Mary M MottaJanuary 21, 2015my #1 spot in GR! good for casual dates, dinner/drinks, hanging with friends. sushi menu is served late. awesome sweet potato sushi! love the fish and chips. don't order the cookie skillet - bland.
Great place for food and drinks, try the stuffed chicken, it is a personal fav. I also love the NY strip, those au grat potatoes are amazing :)
Roxanne is the best bartender/server make sure you ask for her. Makes awesome drinks and really caters to the customer :)
Josh CurtissJuly 26, 2017High ceiling, multiple floors, huge liquor section, what more could you ask for?
Randy Artibee Jr.May 14, 2013The deck on a nice day is so relaxing. Great food, excellent drinks. vegans and meat eaters alike will love this place!
Glenn FischerJune 27, 2014Really did enjoy the sushi. The sweet potato tempura roll was particularly surprising. Great balance of flavors.
JasonSeptember 12, 2015The Shrimp and Grits is a good dish. Shrimp was cooked well but I could have done without such a large serving of the grits.
Pitchers of sangria (the mixed kind) are soooo good...and deadly...The mac n' cheese (get it with bacon & green onions!) is amazing too!
- Tami PearlMarch 1, 2014The Bloody Mary bar for $4.00 is really good! Also, had their dynamite sushi roll. Very good!! Our waitress was great!
- Anthony Delli PaoliJuly 27, 2014Sushi is brought in fresh 6 days a week from Hawaii. Great place in the MI for the freshest food around!
Get the spinach and artichoke dip but have the kitchen add bacon and jalapeños. You won't order it any other way.
Try a bottle of the Pinot Noir, and order the shrimp rangoons. also try the spicy california rolls. makes for a great snack with a friend. The bar has a really chilled out, sexy vibe.
Brittany LamsonAugust 11, 2013The infused cilantro vodka is amazing with the Bloody Marys! Slurp some oysters with it too. So good!
Amanda the bartender at Republic is amazing! She creates awesome tasty drinks and has a great attitude! Sit at the bar and hang out with her
The kobe tortilla salad is amazing. It isn't on the Republic menu but you can still order it. Warning: The girls working the front of the house are usually unorganized if it's even remotely busy.
Griff PotterJuly 22, 2013The help is amazing. The Morrocan chicken to die for. The cheeseburgers are average at best. Sit on patio if possible.
Great atmosphere-always surprised at the price for how great the quality is!
Great happy hour deals! The sangria is fabulous and sushi rolls are only $5 before 6
The corned beef & egg might be the best sandwich in Grand Rapids.
Jessica BarianApril 16, 2019The restaurant is spilt in two. The tables are super close together and really small. I was disappointed in the sushi menu. It was limited but the one roll we ordered was good.
Monday nights in Republic enjoy live jazz & 40% off bottles of wine! Lovely atmosphere.
AJune 6, 2014Devin is absolutely the best bar tender. So friendly and top service...keeping those drinks filled :)
Check out Rockwell's bartender downstairs...her eyes, her smile, her body...amazing!!
Check out the build your own bloody Mary's for only $4! Lots of great Mary-building ingredients!
Kelly RufferFebruary 16, 2015Had the Banh Mi sandwich and it was horrible - all fat, couldn't even chew it. But Bloody Mary bar was awesome!!
try the new "it always.works". it's super good, and 'it always works' to get you drunk! ;)
Paul BernardDecember 9, 2011Thursdays are a must. Half off amazing martinis. Great food and atmosphere.
Ben, Kelsey, and Katelyn are the best bartenders in GR! Period!
Check out the male bartender's eyelashes!... And eyes... And body!... Mmhmm!... Amazing!
Terry JohnstonFebruary 4, 2012Get the Mac and Cheese... and have them Avocado in it at the end. YUMMO!
