The Story of SpeakEZ
“Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.” – W.C. Fields
SpeakEZ Lounge opened its doors to the public in February, 2012 and was named for our Founder, Eric “EZ” Albertson. With subtle hints of the prohibition-era “speakeasy” pubs, SpeakEZ Lounge boasts classic cocktails, worldly cuisine, and plenty of fine craft beers. But SEZ doesn’t stop there.
We are the HOME for World Football. You can catch every Premier League match here (even the 7:00am matches). We are proud supporters of the Grand Rapids Chapter of the American Outlaws; local supporter group for US Men’s & Women’s soccer.
Though we love soccer, we also proudly host watch parties for the Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, & Pistons.

With a stellar selections of grilled sandwiches, fresh salads, delicious appetizers and creative and unique entrees as well as specialties to suit vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets; we’re sure you’ll find a few favorites that will make you a SpeakEZ regular in no time (no secret password required)!
