The comforts of a friendly, small-town atmosphere combined with the pleasures of big city life make Grand Rapids an ideal choice for a fun getaway with a host of indoor and outdoor activities. Once known as the furniture capital of the world, the city has a reinvigorated downtown area and a thriving arts and cultural community. Its most popular attraction is the museum dedicated to native son Gerald R. Ford, 38th U.S. President, where interactive exhibits take you to the White House and the 1976 Republican National Convention. Wander through the state's largest tropical conservatory at the Frederik Meijer Gardens, a magical wonderland of gardens, woodlands and over 100 bronze statues by famous artists, including the 24-foot bronze horse designed by Leonardo da Vinci. More outdoor fun is a half-hour away at the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. Golf lovers have plenty of places to hit the greens since Grand Rapids has more privately owned, daily-fee, public courses than any other U.S. city. Wind up your busy weekend with a cold beer at the Hair of the Frog Brewery or the Grand Rapids Brewing Company.

This is how to do it. Local feel, amazing food, really great beer. Love the baseball decor but it's not a tacky sports-bar. The pizza, like the beer is fresh, tasty and balanced. Nothing TOO extreme but done extremely well. Service was amazing - outdoor area was large and the fire-pits were a nice touch. The mango beer and the peanuts and crackerjack made me very much when I can get back to this place. Well conceived and properly executed. A gem. Very accommodating to my kids as well. The service was also spot on but I'm a little sad the servers don't slide down the fire-pole to bring your purchases (kidding).

Cool funky vibe. Pinball machines line the front for a spot of fun. They have quirky t-shirts for sale in quite a wide variety of designs. I attended the Tom Petty Tribute Band (The Insiders) concert which was held in a room in the back. Seating is around the stage/dance area which is fairly large. The drinks are strong, the staff is efficient and the band is phenomenal!
