Ada Garage Bar & Grill

Ada Garage Bar & Grill is the second location of the Grand Rapids original Garage Bar at 819 Ottawa Avenue NW, opened in 2021 in Ada Village at 518 Ada Drive SE. The restaurant brings the same operating playbook to a suburban village setting: great American food, hand-cut staples, specialty drinks, and a steady programming calendar built around weekend DJs and live music.

The Ada location signals one of the recurring patterns in Third Coast Development’s portfolio: a restaurant concept proven in one Grand Rapids corner gets carefully replicated in a complementary regional market, with operating leverage from the original location’s team. Ada Garage Bar is operated under 3C Restaurants, the hospitality operating company in which Third Coast Development principal Max Benedict holds an ownership stake.
