Haven't done a Yelp review in a few years and trust me, I've been to at least like three of four…read moredifferent places in the timespan. Nothing quite made me want to leave a review. Sure, I'd leave places and be like, "I should really do them a solid" but then I just went home and either forgot about it or started doing other stuff. Have gotten really into running since COVID and that's pretty much my favorite topic of discussion (running, not COVID). Had between 15 and 20 Miller Lites over the course of a three-night span here in late June 2026. This place is like Outback Steakhouse in the "no rules, just right" type of way. I do not believe they serve food here but did see bartenders making microwavable popcorn on request to several patrons. So this place is designed with a three-room set-up. You walk in and it's a square carpeted room that can be used for live music. Then you reach the bar area, then there are pool tables. There seemed to be an area behind the pool tables but I was too afraid to go back there. Now in terms of bar design, I would have led with the bar but that's just me and I'm sure the architects (possibly Mike Brady from "The Brady Bunch") knew what they were doing. I tend to trust professionals, apart from what our public health "experts" did to us during the forementioned COVID. This bar is cash only. That's probably in other reviews. Also, if you have AT&T cell service, good luck. There's no service so you can't look up scores and check Instagram. And now you're thinking, "what about the wifi?" C'mon bro, be serious. I love this bar. They have four different TVs in the main bar area that range from 19 to 45 inches. All are on different setups. Antenna, YouTubeTV, etc. The staff is fantastic. Patrick and Katie were my two favorites. Entertaining and straight out of bartending central casting. I was just drinking beers so I can't comment on what like a cocktail or normal-person drink tastes like. Clientele ranges from bachelorette parties to people who have seen some shit. It's a dive bar that never had to try to be a dive bar. You'll read other reviews on this place and they are super granular or longwinded or whatever. Don't pay attention to those bozos. This place is strictly vibes. Did I mention the dropped ceilings have art paintings on them? One even has a Pontiac painted on it. Hell yeah, Michigan. Haven't seen a Pontiac since cars still had cassette tape players in them. I would live there if I could. And I'm a proud Ohioan.

Went here on a random weekday during the day while family was shopping in the area. Looks and feels…read moreexactly like a local bar should on the inside. Guessing the decor hasn't changed in decades, which is great. Friendly bartender, and lots of locals coming and going. We obviously are not regulars at the bar, and felt welcomed. Small town drink prices were a bonus. Would go back.

One of my favorite places in Holland. We always sit on the bar side. Service is excellent and…read morethere are many unique menu items. I've been here with small groups and large groups and we have always received great service. The menu states that since everything is made from scratch it might take up to an hour to get your food but it has never taken that long when we have been here. On this visit we started with two orders of nachos, requesting no meat in one order. The nachos here are seriously my favorite that I have ever had from any restaurant. Ingredients include roasted corn, black beans,, red onion, cheese, lettuce, pico, cilantro, and lime chipotle cream, and choice of meats. We ordered ground beef on one order and the other meatless. After the nachos we ordered a Fun Guy pizza and a burrito, which was huge! We all shared the pizza and burrito. We enjoyed goat cheese cheesecake for dessert. It was wonderful. This place always has the best food of any bar I ever go to. A must try when you are in Holland.

I was visiting Grand Rapids to attend a concert the night before visiting The Derby. I was about to head home back to Dearborn but decided I wanted to stop for a shot and a beer before ending my weekend. I was out and about hitting up thrift shops and saw this bar was nearby. We were immediately welcomed upon taking a seat at the bar. We ordered our drinks and they came up quick. A big football game was about to start, so the place filled up not long after we got there. We were never given a food menu, but we saw an ad for hot dogs on the wall. They also had a bunch of snack food available. We noticed Keno, a pool table and a few gambling entertainment machines. There's a lot more to this space than the initial bar area you see when you walk in. Bathrooms were clean, the bill was cheap and the company was great. I'd definitely stop into The Derby again.

We have had a family house down the road for 90+ years and decided to give Wolverine Gardens a try…read more The hospitality and service were absolutely unmatched. We were greeted by the bartender and a few locals who were as friendly as can be. My bottle was never close to empty before I was asked for another. The best part, they sell T-shirts as a memory for one of the greatest bar experiences of all time. They have a great back room for any sized event, plus a stage for a live band. I wish we had been there for one of those situations as the grand room seemed to be full of good times. Would recommend booking in advance for private parties. Bathroom was tucked away, but had running water! 11/10 recommend, please pay respect to the generations who have passed through this Michigan delicacy

We were seeking more adventure so loaded up the van with Grampy and the kids to go visit the Wolverin Gardens. You never know how it's going to be with the locals but they were warm and welcoming. We were greeted by the Owner Bobby who was quick with his service and beyond friendly. After a few cold beers it was time to use the facilities which were located beyond the grand ballroom. We were advised to please excuse the mess as it was still partially strewn with holiday decorations and the bands equipment from recent festivities. Well worth the trip as the restrooms were vintage and well used. We had discussions and considered the ballroom for my daughter's wedding reception someday, but to my disappointment the WG does not serve food (perhaps we can cater in??) Long and short of it is a little piece of history with friendly service and clientele- a place I will be telling my friends to visit if they ever travel that way. I loved it and I'm sure I will visit again one day.

Zero acknowledgment of our existence even though I looked both of them in the eye and nodded a hello. We waited a few minutes for someone to come over while the smaller old lady just stood behind the bar doing nothing. Another couple walked in after we had been sitting and were greeted by name and asked what they wanted to drink. We were completely ignored. On what planet is it acceptable to treat customers with complete unearned disrespect? Those women have been on this earth long enough to know how to treat people. If I was the owner I would be appalled. So we ended up going down the street to Vitales where we were immediately greeted and are now giving them our business. Good job, ladies. Good job
