It's all been said before, it is what it is and it's barely ok at that. I try to avoid the chain sports bar scene as much as possible but occasionally I get stuck meeting a group of friends. I was really disappointed to see a BW3 move into a great location downtown. There's a ton of good local options in walking distance from here. Friendly staff and parking is difficult. The second floor deck is great!

I dropped a $100 bill there a night ago. I called the next day and talked to one of the very nice waitresses who gladly told me that a staff member had picked it up near the carry-out counter and let her manager know of the situation right away. I first explained about how helpful the waitress I talked to was and how I always receive great service from them, but when I asked the manager (who was closing manager the night before) if he had any idea what I was talking about, he took a second to think and then sort of fumbled over his words... He then went on to tell me that he didn't recall there being any money found from the night before and hung up. I called back even more disgruntled than I was before and talked to the server who had found it and said it was absolutely reported on her behalf. I was able to talk to the manager again and still stayed true to his broken up story. Very disappointed, not even an attempt on their part to resolve the situation. Will not be going back soon... or at all.

LOVE this place! But when and why did it become necessary to order wings "wet" and pay an extra $0.50 to get a normal amount of sauce?

Forgot to cook our fries, the other two orders had cold fries and boneless chicken. Waited 15 min for fries after my order of regular wings were gone. Game 7 of the WS Was on 1 TV asked if the game would be on and was told "oh yes" she didn't lie it was on the smallest TV they had. A Hockey game was on behind the bar with sound and it Was much larger. We had 4 In our party. And not another person was upstairs with us We paid and left. Will not return to this unfriendly place, and the food service was terrible.

Oy Vey. Ok - walking back after giving up on HopCat. Obviously was hungry. Decided to stop here. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. They told me boneless wings we only 60 cents each. I ordered 10. They said I needed to order 12 cuz of the computer. WHATEVER. Oh, this was after waiting 15 minutes for the chowderhead, Eric, to actually take care of me. He was so "busy" getting shit by the flipping shot glass for his "regulars." Way to go!!! You are added to my NOT places. Oh, BTW GR, I am in GR almost weekly. Cheers!!

The best Bdubs I have been to. Crown Royal and Jameson round out the genorous late night happy hour ($3) everynight!!! That's what keeps me coming back. Cool to sit on the patio upstairs in the summer and watch the tigers game or something outside. People always get wings, but I really enjoy some nice carribean jerk buffalitos, and they're much healthier then the wings they dip in the fryer.

This giant yellow monstrosity is a major eye sore in the epicenter of downtown Grand Rapids, and years after opening, it still pisses me off. Hey Bdub execs - there are already 3 other locations in the area. Don't you think that's enough? Thanks a lot for taking up 2-3 retail spaces that should be filled with unique, locally owned businesses, not mainstream corporate chains. Please limit your expansion to suburban strip malls. Judging by all the empty seats every time I walk by, this location is losing the BWW enterprise money...probably because there are dozens of superior bars within stumbling range.

This place is what it it. Its a chain sports bar that serves wings with a million different kinds of sauces, has specials on (insert watered down domestic beer here), and plays sporting events on massive tv's. The female servers wear fitted jerseys and tight black pants. Its like a sterotype of a man cave, which is what they are going for, I'm sure. This particular location isn't any different. Its mildy busy during the week but I didn't have any wait getting a 4 person table this past Saturday night either. The service is fine. Our server was attentive but not overly chatty which is great because I'm not fond of the 'buddy server' thing that chain resturants seem to do. I got naked wings and my hubby got regular wings. Nothing to write home about - or write a yelp on as it would be- but they were filling enough. We came at the suggestion of some friends that were in from out of town who like this place. I'm not sure I'll be back on my own accord but it was a pleasent enough trip.

This place is pretty cool. Not like any of the other bw3's I've been too. If it's warm out ask to be seated upstairs on the balcony. There are heaters overhead if it's a chilly day and the view is great.

I loved the seasonal beers/ciders on tap, and the HOT wings were pretty perfect heat-wise. And our waitress was very accommodating of our huge party, but this isn't the type of joint I'll find myself pining to come back to, no matter the location.

Great service, our waitress was awesome; Delicious burgers and a wide selection of draft and import beers. I can see myself coming here more, also, bring the kids, they will love it here!.

The new downtown GR BWW is great, with the TVs being lower, making it easier to view. I really thought the staff was great and service was nice as well. Outside of great wings (dry rub bbq chipoltle) their soft pretzels are a nice option.
