User:CarolynJoy/Meanwhile Bar

The Meanwhile Bar is a neighborhood pub located at 1005 Wealthy St SE in Grand Rapids, MI. The bar opened in Fall 2007 and features 13 Michigan beers on tap, local art, up to 4 pinball machines, and a large outdoor patio. Popular with a younger indie/alternative crowd, it is also known for cheap drinks and a distinct lack of televison screens.

The business is owned and operated by brother-and-sister partners Jeff VandenBerg and Tami VandenBerg.

The VandenBergs purchased the building, formerly Two Stans Bar, in 2002. Renovations went on for years and the infrastructure was almost entirely rebuilt before they resold the building to Bear Manor Properties in fall 2006.
