We really enjoyed the atmosphere of One Bourbon! The food was good, drinks were tasty. We definitely plan on coming back!

Awsome experience. Place might even be underrated. Pork chops wow. Actually everything we ordered. Sounds silly but French press coffee after dinner... that's some good coffee. Service was excellent. Great Job One Bourbon! read more

I wish I could give this place 100 stars. My wife and I got married on November 9, and what should've been the happiest week of our lives turned momentarily chaotic when our original dinner venue canceled on us two days before the wedding. Total panic. We called One Bourbon on a longshot, expecting a "sorry, we're closed." Instead, they did something absolutely unbelievable: they opened their restaurant -- on a day they're normally closed -- just for us. That kind of kindness is almost unheard of. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like family. They set up a beautiful, intimate space, took incredible care of our guests, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. The food was fantastic. The cocktails were perfection. And every single person there felt genuinely invested in making our wedding reception special. Because of them, our day went from almost falling apart to being absolutely unforgettable. Everyone at our reception raved about the experience -- and so are we. If you want a place with incredible food, amazing drinks, and a staff who actually gives a damn about people, go to One Bourbon. They earned customers for life that night. Thank you Meg, Matt, and staff for saving our wedding day and turning it into something magical. read more

People sleep on this place. One of the best happy hours in Grand Rapids because it's everyday they're open, including Saturdays till 6pm! The cocktails are $2 off and half off wine. Such a good deal. Plus the food is delicious and service is great. We had Matt for my birthday meal and was fantastic! He even recognized us when we came back a week later. read more

Celiac Foodie; Great experience & the food was so good! We sat out back on the porch, perfect weather, Nate was our top-notch waiter with an easy going personality and cocktails are darn tasty! Celiacs, we have 5 entrees, one appetizer and a flourless brownie. The Mahi-Mahi dish is so delicious with Cajun seasoning & Garlic Grits. Best part, the atmosphere is inviting, laid back and creates a fun-vibe feeling! Check out the drinks, order some food and relax! No illness from consuming GF food. Happy Dining! read more

I will seriously always give OB a 5/5 rating, even just based off of the whiskey sour ALONE. The service is fabulous, the owner is constantly working the host stand, and they present your check in a nifty contraption that her father woodworked for the restaurant. Anytime I'm feeling down, I pop up to the whiskey lined bar and order a caesar salad, mashed potatoes and one (okay two) whiskey sour. What I appreciate most about OB, is the rotating monthly specials and the classic cocktail menu that is very whiskey/bourbon forward (duh). Truly a gem to the westside, and don't forget the patio! read more

We had a reservation for 14 on 8/1. Our tables were ready when we arrived and we were greeted fairly promptly. Took a little while to get our drinks ordered. I ordered an extra dirty martini w blue cheese olives. I was told no blue cheese olives, which is fine, NBD. I got a regular martini with regular olives. The second one I ordered she brought me a sidecar of olive juice because the server realized that the drink wasn't cloudy enough to be extra dirty, instead of having them remake it. Also, this one DID have blue cheese olives. For the tables we got the biscuit boards - if you look at my pictures it literally was cold hard biscuits, pre sliced meat and cheese (looked like something you'd get a a grocery store deli), pickles, pickled onions, butter and some bland jam. These were pretty disappointing, especially for almost $30. Two of us got the Alaskan Halibut and were underwhelmed. I had many bones in mine and not a ton of flavor, the wild rice blend and veggies was very sub par and not anything that I couldn't make at home with minimal ingredients. Again, disappointed for $42. The resounding comments were it was just, meh. Okay. Which is pretty disappointing considering our bill was over $150 per couple. I will say our server did a good job of keeping us all straight, as all the couples were sitting at different tables and it got to be confusing for her. She was friendly and did keep glasses full once we got the initial ones. Overall, will not run back. Prices seemed out of line, considering they were on par with higher end restaurants around town. read more

Friday night was our first visit to One Bourbon but it won't be our last! We had a reservation for 4 and were seated right away despite it being crowded. Jo our server was so sweet! The old fashioned was perfect and they have a sweet version on tap which my daughter enjoyed. They have a nice selection of Michigan draught beers. The ribeye cheesesteak French dip was amazing and big enough to share. It comes with delicious fries which is unheard of these days (upcharge is usual). The only downside was the cup of jus. It was impossible to dip so we had to pour it. The ceasar salad was fresh and flavorful and the price was great. It was a fun evening!! read more

I am reluctant to write this review because I don't want everyone to frequent this gem and not be able to get a table when I want. Honestly, I've eaten here maybe 20 times and have always had excellent service, amazing food, and enjoyed the comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. The only complaint I have is that you need to bring back your outstanding chicken and waffles. Extra shout out to the owner who was so welcoming and hospitable. I give you 11/10 read more

Great drinks. Great location and good food. Would recommend trying if in the area. Wait staff is always friendly

Service was good. Food was good. Drinks were good. Food has been better previous visits, but was still good. New items ordered off seasonal March menu. Reuben was tasty, but not enough corned beef. Fries as appetizer was ordered by the table, but never received, or changed for to be fair. Fish and chips were a little greasy, but thick pieces of fish. Shamrock old fashioned was ok. read more

Food was great, drinks were creative and well executed! Service was perfect, we went during a small snowstorm so it was pretty quiet, we were the only ones there for a small amount of time, but staff was attentive and friendly. read more

We visited restaurant week and split the dinner but added an appetizer per their suggestion. It was a bustling Saturday afternoon and we enjoyed the art market going on upstairs which allowed us a peek at their event space which was very impressive and elegant. For dinner, we sat at the bar where we were promptly greeted and served up delicious drinks. I don't remember the name of mine only that it had cranberry in it and you could choose different liquors to complete it. I went with the jalapeño tequila and it was the perfect spicy and sweet tart combination. For our appetizer, we got the Cajun sweet potato fries and oh my goodness they are definitely in my top three sweet potato fries I've ever had perfectly crisp with a nice amount of Cajun seasoning to give it an extra kick. Our dinner was a tremendous success. They went with a New Orleans flair or hush puppies to start were amazing as was are entrée the étouffée I barely had a room for our lemon crème brûlée for dessert. Overall, it was a fantastic visit and we will definitely be back. read more

Great drinks, delicious and creative food options, excellent service from Kirsten on a beautiful night on their large back deck area!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to rate this amazing place! One Bourbon is my favorite place to get a drink in all of GR. The space is so warm and cozy, it's hard to leave once you've visited. The staff and owner are some of the kindest and most welcoming in all of West MI. I have never felt more at home and taken care of anywhere else when I've gone to get a drink or dinner. I usually come for my favorite cocktail ever, the Pecan & Peach Old Fashioned (pictured), but I also come for the amazing food. My personal favorites are the Southern Chicken Sandwich & Tennessee Chicken! Absolutely phenomenal. I can't stress enough how much you need to come by if you haven't already. It's so imperative to support local, especially when it's THIS good! Love y'all, One Bourbon fam. Can't wait to be back soon! read more

the butternut squash soup was one of the best I've ever had. Chicken sandwich excellent. The grill cheese was very generous in portion and cheese. I think I don't like the combo of the cheeses that's not on them, I added some of the Nashville hot sauce to give it some extra flavor. It wasn't too loud, no blaring music or echoing sounds. We like places where we can talk. Service was great. You should be able to find something you like when you visit. read more

Went to Dinner with friends, had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was a-one, along with the service. Had a rye and lemonade cocktail which was also very good and refreshing. I had the Bourbon Burger, my husband had the Pork sandwhich special. Both were to die for. Wished we lived closer as I would be going there often. Megan was very attentive as was our waiter. read more

Stopped in to grab dessert with the husband. He had the Old Forester Single Barrel Rye (it smelled delicious!), and I got the Bourbon Bread Pudding with ice cream. We sat at the bar and had great conversation about Bourbon with Mitch! Great, chill place to come to if you like Bourbon - we were told that the owner goes to a distillery every few months with some staff to try Bourbon and pick a barrel that they bring home and age with other things! read more

The food here is really good. Came here for Valentine's Day with my plus one. It's a nice hidden place. Good food also, must try their cheese curds and it didn't seem you could go wrong with any entree though I did have the chicken. Moist and tasty. Service was great. read more

We have been coming to One Burbon for years!! Top notch food, burbon selection and service. The peanut butter pie is the best I've ever had!

We made it to One Bourbon for dinner the other day! We finally got to use the gift cards we got in our gift bags from the Beer, Wine, and Food festival! We'd made a reservation, so we were sat quickly! Our waitress was very nice, and made serving a big group seem like an easy task. For drinks, I ordered the Footloose, a cran-Apple mule. Derek and a friend both ordered the Sunshine & Smoke, which is a smoky, spicy margarita. The friend didn't like the smoky flavor, but I happen to love it, and we ended up switching drinks I liked both though! Buckle up, we got a lot of food! I ordered deviled eggs and butternut squash bisque. The deviled eggs were good on their own, but the dipping sauce they came with was *chefs kiss*. The bisque was yummy too! Derek got the grilled cheese, with white cheddar and muenster. We also ordered the harvest bowl, the bourbon burger, and the smoked ribeye. I didn't try everything but everyone seemed content with their food! We also got the peanut butter pie for dessert (I didn't have room to upload the picture). I was veryyyy full already, but even so, I couldn't get enough Thanks @onebourbongr for having us! We'll be back! read more

The Bridge Street area is so hopping with lots of great options, including One Bourbon. I have been in a few times since they opened back in 2017 so figured I should update my review! They have a decent sized back patio which I totally forgot about, but met up with a friend recently for one of the last days of summer and enjoyed happy hour outside. The menu has a southern, soul food vibe with dishes like Cajun hummus, tasso & biscuit board, mushroom etouffee, and more. I wanted something a bit lighter, so I went with the monthly special salad which had local plums, herbed mascarpone cheese, candied pecans, and blueberry vinaigrette. It was so fresh and delicious and the smaller size was perfect for a small meal. I also enjoyed their Houdini's paloma, which is one of the best palomas I've had. They have a cocktail flight which is super fun, and something we've ordered in the past. The presentation is beautiful and I liked all the different drinks. Our server was very polite and attentive and knew the menu well, which I appreciated. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and dairy free options are listed on the menu so I think it's a good spot for lots of people. Of course if you like bourbon check out their "brown list" for selections! Their burnt orange and vanilla old fashioned is pretty tasty. They take reservations which is a bonus as many of the busy Bridge Street hot spots do not. read more

Second time coming here, and it did not disappoint. The food menu is simple, a few items in each category, and yet it was still difficult choosing what I wanted to eat. The beans and rice had a very good quantity of andouille (they didn't skimp) and the portion size was perfect (took home leftovers). My friend enjoyed their Caesar salad with chicken (tons of meat!) We both got the peanut butter pie for dessert. If you want death by chocolate & pb this is THE dessert. It was rich, creamy, large portion (we should've split 1 piece!). The pie itself was placed on a bed of fudgey chocolatey deliciousness. Generous topping of whipped cream. We both ordered the burnt orange and vanilla old fashion. It was so good! I don't usually like old fashion's BUT the flavor combos and smokiness made for a very tasty beverage. read more

Solid dining experience. The bar is floor-to-ceiling stocked with pretty much every whiskey you can imagine. Bartenders pride themselves on all manner of fermented-grain cocktails, and you should try them all. I went with an old fashioned. Tasted great. Paired it with their pulled pork sandwich. Theirs is a tangy sauce on the pork--heads up if you prefer sweeter BBQ. Pork itself tasted a little dry and disintegrated, not tender and juicy. I'd opt for something else next time. Their house made French fries are a winner. Popular with locals. read more

Waitstaff was efficient, drinks were very good. Bourbon list was extensive with many I never have heard of. Food was great! Rueben & burger were outstanding and the wild rice medley was delicious. Highly recommend . read more

Food was mediocre and while there were some vegetarian options, there was maybe only one vegan option. We were bar hopping with friends and this is what they settled for, for food. Not a fan of the food, but they do have a long list of bourbon if that's what you're into. And as you can tell with this picture, lighting was dim. Service was good though. But too expensive for my taste. read more

I was looking for a new place in Grand Rapids and found One Bourbon. It's on the West side of downtown Grand Rapids and was quite busy, so I'd recommend reservations. The bar is straight ahead as you enter with a few tables spread around and the dining area was off to the left. It wasn't quiet but it wasn't loud either. We could carry on a conversation without issue. I tried their house old fashioned and it was excellent. Their bourbon selection is quite extensive so if you are looking to try before you buy, there's a good chance One Bourbon has a bottle and will pour you shot! For dinner I ordered a ribeye. It was cooked to my liking and included asparagus and potatoes. The potatoes were a little underwhelming, but a little of the compound butter and salt fixed that issue. The asparagus was also good. My second drink was another old fashioned but I opted for a barrel pick of Old Forrester. It was nice and spicy! Totally enjoyed it! We decided to try the cookies and ice cream and it did not disappoint! read more

Great Service. Delicious food. Perfect Drink. I would recommend One Bourbon between 4 pm and 6 pm for their happy hour for your first time so you can see what they are all about! Ambiance is calm and the noise level is moderate since its an open seating area. Could have a small 4-6 person group easily and the noise would be around the same. The cheese curds were by far the best. The dipping sauce is perfectly balanced -not spicy- and the breading on the curds is light and perfectly fried! read more
