar snacks: the Ham & Gouda Stuffed Pretzels and the Herbal Remedy sandwich both have fans, and the kitchen has pulled off a five-course tasting menu with optional mead pairings for $25. After-work regulars fill the place on weeknights.

Broad Leaf Brewery + Spirits, featuring Pickleball Social

★ 4.7(494)· $$

The tikka masala French fries with curry dipping sauce are the dish reviewers keep talking about, and the Seoul chicken sandwich runs a close second. The menu lands somewhere between bar food and fusion, with vegan options woven throughout and a cocktail list that includes non-alcoholic picks. Pickleball courts and arcade games fill out the back.

New Holland Brewing - Grand Rapids Brewpub (The Knickerbocker)

★ 4.4(1,674)· $$

Dragon's Milk, New Holland's barrel-aged stout, draws crowds to this sprawling Bridge Street brewpub. The food punches well above bar-food level: dry rub wings and a pot pie that reviewers keep coming back to. Reservations are worth making, especially on Friday nights when the place fills fast.

Founders Brewing Co

★ 4.3(2,888)· $

Founders calls itself the Mothership, and the taproom on Cesar Chavez backs that up. The brewery tour takes you on a catwalk above the production floor, with all available beers on tap to sample along the way. The chicken salad, chili, and wings get repeat mentions from the lunch crowd.

Harmony Brewing Company

★ 4.4(701)

Wood-fired thin crust is the draw at this East Hills brewery, housed in a converted fire station. The Pizza Flight lets you sample six signature pies, and the Friend of the Devil (goat cheese, building heat) is the one to watch. Summer patio is dog-friendly and gets busy.

The B.O.B.

★ 4.1(3,681)· $$

The B.O.B. packs multiple bars, Dr. Grins Comedy Club, and a summer patio into one Monroe Ave building, making it a reliable one-stop for a downtown night out. Drink prices run steep (two wells around $25) and service complaints are consistent across recent visits. Check your bill carefully: gratuity is frequently pre-added, especially at the comedy club, and the digital checkout doesn't always make it obvious.

Atwater Brewery in GR

★ 4.1(574)

The Vanilla Java Porter with Hazelnut has its own fan club, and the apple sauerkraut pierogies and giant pretzel hold their own on the food side. Happy hour runs early enough to catch at 6pm. Staff know the beer list cold and will steer you right.
