About
Welcome To The Grove Spot
The Grove Spot is a “Grand Cafe” from the jolly Netherlander behind Pommes & Pane, with a sunny porch, homey exposed brick, wood, window-heavy front bar room, back dining room with a leisurely vibe, and a menu comprising breakfast, lunch, and dinner that’s continental style with an American twist — exactly what made Mr. Chubby Checkers.
Breakfast nets you American, European, and Latin-style coffees, bacon, egg & cheese hoagies, Eggs benedict, Omelets and Bangers & Eggs, while lunch slings sandwiches like the BBQ Pulled Pork; Buffalo Chicken;or their delicious 1/2 Lb Burgers.
Any time of day you can score the coveted house fries (given a secret “Dutch treatment” and cooked in a fries-only fryer) with dipping sauces like curry ketchup, garlic mayo, spicy mustard.
Salad-included dinners are all under 17 bucks, including a pan seared filet of Sole a la meuniere, the Grove Spot Beefsteak (7oz tenderloin seared in butter with a peppercorn sauce), pork tenderloin medallions seared w/ mushroom-cream sauce & lingon berries, and a breaded veal cutlet w/ red cabbage and mashed potatoes, aka, wiener schnitzel, aka, the funniest thing anyone in fourth grade has ever claimed someone else eats.
The Spot has a full liquor bar, plus tap beers like Guinness, Stella Artois, Yuengling, and their own Grove Spot Ale; a Monday - Friday happy hour from 5-8 pm and Saturday and Sunday 5-7 pm that works on almost everything — cheap enough to give you the liquid courage you’ll need to approach the nearest damsel.
We’ve got free wireless for your loitering pleasure. And you can enjoy a full menu.

I like this place...
It's homey and sets a higher standard for your typical bar dives in the Grove. I've been here a couple of times with friends and its mostly a place to kick back and lounge on a more regular basis. Don't get me wrong, on any given weekend this place is up and happening, but I rather go when it isn't so I can grab one of their board games, order a glass of wine with a friend and chill and enjoy the good music while owning at some serious backgammon games.
The happy hour has some really good specials. This place is great for an after dinner drink.

Alumni happy hour
I held an alumni happy hour at The Grove Spot last week and it was the perfect location. Our group was able to take over the back room, which has its own bar. The space has a good mix of seating: bar, high tops, low tops, and couches. The primary feature of The Grove Spot that will inspire me to hold another event here was the staff. Each and every one of them was so friendly and really went out of their way to be helpful. From making sure that we had drinks, to adjusting the timing on our food to accomodate for our fashionably late start, to providing personalized music to our preferences, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks so much and I look forward to being back!

I like the Local atmosphere!
I have been going here pretty regularly. It is the first bar in the grove when I walk in from my house...(So easy!) The drinks are quite cheap but the atmosphere is great. I have done the group of 10 getting drinks here, and the one other friend grabbing a glass of wine. It is great for either!
I had the spring rolls, they are decent. Happy hour prices are great.
This is great spot in the grove, because there are no trashy college students puking outside, the crowd is kinda local and really chill. It's the type of place where the bartender has a conversation with the customer.
Great! This really is the G-Spot

We just call it Olav's, and I love it.
This is his new location, just up the street form the old location. And I am proud to state: they still have the best BLT in TOWN! and the best fries. Make sure to ask for the garlic mayonnaise. Also, the red beer is good, try it. I have been going to Olav's for over 5 years, at least (I am thinking... my son was born when..).
Staff is totally cool and very kind! Another reason I love this place, everyone who works there is really nice, no joke.
Lot's of outside seating for the soon to come cool nights of the dry season. Lastly, they do have a good happy hour. If you live in the Grove or just like the Grove, this is a good place to hang with friends.
See ya there,
