Just a few blocks south of Van Andel arena, around the corner from the beautiful JW Marriot Hotel in downtown Grand Rapids is an establishment known throughout the region as the place to go to if you want succulent ribs to chow down on and quality local craft beers to quench your thirst; that establishment is Z's Bar and Restaurant. Z's is one of the premier bars in all of Grand Rapids, and is centered right in the very heart of the Heartside district. The establishment has a cozy ambiance, and all the traditional amenities of a modern bar, but with a rustic touch. Besides the delicious barbeque ribs and numerous beer selections, Z's bar has a menu packed with fantastic burgers, sandwiches, sides, appetizers, and entrees, not to mention a wonderfully expansive drink menu. If you are enjoying the brilliant night life of Grand Rapids, perhaps after the Griffins trounced one of their rivals, you will regret not penciling in Z's Bar and Restaurant at the top of your places to go.
