The kinda place you enter and the bartender's outside smoking a cigarette and goes, "Be right in, doll." The space is huge. It kind of reminds me of a community hall. Went on a Saturday around 3/4pm and every seat at the bar was filled. The drinks are cheap and strong. The locals seems to all know each other -- lots of shouting across the bar and asking what everyone was doing next week or for the current holiday. Really nice vibes. The bartender was attentive too. Really sweet. Honestly, I liked it a lot -- it's a lil' shabby but also two dollar drinks that were hella strong. So come on, be real. If you don't like true dive bars, you're gonna have a rough time here. If you can go with the flow - it's a fun time.

I've been here many times, had a great time. Most recently…read morethough, went there on a Sunday at 4pm for a 40th birthday, bar tender (long beard) kicked entire party out immediately. This is concerning as the patron was sober, however there was dog on the bar, which is completely unhygienic and violates all regulations. As an individual who enjoys this place, I have never experienced such a lack of disrespect. 10:10 would no longer recommend, I'd actually recommend Billie's. Much cleaner, more friendly, better service, and more accommodating to those "not regulars"

Take a break from the normalcy of Ionia Ave. and head east to Pickwick…read more On first visit, the place may seem a little unwelcoming to the naked eye. Walking into a dark, quiet bar with a meager ten people inside is not the most inviting situation; but after settling in you wish you would have never doubted the place. The walls are adorned with 50s beer memorabilia, making the bar feel like a basement rumpus room more than anything else. I like to examine the muted floor tiles; classic linoleum squares in working-class hues of green, red, and black. The music is set to a regular volume, allowing free conversation between you and your compatriots. The bar is well-regarded as owning the cleanest taps in Grand Rapids. Usually the only three beers on tap are Killians Irish Red, Sierra Nevada, and Fosters; they are the best tastes of said beers I have ever had. And the price is right, as well. For a stop after dinner or after work, come here.

Pickwick Tavern is by far my favorite bar in GR. It's a dive bar to the max, and has the old-school…read morebar feel. The owner (who is typically behind the bar) almost always strikes up a conversation, and I've never left without meeting someone new! It's cash only, which although slightly inconvenient, really adds to the vibe. (I believe they have an ATM but don't quote me). They have some packaged snacks, like bags of chips or pretzels, but no other food. It's the perfect place to stop in, grab a beer, and go back in time for a little while!

I went on a Thursday night desperate to find a place to dance at on a random weekday. They…read moreadvertised that Thursday's are their college night. I'm not sure if they meant early 00s like 2000-2010 college era but it was FANTASTIC. I grew up on that early 2000s hip hop and r&B so that was nostalgic. The crowd is exactly within that age group. It was a fantastic fun night. Drinks weren't high end and amazing but for $11 they'll taste like you'd expect. I'd recommend going with a group of friends and staying accountable for one another. The cover is $5 with college ID or $10 if you're an adult not in college. I'll be back to dance here.

This places drugs people and allows others to get drugged and turns a blind eye. The bartenders and security are all doing lines and shooting up before, during and after their shifts.

There was a small side room for the Irish music, and we crowded around with our instruments and voices.

My chain broke on my bike (a 90 degree day) and politely positioned myself in the far coner of their parking lot for some shade as I waited for someone to bring me a tool to fix it. Bartender 1 (not on shift) pulls by me and says, "You need to leave, Erin (apparently bartender B) is going to come out and tell you to leave." I smiled and said ok. A few minutes later, bartender B, comes out and yells across the parking lot, "You gotta go." Couldn't even have a little common decency and privately come over and address me by asking, hey, is therr something we can helo you with, if you could please just pull off the peoperty if you're not planning on coming in to our establishment?" And instead she says, "I told you on Thursday u you can't be out here. ". WHAT IN THE FUCK? I was never at this bar on Thursday and I have NEVER ever been here with my bike sitting in their lot. And, looking foolish (becuase it was sooo foolish) says, "my problem is a YOU problem, NOT as peoblem. I mean, I'm in the corner by the dumpster, watching fully aware thar if the parking lot har filled up I was prepared move because patrons come first. The only interation I had with anyone there was actually kindly calling a customers phone several times becuase he needed help looking for his lost phone. This is the first time I have ever left a review. Like I said, I have been in the industry for years, i get bad days, bad service, and fuck ups. But, not only was I treated like dog shit, but I was accused publicly of something that never even happened. Please, help your staff with some training on just simple human decency and problem solving, becuase if my interaction woth them reflects at all what their service is like behind the bar.... I donn't see how anyone could sit on the other side and want to be here. Hats off to your staff before these two women, help your staff, clean up your trash, and make coming here enjoyable, hospitable, and neighborly like it was in the past. Thanks in advance. Damn, can't even give zero stars.

It was a Saturday around 9p and we got the last table. **Reservations are recommended** the space is very small and intimate with only 4 tables. We met the bartender who curated the menu.

It is a very well kept and clean older bar. Full bar & kitchen (although I've never been here earlier enough to have the kitchen open lol) but fair warning they are a cash ONLY establishment and do not do tabs. They do have an atm for this reason, too. Juke box, pool tables, darts, shuffle board, and a ton of other games. Lots of seating! Clean bathrooms, too. All in all a great local dive bar with friendly service!
