Rocky's Bar and Grill, 633 Ottawa NW, Grand Rapids ~ 6/15/23
RIP Rocky's. Corewell Health bought the building this month and the bar closed on December 14. Here it is today (12/19/23). View the building while you can 😢 It was a happier place last June: This historic building was built in the 1880s according to our server. It first operated as a grocery store and has been a bar since the 1920s. (I don't know what they did during prohibition.) The bar back and bar are original to the building. This cabinet was brought in later - check out the martini shaped glass. We were greeted by this friendly server/bartender, Gregg, and he started us off with a couple of Oberons, a Hazy IPA, and a Voodoo Ranger. After a few minutes, no one was in the bar but us and we asked Gregg to turn down the really loud music and he happily obliged. There were also 4 TVs playing but with no sound. Here is the two page menu: The Pierogies were selected as our appetizer and they arrived nicely prepared with onions, scallions, and sour cream. The bar has no plates ...
