Trendy, modern-feeling with the warms of a neighborhood local. Wide selections on the menu and across the board. Their hop game is on-point. Enjoyed my visit.

Been coming here for years now. Food is good, but limited to sandwiches or tacos mostly. No full on 5 course meals here but the beer is terrific. Always enjoyed being here with friends and family. Definitely recommend it.

At bit off the beaten path but well worth the visit. I've been to greyline probably 6-7 times and each time I enjoy myself. They have a solid tap list. Some of their beers, the pils and nitro stout in particular, are world class. All of the beers I've had have been great. They also have cider on tap. They do not have a phone, which I appreciate. It's a bit noisy with the overhead music (cool selections) but they do have sound diffusers in the ceiling. The food selection is not huge, but it's very good. The most recent trip, I had a piping hot and moist bavarian soft pretzel with beer cheese, which were excellent. Bartenders were knowledgeable. On of my favorite things is that they serve 11 oz pours so I don't have to commit to 16oz if I want to try several beers. Reasonably priced too. Definitely recommended.

I visited Greyline while traveling in Grand Rapids a couple weeks ago. When I was there, they had 13 beers on tap, mostly focusing on IPAs but also some darker beers and a fruit beer. In general I preferred the darker beers to the hoppier ones; the oat stout and coffee brown were my particular favorites. The fruit beer, Fruitopia, tasted very much like its 90s namesake.

Greyline has a very handsome, modern taproom in wood and grey (what else?). There are no TVs but there's good music playing. They also a big outdoor seating area, and service at the bar was quick and friendly.

Stopped in for a couple of tasters. Roomy tap room with a reasonable food menu though we did not eat; nice selection of individual tables along with larger communal. Good lightning - bright despite grey/black colour scheme.
Friendly server who checked in on us regularly.
18 beers on tap with good variety of styles offering 16/11/5 oz pours at reasonable prices ($2-3 for 5oz) - crowlers - no cans/bottles.
I had the Mosacca IPA and Disrupter Red Rye IPA - both were excellent.
Highly recommend as a place to visit in Grand Rapids.

Awesome spot away from downtown. Cool modern industrial metal/wood/concrete vibe. Great selection of styles, all of which I tried were very well done. Solid gastropub style menu for chasing beers. A must stop for anyone seeking out the quality spots from the rest of Grand Rapids.

My wife and I stopped here to try their beers and to have lunch. The pub is located on a busy street among other commercial businesses as well as some residential structures. Parking is available on both sides of the building, although the south side parking lot is much larger. A patio is located on the south side of the building, and a trellis of hop bines is being established as a 'roof' for some summertime shade, if not some kind of rain protection.

We ordered a sampler flight of 9 of the 16 beers on tap (one was a cider). There is a wide selection of styles, so something for everyone is available. Sampler-sized pours are priced individually so that every flight is a custom choice. Each of the beers was brewed very well to style and was beyond average for the style. All of the beers scored 3.75-4.25 on our rating scale, so the brewer here is very consistent about the quality of the beers. We especially liked Fade (nitro oatmeal stout), Rambler (red ale), Rock the Kazbek (ESP), Shakey Knees (coffee stout) and Sirillo (double pale ale).

The food menu is interesting in the selections as well as the portion sizes, and we definitely enjoyed what we ordered. I'll say that the food and beer seem to try to outdo each other on providing enjoyment to the customer.

This brewpub has just recently opened, and is very definitely a place that will thrive. When we're in the area we'll make a return trip here.
