New Arrival: Peppino’s Sports Lounge
What do you get when you take an EQ3, gut it, and add over 250 seats to a 10,000 square foot warehouse? You get the best new arrival to Grand Rapids in some time…Peppino’s Sports Lounge.
Just after EQ3 left the space
You probably know Peppino’s for the delicious take-out pizza with over 10 locations around Grand Rapids. The owners decided to take that delicious taste, expand it to several new menu items, and match it with the perfect compliment…Sports.
The new sports lounge is located on Ionia, and will give other bars and restaurants on the street a run for their money. Then they added an assortment sports memorabilia, 46 flat screen TVs, including screens inside most booths. Behind the concrete-topped bars are 36 taps offering 20 draft beers. This place can beat out any other sports bar on several different levels.
Besides the incredible location, and the several beers on tap, and the several TVs, and the good prices, the menu dives deeper than what you would expect in a sports bar. They have dishes like the Taste of Italy, Chicken Spiedini, Sicilian Ribeye, and of course pizza. Since I know Peppino’s primarily for their pizza, it was difficult for me to deviate far from the comfort zone. I tried their build your own calzone and filled it with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and green olives. The beast of a calzone was incredible and not a doughy as what you might get at other pizza establishments.
I have decided that this is now my new favorite Sunday Football spot, and can’t wait to try out some of the other dishes.
