Bestside Bar & Grill in Grand Rapids

Bestside on Leonard

Bestside on Leonard is the kind of neighborhood bar and grill that makes you want to come back the minute you leave. Tucked on the west side of Grand Rapids, this laidback spot serves up hearty comfort food, standout drinks, and prices that won’t make your wallet cry.

It’s a sports bar at heart, with TVs around the space and a casual vibe that feels just right for game day or catching up with friends. When the weather’s nice, they open up the big garage door so the whole restaurant feels like a patio, even though you’re still seated inside. It’s an awesome spot to hang out on a sunny day.

The fries are great, the burgers look awesome, and the Garbage sandwich was a hit. The mac and cheese has officially made the try next time list after we spotted it going by. The menu is full of tough choices, in a good way. Classic bar food done right, with filling portions that live up to the hype.

Golf Simulators

Can’t play outside? No problem. Bestside has newly installed golf simulators where you can play a round while enjoying bites and drinks delivered right to your spot. Whether you’re an experienced golfer or just giving it a try, it’s golf and dining combined in one easygoing space.

When to Go

Open seven days a week, with happy hour specials and late-night hours most evenings.

They also offer takeout if you’re looking to enjoy their menu at home.

Hours may vary by day, so check ahead before you stop by.

Parking

Street parking can be a little tricky. They have an overflow lot right across Leonard, which is a helpful tip we didn’t know at first.
