Grand Haven, Michigan
Just a short stroll from the Lake Michigan shoreline and the Grand Haven waterfront, The Kirby House has been at the center of lakeshore life since 1873. One of the city's most iconic historic buildings, The Kirby has welcomed generations of visitors and locals alike as a hotel, residence, restaurant, gathering place, and enduring Grand Haven landmark. Today, The Kirby House remains one of the most vibrant destinations on the lakeshore, offering multiple dining, cocktail, and entertainment experiences under one historic roof. Whether you're enjoying a casual meal at The Kirby Grill, savoring premium steaks and an exceptional wine selection at 1873, sharing wood-fired pizzas at seasonal favorite K2 Pizzeria, or settling into the retro-inspired atmosphere of MO's Cocktail Lounge, every visit offers something new to discover. During the summer months, The Kirby comes alive with the unmistakable energy of a Michigan beach town. Guests gather on the second-story deck, enjoy cocktails at the outdoor bar, linger over dinner on the patio, and watch downtown Grand Haven buzz with activity after a day spent along the lakeshore. It's the perfect place to unwind after the beach, meet friends before an evening out, or enjoy a sunset-inspired cocktail as the lake breeze rolls through town. When the seasons change, The Kirby's historic character, lively atmosphere, and welcoming hospitality continue year-round.
