The West Side, and the grit of its proud residents, are a large reason why recent generations have inherited such a great city. Whether you’re hungry, thirsty, curious, or all of the above, there’s something to be found over here. With Bridge Street and Leonard serving as its primary arteries, the West Side’s rich culture bleeds out into its tree-lined streets, forming pockets of not-to-be-missed destinations.
The Victorian Firehouse at 527 Leonard has always been a Grand Rapids landmark. In 2012, it started a new chapter as the home to The Mitten Brewing Company, a baseball-themed microbrewery and pizzeria. And considering they were named “Michigan’s Best Newcomer” in 2013, The Mitten is destined for the West Side Hall of Fame.
