Grab a beer - Hopcats on Ionia is pretty good place for on tap variety downtown but my favorite is still Logans (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.logansalley.com">http://www.logansalley.com</a><!-- m -->) on Michigan. Hundreds of beers from every where you can think of. It's dark and smokey but if you can get past that it's pretty awesome. I haven't had it in a while but they have a dish of Tater-tots smothered that is one of the best after bar meals i've ever had.
To watch football I like the Score on Nothland Drive or Vitales on Leonard or in Comstock park.
Mama's Pizza is my favorite then Vitales
I cook my own burgers with beef raised by my step father so everything else is crap but I'm sure there are good ones out there.
Unfortunately I've been out of the downtown seen for a little while but I've never been disappointed with McFaddens waitresses.
Do they still have salad bars out there? I got pissed off when Wendy's took their super bar out of rotation and have been jaded since.

Yeah, Vitales is a pretty excellent place.
Waitresses are pretty good too.

The california rueben at Flanagan's rocks. And I swear to God this is true, when you get a beer at Flanny's, have Beth pull it for you, it honestly tastes better.

I've only been to Flanagan's once and, after I complimented her outstanding fake chest, this woman let me stick my hands up her shirt and feel them. I've not been back yet because I don't think I can ever top that moment.

Are you sure you were at Flanagan's and not the Tropics ? But if you were at Flanny's im sure you will be disappointed with your second trip.

Yeah, that may have been an un fortunate choice of terms, oh well, if she's reading this I'm sure Beth will forgive me. speaking of which, I need to call her...

I do like going to Uccellos. I usually go to the one on the Beltline though because it's closer. Scenery has been okay whenever I've been there. The standale one must have all of the GVSU waitresses.

I took one of my models to the Standale Uccellos after a shoot last fall, and while I didnt notice the waitress, the food was amazing. They had the best seafood bisque I have ever had.

If you go to that Ucellos and your waitress is "Deja" (yes that's really her name) make sure you keep calling her "Deja Do". She's a friend of mine and she's just dingy enough to wonder out loud how you know to call her that.

How funny is this ? The model I was referring to in my previous post, her last name is Deja.
That's spooky wierd.

I went to high school with a girl named Deja.
She won a car on the Price is Right once.

Oh, and I really want to know who has the best salad bar.
not a lot of good salad bars per se in this town, but I've heard Mangiamo in East town makes a mean salad.

GR Peeps Where's your faves ? - beckyp - 06-28-2008
Mcfadden's is awesome, PJ supposedly hangs out there quite a bit. regardless, i really like it there or The Curagh in Holland.
GR Peeps Where's your faves ? - potthole - 06-29-2008
Gotta agree with the Curragh. Good beer and scotch selection, wonderful food on the menu. If you're looking for a quieter setting, show up before ten and you're set. If you're looking for more of the loud bar setting, after ten is for you.
