J. Gardella’s Tavern, a popular Grand Rapids restaurant and nightspot, is conveniently located next door to the Van Andel Arena at 11 Ionia Ave., SW. Once a warehouse, the turn of the century old building is now home to a beautiful storefront restaurant in the Old Town” section of Grand Rapids. The architecture and decor is much like that of a Chicago tavern complete with wooden floors an embossed metal ceiling, red brick walls, and gorgeous hand-carved moldings.”
