The BackForty Saloon

Amazing little bar with a big dance floor! Always playing great music and the vibe is real. Service can be a little slow, but there is a lot of people! I love this gem

10/10 bar. I’ve gone to almost every bar in GR but somehow always end up at this one because I genuinely just have the best time here. The staff is fantastic and do a great job of taking care of the place and it’s people. I’ve lost my keys and wallet here multiple times, and they always are returned and kept safely by the staff. The DJ is incredible (would highly recommend seeing him every Friday night!), and really knows how to get the crowd going, and follows through with song requests. My friends and I live about 30 minutes away but know a drive to the 40 is always worth it. A true Grand Rapids treasure❤ Yeehaw!

Great band, great staff. I believe his name was Christian was absolutely rocking it behind the bar! He made sure to keep things moving with the place being absolutely packed!

This bar has incredibly skilled, quick, and kind bartenders. The staff are what make this bar so amazing! There's great music, and sometimes live bands. It can get busy especially late in the evening and can get very cramped. If you don't like being around a lot of people I recommend going earlier in the evening.

By far my favorite bar in Grand Rapids! The staff is amazing and genuinely cares about their customers. My bartender laurel was a superstar, she made sure she got our order correct and that we enjoyed it even though she was busy with 50 other people. If you’re looking for somewhere fun and genuine in Grand Rapids I definitely suggest coming here!

Service is a bit slow. Waited over 10 minutes, it wasn't busy at all. Yet I love the bar as a whole. The atmosphere, the band's. Tends to be a younger crowd, it is downtown after all. Yet definitely one of the best places to go, when you're downtown.

County Bar:
Great music, lots of good dancers, friendly bar tenders, hoping place. Ages from 21-60
It was a great time dancing as watching people line dance as well. Great place to people watch. Bartenders we very fast acdc knowledgeable inn drink orders. All in all, great country bar.

Great live band the night I went. Bartenders are friendly. Good atmosphere. Great place to go if you want to dance and grab a drink with friends, or just listen to some good music. Very clean as well.

This is by far my favorite bar of downtown. Very laid back, and the staff genuinely takes care of you. This place is the best.

Nice bar. Younger crowd. Very nice place. Line dancing. Pretty cool

Great place to go before a concert. Nice staff and love the happy hour specials.

So fun. Great music. We will go back. Hilarious guy that split his pants while dancing.

Very crowded but great band and good time dancing!

Good band great party spot.
