Smash Wine Bar & Bistro

Good small plates, excellent entrees, good prices and comfortable ambiance. Would have given it 5 stars but our server made us feel a little rushed. Still highly recommend.

Smash wine bar is the perfect casual date night spot. We went here to celebrate our engagement and found the best restaurant to just hang out, sip on wine, and relax. We stayed for hours and were never rushed by the staff. We ordered a wine flight and were very pleased. They had tablets that explain in depth each wine and its comparisons. This was very helpful because we actually learned a little about wine while enjoying it. We also ordered food and were not let down. The perfect sharable snacks or entrees that paired well with wine. All their food items were local too! We ended us loving the wine so much we purchased a bottle to take home and found that it’s $ 10 off the listed bottle price. Nice little surprise. Overall, it was a perfect experience and highly recommend Smash.

Yesterday was my second visit to SMASH in a year and it was another great visit. The stuffed mushrooms were perfect and the bacon and onion flatbread was delish. Drinks were awesome (full bar and wine). Had the butterscotch cheesecake, was a hit.
Service is great, awesome location especially with the holiday music/​décor. This is a hidden jem if you haven’t tried it yet, you should!

I wanted to love Smash, I truly did. I love supporting local and I consider myself a bit of a foodie. The setting was beautiful and our service was great, the wine list awesome! The food, sadly, was lacking. We tried the caramel drizzled figs with a lemon mascarpone, strawberry preserves and prosciutto, the presentation was lovely but the flavors did not meld well, our, very kind, server took them off our bill. We then moved onto the hummus, good but nothing great and the stuffed button mushrooms which were also decent but given the beauty of Smash, they still seemed to be missing something. We then moved onto the Indian wrap and the goat cheese and porcini stuffed chicken linguine. The Indian wrap again was nothing terribly special and the linguine was tasty but truly came off as nothing more than chicken Alfredo. I refuse to give up on Smash as I think there’s a ton of potential but, I could not give a great review on this visit, of even one of the five separate dishes tried. My apologies if this seems harsh, I hope the next time is better.

This is an excellent new addition to the downtown Muskegon culinary and social scene. They have a large and varied drink menu, including many superb wines. The seasonal menu items are expertly prepared and delicious. The décor and atmosphere are fabulous, and the service is always beyond excellent.
