      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids’ Best Hidden Bars and Speakeasies - Sidebar</image:title>
      <image:caption>80 Ottawa Ave NW, Downtown If you want the closest thing to a true speakeasy in Grand Rapids, start here. Sidebar sits behind Big O’s Pizza, and there is no sign telling you where to go. You’ll find a narrow passageway that opens into a small, windowless room with dim lighting, candles, and old records playing in the background. It feels like a scene from an old noir film. It opened in 2015 and has been a local favorite ever since. A recent expansion doubled its size, but it still only holds about 30 people, so it stays cozy. The cocktail menu is long and creative, and the bartenders know what they’re doing. Tell them what you usually like, and let them take it from there. Good to know: It’s small, so go early on weekends. It works great for a drink before or after dinner downtown.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids’ Best Hidden Bars and Speakeasies - IDC (I Don’t Care)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Amway Grand Plaza, Second Floor, Downtown This is the one you need a code for. IDC sits on a covered balcony on the second floor of the Amway Grand Plaza’s historic Pantlind wing, looking out over downtown. To get in, sign up on their website for the entry code, which changes regularly. Don’t expect a Roaring Twenties theme. IDC leans into the ’70s, with disco balls, retro music, and a fun, playful energy. The drinks are built for cold Michigan nights, like a coffee-infused Old Fashioned and a hot chocolate spiked with Chambord and topped with toasted marshmallows. Good to know: Get your code before you go. Showing up without one is a quick way to end up at the hotel lobby bar instead.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids’ Best Hidden Bars and Speakeasies - Lumber Baron Bar</image:title>
      <image:caption>Amway Grand Plaza, Downtown While you’re at the Amway, make a stop here too. Lumber Baron Bar is a nod to the late 1800s, when Grand Rapids was known as the furniture capital of the world and lumber barons built huge mansions all over town. The bar is designed to feel like one of those homes, with a fireplace, leather club chairs, and rich wood everywhere you look. It isn’t hidden behind a secret door, but it has the feel of an old private club. It’s quiet, classic, and a little fancy, in the best way. Good to know: This is the place for a slow drink by the fire, not a loud night out. It’s perfect for a date or catching up with a friend.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids’ Best Hidden Bars and Speakeasies - The Nightwatch Lounge</image:title>
      <image:caption>Plaza Towers, 201 Fulton St W, Downtown Look for the gold door. The Nightwatch Lounge is tucked inside the Plaza Towers building, and the entrance takes a minute to find. That’s part of the fun. The name comes from Rembrandt’s famous painting The Night Watch, and the space doubles as an art gallery, with original paintings hanging throughout. The drinks lean classic. Many of them are based on recipes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, including ones from a bartending book first published in 1862. Everything is done with real care and polish, from the glassware to the service. This is also the most exclusive spot on the list. Reservations are a must, there’s a dress code, and there has been a small per-person deposit to book. Good to know: Check their reservation rules before you go, and dress the part. This is a special-occasion spot.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids’ Best Hidden Bars and Speakeasies - Mo’s Cocktail Lounge</image:title>
      <image:caption>Below Mangiamo, 1033 Lake Dr SE, East Hills Mangiamo has been a Grand Rapids favorite for years, thanks to its gorgeous historic mansion on Lake Drive. What many people don’t know is that there’s a cocktail lounge underneath it. Mo’s lives in the mansion’s former wine cellar and has its own separate entrance around the back. It holds about 35 people, so it feels intimate and a little secretive. The drinks are fun and a bit retro. Good to know: This is an easy add-on to dinner at Mangiamo. Start upstairs for dinner, then head down for one more drink.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids’ Best Hidden Bars and Speakeasies - Buffalo Traders Lounge</image:title>
      <image:caption>950 Fulton St E, East Hills Buffalo Traders isn’t hidden, but step inside and you’ll understand why it always makes these lists. Think deep turquoise walls, velvet and leather seating, Art Deco details, and yes, shag carpet on the ceiling above the bar. It’s dark, moody, and a little bit ’70s, all at once. The menu focuses on Prohibition-era and pre-Prohibition cocktails, so this is the place for a well-made classic. Locals rave about the Last Word and the Aviation. Good to know: Seating is limited, so if it’s full, you may need to wait for a spot to open up.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids’ Best Hidden Bars and Speakeasies - Drip Drop Cocktail Room</image:title>
      <image:caption>445 Bridge St NW, West Side Bridge Street can get loud on a weekend night. Drip Drop is where you go when you want a break from all that. It’s candlelit and colorful, with a calm, date-night feel that stands out from the busier bars around it. The cocktails are playful and creative, and they look as good as they taste. Good to know: It’s a great first stop before dinner on Bridge Street, or a quiet way to end the night.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids’ Best Hidden Bars and Speakeasies - SpeakEZ Lounge</image:title>
      <image:caption>600 Monroe Ave NW, Grand Rapids SpeakEZ is the speakeasy for people who don’t want to hunt for a door. There’s no password and no secret entrance. Instead, you get a laid-back spot with a nod to the Prohibition era, a solid cocktail menu, and plenty of craft beer. It’s also known for showing European soccer matches and for its weekend brunch. Good to know: This is the most relaxed spot on the list. Come as you are.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Rooftop greenhouses, a stunning banquet room, and a versatile streetside room make this one of the more distinctive venues downtown. The rooftop space in particular gives you natural light and lush greenery during the day and skyline views once the sun goes down, so it photographs beautifully no matter what time your event runs. It's a great pick if you want something that feels fresh and a little unexpected compared to a traditional ballroom. Clean lines, great natural light, and a layout flexible enough to handle both an intimate dinner and a larger reception without feeling cramped or cavernous.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Right in the heart of Studio Park, One Twenty Three brings a shaded, dog-friendly patio to downtown Grand Rapids. Reviewers consistently call out the hip, industrial-chic space and the attentive, knowledgeable service, along with a menu that puts a fresh spin on classic American dishes. The smash burger and California garlic fries come up again and again as guest favorites, along with the pierogi and mahi tacos. The patio itself has become a destination in its own right, with heated tents and greenhouse-style structures that keep it going well past a typical Michigan patio season. It is the kind of spot where a cold drink outside just makes sense before catching a movie or a show nearby.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids' Best Patios - The Søvengård — 1232 Bridge St NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504</image:title>
      <image:caption>This one is for the biergarten lovers. The Søvengård's outdoor terrace on Bridge Street pairs Scandinavian-inspired, farm-to-table plates with a genuinely fun outdoor atmosphere, and reviewers are quick to point out that it is worth seeking out even though it sits a little outside the typical downtown restaurant strip. Guests often mention the peacefully idyllic feel of the space, the seasonal menu that changes with what is fresh, and standout dishes like the duck breast, whitefish, and heirloom tomato sandwich. The biergarten itself, with its communal tables, umbrellas, and string lights, is consistently named as one of the most unique outdoor settings in Grand Rapids. It is a little different than your typical GR patio, and that is exactly why it is worth the trip.</image:caption>

Rose's sits directly on Reeds Lake in East Grand Rapids, with a patio and four season deck that looks out over sailboats, the yacht club, and Waterfront Park. Locals and visitors alike consistently rave about the lakeside views, the historic charm of the building, and the caramel corn that arrives with every check as a little parting gift. Standouts on the menu include the pecan crusted whitefish, Rose's chicken salad, and the crab cakes, alongside a wine and cocktail list that gets just as much love in reviews. Readers of Grand Rapids Magazine have even voted it the best deck seating in the region, and it is easy to understand why once you are seated lakeside with a warm breeze coming off the water.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Tucked into Eastown, Terra GR has one of the most talked about patios in the city, and it is easy to see why once you are seated under the awning with a wood-fired pizza in front of you. Reviewers frequently describe it as an epic happy hour destination, with half off apps and wood-fired pizzas Monday through Friday from 4 to 6pm, and the farm-to-table menu leans hard into local, seasonal ingredients from Michigan farms. Guests often highlight the gnocchi with short rib, the seared salmon, and the margherita pizza, alongside consistently praised service. The sun-soaked patio has been called some of the best seating in the house, making it an easy spot for people watching on a warm Eastown night.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids' Best Patios - Gin Gin's — 345 Summer Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504</image:title>
      <image:caption>On the west side, Gin Gin's pairs premium steaks and handmade pasta with a whimsical outdoor courtyard that feels like its own little escape. Reviewers regularly praise the stylish, moody interior with its leather booths and sapele wood paneling, and just as often mention the outdoor patio as one of the prettiest in Grand Rapids when it is open. The Wagyu meatballs, seared scallops, and handcrafted martinis come up again and again as favorites, alongside consistently attentive, detail-oriented service. It is a great pick for date night or a celebration with friends, especially with a well-made cocktail in hand and a table outside.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grand Rapids' Best Patios - The Score Restaurant &amp; Sports Bar — 5301 Northland Dr NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you want your patio with a little more energy, The Score is the spot. Come summer, the outdoor space transforms into a full beach setup, complete with real sand, palm trees, tiki torches, and live music, giving it a Key West feel that reviewers consistently say makes you forget you are still in Grand Rapids. With over 110 beers on tap and more than 70 HD TVs, it is a favorite for catching a game, and guests regularly call out the brisket sandwich, the smoked wings, and the burger as menu highlights. Between the beach volleyball courts, the live bands, and the tiki bar vibe, reviewers describe it as its own little world tucked behind a sports bar, and the kind of place that turns any summer evening into a party.</image:caption>
