J Gardella's Tavern

Melanie was our server. She was super sweet and told us to come back after dinner. Glad we did! We just popped in for a drink while waiting for a table. Great place! Nice prices on drinks!!!

Love the building!! Felt comfortable there, nice bathrooms. AND the sliders were great!!

Love this restaurant! Always friendly great service. We got the fish special the last time we were there, so good just the right amount of fish I couldn't eat all the fries. One of my very favorites. Check out the prices I don't know how they do it, our bill was 14.00 for 2 dinners.

Was here for lunch and the staff were incredibly friendly! We we're looking for a place to camp in the middle of winter and at least three employees were helping us search for a place. The tots were a bit undercooked but the shrimp and the pork sliders we're both delicious! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon

Nice small tavern with good beer selection along with a menu of mostly appetizers. Very well priced, most appetizers were $3. We ordered 2 craft beers and 4 appetizers and our bill was $28. I would recommend this place.

We were there for a private party in the basement. I couldn't believe how accommodating the bartender was with my 16 month old on a Saturday night! He was so sweet, he even brought her crayons and a coloring page!

On top of that, the food that I ordered was ridiculously well priced, fresh and delicious. They also put appetizers out for the party that were equally delicious.

I would recommend the salad, the tots, smack n cheese and the brussel sprouts!

my boyfriend and i went there for an early lunch today and it was absolutely fantastic. as a beer novice, i asked the waitress what kind of beer she would recommend and she gave me a delicious berry beer that was on tap -- very helpful. i ordered the loaded chili burger w/o jalapenos and my boyfriend ordered the gordella (i think that was the name) burger and they were both so awesome - definitely for meaty, hefty meals. the homemade chips were also awesome. super nice and helpful with a homey kind of vibe to it -- would definitely return.

Great little bar! Karaoke upstairs was fun and the bartender on the first floor mixes great drinks. Btw, she is absolutely gorgeous! A 12 out of 10.

This was the place we stopped at for the Trump rally to eat, it was good food and good company we had the fish and chips. Yum! We were told secret service came by and checked every room. We went back out to find the end of the line.... which we did not see. We walked back to the Van Andel arena, with many more supporters of the President, we're gathered.

One of my favorite bars downtown. Sometimes they have the upstairs and downstairs open, each with their own bar and vibe. Cheap drinks and cheap food. Their waffle fries and gravy are the best.

This place has so many different atmosphere's its awesome! Main floor is like a normal bar, basement is a club with music and drinks, and the top floor which is my favorite is a very chill lounge reminiscent of the old speakeasys.

Three floors of fun! Every time i've been here, it's been busy. Expect to wait a bit to be served if you go here on a weekend. Overall, the staff are normally friendly. Each floor has a slightly different vibe to it, so be sure to check them all out.

Pleasant atmosphere -- drinks good and bathrooms decent enough. The Asian chick working there (sorry -- bad with names) was really nice and attentive, and found my lost phone, so pretty happy about that!

Cheap drinks, good food specials, good music and friendly staff. I'm biased though, I worked there lol but I'm not lying. Also, usually not as crowded as the rest of the downtown bars before a show at Van Andel, Intersection, or 20 Monroe

Great food and drinks. A must stop place for ant bar crawl. Their is a downstairs that also has drinks. The crowds that come in vary in age but the people are nice.

Awesome new menu, featuring 2 and 3 dollar sliders , $2 fries, and $2 10 oz craft beers. One of the best values in the downtown area.

Great drink specials on wednesday nights! With all the drinks half-off and a pretty solid gyro for $4 after 9. It makes for a cheap and relaxing night!

Came from So Cal back to my hometown GRR for a weekend visit with the fam. Wow, GRR is awesome. Wifey and I stopped by here and had the Chili Potato Fritters. Sort of like Southwest meets Indian fusion food. As a foodie, we can give them all thumbs up. Good selection of beers and the waitress and bartender were cool also. Recommended!

Quirky, and fun menu items that tasted great. Had a few different sliders, beef stroganoff, tots, and a couple desserts. Excellent and friendly service, too.

Great atmosphere if your looking for a place dt Grand Rapids to relax and have a beer:) nice employee's too. Thank you for a great experience, for my first time there:)
