When you step inside it's dark, quaint and has a sexy vibe to it. Very limited seating with a small bar and back room that's beautifully decorated.

I ordered the "Liberty Dip" which is their version of a French dip. Meat had almost no flavor and the au jus didn't really add anything. Meat portion also seemed a bit skimpy. I upgraded from chips to tater tots. Those were good! I considered a burger but they cook them medium well "unless otherwise requested". I wasn't going to take a chance on rare or even medium rare. Medium well is fine at a friend's BBQ but not when you're paying for it to be cooked properly. I might come back to The Win for a drink but would not order any food again.

Soft seating and warm but dark and intimate, perfect for date night or a bar crawl with friends. The menu is expansive with something for everyone's taste. The servers and bartenders are super knowledgeable and happy to help make a selection if you know what you normally like. The espresso martini has a salted bite to it while being robust and smooth. Very strong without overpowering. My husband got the root beer float option and it was a fun whimsical interactive option that he enjoyed, it was stronger with more of a strong alcohol taste but still enjoyable. Definitely a great option for folks in Grand Rapids and we will be back for more!

The establishment was clean, smelled good and the people were very friendly. We had Jamie from security really stood out and took really good care of us making sure that we got to our car safe because it was so late. I'm not much of a line dancer I found it funny that you could line dance some of the songs that were being sung so the crowd watching was entertaining for me. We sat at the bar both nights and had great service. Prices are reasonable and the drinks are strong.

While we were about 15 minutes early, we were…read morestill the first customers in the building and it took about 10 minutes for a server to ask us for drinks. I ordered the Classic Margaritas and my wife ordered a bottle of root beer. My Margarita was bland, slightly bitter and no resemblance to a classic margarita I've grown accustomed to. For my entree, I ordered the Short Rib manicotti. And, to be honest, I could not find a shred of short rib anywhere in the dish. The manicotti was stuffed with cheese and covered with a cherry Demi-glas and between the two ingredients, they overpowered the dish. I couldn't finish it. For desert, we shared a dish that consisted of layers of puff pastry with a cream cheese filling. The desert was delicious. Overall, the decor was interesting, albeit the seats were very low at a considerably small table. We have no reason to return.

Nate and I recently stopped in to try some of their new food menu and seasonal drinks. The new drink menu is Japanese themed, so we were excited since we went to Japan earlier this year. I got the alpenglow and Nate got the spicy margarita. Both were delicious and beautiful. We also got some happy hour snacks - the dijon sesame salad and the savory cream cheese wontons. Their happy hour is a great deal and I'd love to come back soon for that again. The salad was fresh and a big portion to share. The raw diced onion wasn't my favorite addition to the salad, but I did love the overall flavors. The savory cream cheese wontons were absolutely delicious - definitely very savory and crispy. I'd get these every time! The vibe inside at happy hour was pretty quiet but it can get packed as it's not a huge space. I am so glad that General Wood Shop is here and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

As a queer person, we have to protect our spaces by supporting them. The care that the staff lures into this place truly shows. The rotating menu, the affordable drink options, the ambiance and the way they truly take suggestions from their patrons. They have a new patio addition which has made the smaller spot feel larger aswell. Last fall, I came in on a whim by myself. Callie was my bartender (love), and they were deciding what to do with some Sloe Gin. Thus the "Femme Fatale" was born, there's something magical about watching a craft cocktail come together. Something even more magical about being able to NAME a cocktail at your favorite watering hole. GW is truly a beautiful addition to GR.
