Vivant Brewery & Spirits

Try the wizard's old fashioned! Perfection! First time experiencing the amazing drinks and food! Came to hear Mallory, connected with the amazing GM Evan, and met so many lovely people 💖

Love this gem on beautiful Cherry Street! Stopped in today (July ‘25) to hang on the (dog-friendly!) patio and have a few bites. I enjoyed the catfish sandwich with fries and my friend had the nashville fried chicken sandwich with a side salad. The catfish sandwich with remoulade was very tangy & tasty and the slaw on the chickens sandwich added great taste and texture. I love this place and come in several times a year - 4 stars only because the prices are a bit high for essentially upscale pub food (although for a great product). I’ll be back again, just have to save a little to splurge on their patio!

A charming brewery set inside a former church. We ordered two beer flights, truffle fries, poutine, and a bowl of pickles. The beer list had a solid variety, though a few we wanted to try were unavailable. The ones we did have were enjoyable. The fries and poutine were good, fairly standard. The pickles, while tasty at first, got too acidic and started to burn after a while. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was great, and prices were reasonable. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the Grand Rapids area.

this was our favorite place for the beer weekend we did. The service was excellent. We sat outside and the beer was excellent. We also has some smoked old fashioned and I think they may have been the best we ever had. The owner came out at one point and offered to do a tour which we did. He really gave us the backstory and enjoyed the service. We had the duck nachos which is their most popular item on the menu.

I attended the long awaited Wizard Burial Ground keg tapping 2025. My advice to the brewers is to go back to 2018. That year and the years before were fantastic! Since then it feels like drinking a strong "spirit," not beer. Harsh. My humble opinion. Prices are way up. Only one kind of frites. Change is inevitable, and sometimes not entirely welcome, but that’s life.

We split the burger and it was great! Got a flight that was good, customer service was excellent and vibe was good.

I've enjoyed Vivant in all the seasons of the year. Indoors and dog-friendly patio. t is a great combination of friendly neighborhood pub and delicious European spot for tasty dinners and cocktails. It is really nice to have staff people remember me and say hi. I appreciate their emphasis on running a business based on sustainable operational practices.
