The Kirby House

First, the Kirby is overrated, and if you have been to a Gilmore collection place before, you have been to them all. The Pizza in K2 is good woodoven pizza, but I go here for the view in the summer. In the winter, they run great happy hour specials, but those get pulled out from under us locals during the summer.

The darkroom downstairs is interesting. The only "club" in Grand Haven and there are usually hoards of cougars on the prowl.

The Grill Room is a nice place to eat if you want to drop some cash, however, I prefer The Grand a block away for fine dinning, and more seafood options.

Everytime I walk by the place, there is a cheezy cover band playing in the window, or worse, dueling pianos...

Overall, The Kirby is able to capitalize on its sheer size and location and charge customers more in the summer than the winter. Value wise I would give it 2 stars, but they do have a great deck up top, and the only club in the city in the basement, so they get one more star.

Try a tripple loc dogger from the deck bar in the summer.

I have been here many times over the past 10 years and never had a good meal except when I ordered a specialty pizza.

I do love the live entertainment they bring in and the deck upstairs where you can order the pizzas.

Located on the corner block of downtown Grand Haven, a great spot to have a good lunch with a couple friends.  Choose from a buffet (which includes their pizza and a salads) or order from the menu.  I'm not much a fan of pizza so I ordered a cup of pumpkin bisque and hummus & veggies from the appetizer menu.  The service is friendly, prompt and attentive. Overall an enjoyable experience but if you have to use the restroom, they're located in the lower level of the building - I suddenly felt I was at a haunted house from the early 1900s decor of the basement.
