This is one of my favorite bars in grand rapids by far. Its very rustic and reminds me of the old east town. The bartenders and waitstaff always blow me away with how friendly they are and I have never seen an issue not be resolved professionally by the security. There is never a cover charge and some of the bands are pretty phenomenal. They have shuffle board and pool tables as well. Its definitely worth a stop if youre in the area, its never a bad time.
I had a great time with some great friends and people but even after tiping out waitress over $50, at the end of the night she poured out mine and my friends drinks because she didnt want to stay late, but fact of the matter is we had 15min til 2am. She continued to tell in my face Get put while I was trying to finish my drink. Not going back...
Well I was hoping this wouldve been a go to bar for me since I recently moved close by. Definitely not. My mom came into town and I wanted to take her out and i looked up some good reviews and decided on mulligans. There was hardly anyone at the bar, other customers were served before bus. I think they like to treat white people best. We are native American and I hope your staff becomes more considerate of everyone that comes in to support your business if thats even a priority for this establishment. Thanks for the horrible experience with my mother asking if we wanted to share straws....so weird......
Great service, great drinks & great times.
Mulligans Pub. Not for the faint of heart. This is a Grand Rapids rock and metal bar. Pros+The music is loud, the crowd is rowdy, and the drinks are stiff. Probably not the ideal date location, but if youre ready to let loose, this is the place to do it. Drink prices are great, and shows are always free. Mulligans Pub never charges covers or entry fees, yet still fairly pays their performers. Order the Mulligans Stew.Cons-The bouncers and staff have attitude. While they do their job well, they give what they get. Treat them, or their patrons badly, and they will gladly eject you. Mulligans Pub is like a family type environment. All the regulars and staff know each other, and watch out for each other, so if you cause trouble, you will get trouble. Overall, theyre nice people, who perform their job well. Just dont expect high class restaurant treatment. Also their pool cues and tables are in rough shape. So if youre going to play billiards, its recommended to bring your own cue.Warnings!Mulligans is loud. If youre soft spoken, or want a quiet relaxed environment, this isnt your bar. The jukebox has a warning that if you play unwanted music, the bar will skip it. Remember this is a rock and metal bar. Unwanted music is typically met with Boos, and that song skipped altogether. No money back for bad jukebox choices. Also, the jukebox is usually pretty loaded down with songs. If you play a song late, you risk it not playing at all. The play first function is helpful here if you shovel out the cash. The street out front is the smoking area. Theres usually some odd shenanigans going on out there. Also, youre bound to meet one of Grand Rapids friendly vagrant community. Theyre usually very nice, and occasionally offer gifts for nothing in return. Mulligans signature drink, Mulligans Stew is dangerous. Its a very tasty and easy-to-down shot, but its far stronger than it tastes. Many a blackout have been attributed to Mulligans Stew, it uses a cream liqueur that might make some feel sick when drank with other alcohols. Also these stews can be ignited due to the presence of Bacardi 151. The Pub does not light them for you, and encourages you to ignite at your own risk. Ive seen beards and faces burned from lit stews. Use common sense.Overall, Mulligans is always fun, always unique, and always filled with interesting and diverse people ready to let loose and celebrate the culture of Grand Rapids. Enjoy.
Used to go here during calvin college days 80s 90s .. Hasnt changed much
I used to come here during college days (late 80s) ..so im back in town & decided to stop in....same ol mulligans..but no familiar faces.. ...God be with yall ... ! REPENT & BE BAPTIZED, ACCEPT the LOVE ️ of CHRIST & BE SAVED TODAY ! GOD IS LOVE 上帝是愛 ️ #AcceptChrist2bSaved2day
This place reminds me of Macs bar in Lansing or the 8 ball in Ann Arbor, long story short it is a fantastic hole in the wall
If Mulligans likes you, you like Mulligans. This is not a place for the weak of heart. With loud punk music, and a grungy vibe its the perfect place for those who dont fit in other places. They have great shows, pool tables, and a quirky crowd.But also you bad things can happen there if you arent careful...under new management though?
Great local bar to take in some music. Stage and sound are good. The venue has its own character as well as it has been in use for bands for many many decades with tons of history!!! Go check out their website or Facebook for the latest upcoming shows and support local music!!!!
Monday nights at Mulligans are where it’s at. $2 bottles of any beer (craft beer included), no cover, cold AC on these hot summer nights, and it’s trivia night to boot! Bartenders are friendly and it’s super laid back.
Not the S $@t hole i used to love back in the day, but its a dark dive bar with cheep drinks.Good alternative to downtown clubs and expensive valet.
Fire plus liquor plus shot glass? Super cheap drinks? Pool tables. People watching. Ever been kicked out for drinking too much? Welcome to Mulligans.
Bartenders were on point, bands were great!
Cheap drinks but definitely not a punk bar. Mostly millennial misfits. Cant even mosh to a metal show without getting kicked out. Not what it used to be I guess. Still alright. Decide for yourself
This is old school. This is a true hole. It even smells when you walk in. Its been around a long time for a reason. They take care of there regulars. This place is not for everyone!. It still has a relaxed feeling. Alternative style of people. I like it here.
Dirty and smells bad. They certainly dont put too much time into cleaning the bar top. Both bartenders working were very rude and too busy clucking like chickens to each other to even acknowledge you for a drink order.
Came here to watch some friends play live music. Amazing night! We all had a blast!
No food. But a good place to drink and listen to good music.
Always extra charges on credit card BAD place, it smells so bad in there, so loud, horrendous music, our waitress was unfriendly and make sure the captain Morgan you order in your cocktail is not some well distasteful alcohol mixture like they serve me. I had to return my cocktail and after that the trust was broken. always extra charges on credit card Stay away from this pub.
Best bar in all the land ;)
Only regulars get the respect that everyone deserves. It took me forever to get noticed and order a drink. And they should seriously reconsider their jukebox policy. If I pay money to hear a song, how does the bartender have the right to skip it (without refunding my money) just because one regular doesnt like it? If they want to limit the genres of music people can play, then they shouldnt allow their customers access to millions of songs. Otherwise, take the jukebox out and buy Spotify like everyone else.
Great bar, all the BS reviews are just that...BS...drove from Muskegon to watch lost dog, JOE was also great, we will definitely be back for more shows, awesome environment and great crowd
NO COVER. Great atmosphere, local bands, cheap good drinks, easy to park.
Fun atmosphere, although it leans a bit more on the hipster side. Great deals on drinks however. If youre not looking to spend a whole lot on a night out in GR, Mullys is the place.
I have been going to this place since I turned 21 I went here on my 21st birthday which was 25 plus years ago the best bar in Grand Rapids the cheapest best drinks all kinds of people go here a diverse crowd everyone is welcome awesome place you will not find a better bar in this town!!
Free entry usually. Can find some good bands there sometimes. Free popcorn
Best bar in grand rapids hands down. Make sure youre nice to the bartenders tho lol. Yeah this place is great. Bring a date go with friends youll have a great time. Live performances and music too!!!
I was pretty gone by the time I got here but pool was free and beer was cheap. Live band too
Been here a long time, good drinks and ok prices for area
Great vibes! Awesome live music! Cheap drinks!
Best pour of Guinness in the city. Also, an awesome place to see a show, or just get drunk in.
Nice old dive bar with great music and tall boy cans of PBR for $2.
If youre looking for a dive bar that has cheap drinks and that certain type of atmosphere, this place is the place youre looking for. It feels like the kind of bar where the regulars are locals.
Best dive in GR! Dont expect anything fancy, but good times will always be had when youre at Mulligans. Check out free music on the weekends, or the hilarious improv group on most Wednesday nights.
Had fun. Very interesting but the staff is very nice. Woukd visit again.
Great crowd of ppl. Alot of fun
Always amazing and staff is always looking out! Prices very on point
One of my favorite bars in GR. The bartenders are amazing and drinks are cheap. Great atmosphere too
One of my favorite places. Cheap drinks, great community (if youre not the high-class type), pool tables and FREE MUSIC on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The bands are sub-par and the acoustics could be improved greatly, but I cant complain too much for the price.
Awfull, place, it smells so bad in there, so loud, horrendous music, our waitress was unfriendly and make sure the captain Morgan you order in your cocktail is not some well distasteful alchool mixture like they serve me. I had to return my cocktail and after that the trust was broken. Stay away from this pub.
Its exactly the place you want if youre looking for a good olfashioned dive bar.
Best little dive bar in East town. Live music. Best jukebox in GR
Good place to come and have a few drinks
Cool cheap place to hangout and drink cheap beer. It beats the overcrowded, overpriced, and overrated bars in GR anyday.
Good beer specials, but feels dirty and grunge like.
Good local bar. Pretty busy whenever Ive been there.
Great place for a drink and to chill. sometimes live music and drinks are pretty cheap to
If you care about respecting woman - or just people in general - dont go here. Sexual harassment and other bull on the regular.
Typical punk rock pub with rude drunks and annoying people. Otherside has local shows, $4 PBR pitchers, free hot dog lunch on Sunday.
Its weird, its grungy, vandalism covers every conceivable surface, theres kind of a weird smell about the place...but thats all part of what sets Mullies apart. It is an absolute dive, and I hope it never changes. The music is loud, and the drinks are strong and cheap. Theres no pretention about the place.
As long as youre not an obnoxious person, the staff is amazing and heavy handed when pouring drinks. Also great prices.
Best pub in Grand rapids... love this place
Free pool for two extra hours, until 11!
Cheap drinks, good location.
Awful customer service. Hostile / aggressive door men — avoid at all costs
Been going there for 20 years. my favorite dive. Its cheep n nasty.
Bouncer is a dick.. Music pretty much sucks 50% off the time..
I miss the old staff
Dump bar, cheap drinks and drunk fighters.
Recently a friend of mine was sexually assaulted by staff here. Do not go here.
Yes its dirty and a hole in the wall but thats the point, and it does it well. Cheap PBR Pitchers and popcorn.
Great place, 4 dollar PBR pitchers
Fun place, terrible acoustics for the stage room but so fun!
Always a good time
A real dive.
Come for a drink
Mostly a young people place.
Nope
Drink prices were good but it was LOUD everywhere you went.
Really nice
PBR pitchers are always $5!
Home sweet home
You will not be respected here unless youre a regular
Gotta love the service
Good place to pregame.
Divey bar for the alternative crowd with extremely cheap drinks.
Great prices and better people
Hole in the wall biker bar
Love this bar, its gritty, it plays from metal music to the cantina song from star wars, its dark, and has cheap drinks, pool tables overall my favorite bar to just go and not give a damn about how I look
Not my cup of piss beer
Great drinks
Dive. Local music is good.
Place to hang out with friends
Good prices but not my scene, too crowded and loud but if your into that sort of thing...
Drinks are watered down and expensive. It smells, everything is sticky, and the pe
Fun place
Beer and Whiskey
Tool bar full of douche bag tools.
Mulligans is great, my favorite pub.
Favorite bar!
