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’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.

I’m stingy with 5 stars.
Andrew & Jason at Vivant earned it!
This is your neighborhood ‘Cheers’ experience.

I was visiting Grand Rapids and put in ChatGPT if I was Anthony Bourdain, what restaurant should I experience. (See actual prompt below)

Vivant was #1.
Loved the Shadow Raven: bourbon aged English style stout beer (8.2 ABV), Pulled Pork Mitraillette and Bavarian beer hall vibe.

ME:
Act as Anthony Bourdain and tell me the top three places to visit and eat in Grand Rapids Michigan

CHATGBT:
If I were channeling Anthony Bourdain, exploring Grand Rapids, Michigan, I’d seek out places that embody authenticity, character, and a deep connection to their community. Here’s the #1 spot that captures that spirit:

1. Brewery Vivant – A Belgian-Inspired Gastropub in a Former Funeral Chapel

Housed in a beautifully repurposed funeral chapel, Brewery Vivant offers a unique blend of history and culinary innovation. Their menu features Belgian and French-inspired dishes, and their beer selection is crafted with the same European flair. It’s a place where the ambiance tells a story as rich as the food and drink.

They can have 5 stars when I can have ranch dressing.

Why does it seem like a point of pride at this point that you don’t have ranch. I know people ask for it all the time; I’ve come in plenty and I don’t think I’ve had a single visit that wouldn’t have been improved by having ranch. No, I don’t actually want supremely mid aioli, I want ranch for my fries like many of your other customers. This is the Midwest, know your audience.

The servers are lovely, no complaints there.

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.

Brewery Vivant was a delightful surprise. The atmosphere in the converted chapel is truly unique, and our server Elsie made the experience even better. Elsie, is an absolute gem – attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and beer selection. We relished the Duck Nachos Confit and Hearty Jamaican stew. the rich, flavorful and tender meat were incredibly satisfying. Their Farm Hand and Tropical Saison beer was outstanding, and the flight let us sample even more of their excellent brews. Highly recommend Brewery Vivant for its food, beer, and one-of-a-kind ambiance. Ask for Elsie – you won’t be disappointed!!
