A must try!

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.

I've seen live shows here (usually classic rock/80s covers) and the sound system is actually quite advanced for a GR bar. For the first time last night I ordered a burger. The burger was more than above average for standard bar far. It was the cajan burger, and as advertised had some kick to it (usually I'm pretty disappointed with "hot" items in places like this). The bun was fresh and you could tell the meat was not from a frozen patty. It's on south division so with that can come some interesting people, but the Log Cabin is SE gem for sure and one of my favorite stops in town.

Also awesome to find a place still open for the late game that would let my minor child in. The only knock I have on this place is the waitress kept giving me, not cold coors light. I drank 2 and finally asked her to give me a cold one and she waited like 5 minutes and the outside bottle was cold but the beer inside was still warm. Almost like they just took it out of the box and thought icing it for 5 minutes would work. When I told her I didn't want it and got a different kind of beer, she tried to charge me for the one I refused. Other than that, great place!

The atmosphere and the people just seen more chill Saturday was just off the hook and lots of like bachelorette parties and crowds and loudness. I hear this place advertised on the radio and they definitely do have a little bit of everything. Food, full bar, games, Dancing, and a live band. 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.

The staff may seem rough on the outer edges, but they are all actually teddy bears once you get to know them. Usually shows are standing room only, which is a drag if you are old like me and opt not to wear orthotics. Luckily, the 9 pm encore show was seated. My old bones appreciated this. Now look below as I'm fangirling in the attached photos! I absolutely adore Alok and their courage to humorously challenge the gender binary and systematically poke holes in the patriarchal system that comprises The USA.
