“ This place is amazing! Not only are the spirits delicious, but the service is unbeatable. We came in on a random Monday cause a friend suggested it and we’ve been back almost weekly. Rachel clearly knows her stuff and makes some amazing cocktails. A highly recommended. ”
“ One of our favorite neighborhood spots to cozy up, and enjoy a cocktail. The bartenders are also super nice, and welcoming. I forget her name, but she’s always so kind and makes amazing drinks (sorry I’ll edit this once I remember it!). This cocktail lounge is absolutely on par with all other top cocktail bars in West Michigan. A true gem. ”
“ Everything associated with Two James: their different types of bottles, the Detroit distillery location and Supergeil (TJ's restaurant across the street from their Detroit location) is FIRST class. The same holds true for their Grand Rapids location. Probably been here a dozen times and the service behind the bar is always outstanding. Also you can purchase the entire line of bottles saving a long trip across state to the east side. ”
“ Top notch spirits! If you are on the west side of the state and don't want to drive to Detroit to the original, you are in luck! Remember, this is a tasting room and no food... but there is a great place connected that has very good food. Many great spirits to try, and even more craft cocktails! Or even mocktails for your DD. My favorite was the Old Fashioned made with Catcher's Rye, yum! Absolutely great, friendly service! ”
“ From creative carrot infused G&Ts to classic delicious espresso martinis Two James has the cocktails that will keep you coming back. ”
“ Visited for my first time last night & loved it. The bartenders were super nice, Jake and another gentleman were working. They were both awesome, friendly & talented mixologists. The vibe in here is great, the artwork is stunning & I found out it’s a local artist and they switch out the artwork throughout the year. Can’t wait to go back and see what new pieces they have up. The drink menu is great, it was hard to decide which drinks to get I can imagine they’re all great and I’m excited to go back and try another! Will be back soon! ”
“ First off don't be confused - the spirits room is located inside the 7 monks tap room. Second of all - Shout out to Rachel for being the best bartender and taking great care of us! The cocktails were amazing down to those potato chips! Something about tiki drinks and salty crunchy chips go hand in hand. Ha. We ended up buying some Dr Bird merchandise and a bottle of the French Connection. We would definitely come back just to see Rachel and try more amazing drinks. ”
“ Great atmosphere, amazing drinks, and outstanding service!!! Besides the usual good bar experience, they have b-movie night every other Wednesday with a specialty cocktail to match the movie. It is one of my favorite events in Grand Rapids! ”
