Don WozniakJune 19, 2016The naan club and the appetizer mushrooms. Both tasty and ample portions. But the real game-changer was Jessie, our server. We'll return if we can have her take our table. She deserves a raise!
Gerardo Montes EnestaMay 19, 2015I liked everything, from the distribution of the pub to the drinks and deli food, awesome!!!😀
Steak and eggs is the best dish on the brunch menu, closely followed by the Green Eggs 'n' Hamms. Skip the Royal Bee cocktail, it's overpoweringly gingery. And I love ginger.
Most delicious caprese ever-- Thai caprese salad, with heirloom tomatoes. Ruby red grapefruit added extra kick!
The menu changes all the time, so ignore all the tips that recommend a specific dish that no longer exists. This place has a creative kitchen, so try whatever looks good.
Benjamin BlackmerAugust 7, 2014Outdoor seating is fantastic. Great beer selection. Wings are very good but actual wings, not like BWW wings.
Dan BantaJanuary 24, 2014Upscale pub in urban environment with great atomosphere, food and outdoor capability in warmer months.
John WheelerJuly 15, 2015Blue/Bacon burger was really good. Not the best in the city, but still excellent. Get some fries with their amazing Ranch dressing too.
Best local food and Beer in Grand Rapids. But the Mimosa and Bloody Mary Bar for Sundays is a "must go"
MeganSeptember 16, 2012This gastro pub uses homegrown herbs and veggies, and has tons of great local beers, plus great burgers! Be sure to sit outside on the patio
Everything is great here, but must mention that the music is better than a playlist than I'd have at home. Props to the dj or pandora station.
Lisa BarrMay 25, 2014Great place for a Saturday afternoon...service, chicken meatballs and of course, beer, were all fabulous!
Menu and beer list changes frequently. Everything is great! Sit at the bar. Have Dara as your Bartender!
Richard R.January 13, 2015Took me 30 minutes before I realized it shared the same name as the Shaun of the Dead pub. Also good food and nice staff.- Monte python holy grail ale, and a Winchester burger is perfection. Add awesome open mic with Lucas Wilson....always a great atmosphere.
- Servers recommend hovering by tables as they're finishing if you want to grab one. Slightly awkward but when it's busy you gotta do what ya gotta do...
French dip is to die for . Along with ginger peach beer. Heaven 🙌
Awesome MittenMarch 13, 2012“Open mind, open palate,” is Paul Lee’s main philosophy in maintaining his tremendous success as founder and owner of The Winchester in Southeast Grand Rapids. Read more- Heather LoseyMarch 6, 2012Yummy! Get the ginger peach cider with the soft shell crab blt. Your mouth will thank you :)
- Jennifer KayFebruary 15, 2012I'm always a fan of Vandermill Cider and the Ginger Peach is awesome! Get it while it's on tap.
Lizzie M.October 14, 2012Everything and anything is amazing. Seriously. Make your own mimosas and the grilled cheese blt are great!
The Winchester Bar Cheese is amazing...and make sure to check out the daily dinner specials! Unique and delicious!
Ryan NoslerSeptember 24, 2013The deviled eggs have more mayo than an entire Jimmy Johns sandwich in one egg.
Douglas M.June 20, 2013Located in the trendy SoGay (South of Gay) area of Grand Rapids, they have a delicious menu featuring locally grown foods..
Christine HadamikSeptember 11, 2011Awesome bean dip and the egg sandwich is so good! Great service and great bloody marys!
The Mecklenburglars Bicycle Gang meets here weekly on Wednesdays. Bike there and have a drink. Meet some peeps.
Frankenmuth BreweryMay 23, 2012Great tasting food matched with great tasting beer...Great combination here.
- Get a burger and cry about the naan club being gone forever. Yes, I'm still upset.
Winnie the Pub is a great place for craft brews and food. Good Happy Hour prices.
Don't order the sausage and kraut special. It's more like an appetizer than a meal. 1 sausage and a 1/4 cup of kraut for 11.00, really?
Try the deviled eggs! An interesting twist to the original. :)
Try the Braised Bacon sandwich. You won't be disappointed.
MJ D.December 17, 2011Explore your inner foodie. Pass on the hummus for something more adventurous. Tonight (12/16) was lengua and beets. Fantastic.
BYO Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar on Saturday and Sundays, $5 food menu!
