Best WLM Reviews
The bartenders were great as were the live band. The only issue that we had was the guy sitting in front of the bathrooms at the end of the night. We were told that we couldn’t use the bathroom facilities and the guy said we should go pee in a back alleyway. The fact that the guy sitting in front of the bathrooms would rather have paying customers get a ticket for public indecency, than letting people use the bathroom for 5 minutes is insane.
Amazing little bar with a big dance floor! Always playing great music and the vibe is real. Service can be a little slow, but there is a lot of people! I love this gem
Arrived at 6:40 on a Friday night. My wife and I were the only ones in the entire place. We sat patiently for a few minutes one waitress came out in her cell phone. We were in no hurry, but after waiting for 15 minutes we we're never acknowledged and only received an occasional look from the waitress while she remained on the phone. It is too bad she had no desire to do her job. We obviously left without ever being talked to or served by anyone. Horrendous service if it stays open I'd be shocked.
10/10 bar. I’ve gone to almost every bar in GR but somehow always end up at this one because I genuinely just have the best time here. The staff is fantastic and do a great job of taking care of the place and it’s people. I’ve lost my keys and wallet here multiple times, and they always are returned and kept safely by the staff. The DJ is incredible (would highly recommend seeing him every Friday night!), and really knows how to get the crowd going, and follows through with song requests. My friends and I live about 30 minutes away but know a drive to the 40 is always worth it. A true Grand Rapids treasure❤️ Yeehaw!
Friday night after a concert, the place was packed. For a downtown bar they don't keep up with keeping tables cleared but still an overall positive experience.
Food is 1 star due to this is just a bar I don't believe they serve food. Everything else has been great every time I have been here.
If I could give a zero, I would. We paid $100 for a table and within one hour (9:00), the place was so full that there was no way that you could dance on the floor. Their website advertises line dancing and shows pictures of a large dance floor that are not reflective of their bar. We tried to get our money back before 9 and the manager was rude and would not give us our money back. Advertising is deceptive and we will never be back. This picture is there dance floor at 9:00. Compare this to their website…
Totally a disgrace,shamful most frankly a Dump. The bartender dude was rude and my experience was poor not a country bar at any means and management sucks too
