Gypsy Nickel Lounge

Gypsy Nickel Lounge is a beloved American restaurant and bar located at 228 Baldwin Street in the heart of Big Rapids, Michigan. Since opening its doors in November 2011, this establishment has become a cornerstone of the local dining and nightlife scene, offering the perfect blend of exceptional food and outstanding drinks. The lounge was founded by Brett Alward, who also owns The Rezevoir Lounge in Grand Rapids, and his business partner Chris Mullins, who identified a gap in the Big Rapids market for a venue that could deliver both excellent cuisine and a great drinking experience without compromising either. The philosophy behind Gypsy Nickel is simple yet profound: "It is always much more enjoyable to eat in a bar than to drink in a restaurant." Guests can expect bold, flavorful American dishes complemented by an extensive selection of craft cocktails and daily drink specials that keep patrons coming back for more. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to create lasting memories with friends and family. Whether you're looking for a casual lunch, an evening of great drinks, or a memorable night out in Big Rapids, Gypsy Nickel Lounge delivers an unforgettable experience that has earned it a loyal following and over 1,300 positive reviews.
