The Meanwhile

Grand Rapids, United States

Just west of Eastown, near Diamond Avenue. Opened in 2007, this hipster bar specializes in cheap drinks (numerous specials throughout the week), unique concoctions (try the "Vern Ehlers", named after the city's representative in Congress), pinball, and a great jukebox. Now features an outdoor patio in the back. Bus 5, or 4 and 6 get close.
