The Agitated Grape Bar & Bistro
Wine Bar & Bistro · Davison, MI
Spotlight updated: June 29, 2026
The Agitated Grape Bar & Bistro is a one-of-a-kind "Made in Michigan" establishment nestled in a historic 140-year-old brick building in the heart of Old Downtown Davison. What makes this spot truly special is its unwavering commitment to Michigan: every wine, craft beer, whiskey, and cocktail on the menu is sourced exclusively from Michigan producers. The bistro menu features gourmet pizzas, charcuterie boards, artisanal mac-n-cheese, fry bread tacos, and a popular weekend brunch — all crafted to pair perfectly with the state's finest pours. Whether you're sipping a flight of Traverse City wines, sampling a rotating selection of local craft beers, or digging into a beer-and-bacon mac-n-cheese, The Agitated Grape delivers a warm, neighborhood atmosphere that keeps locals coming back.
Why This Week's Pick

It's a place where community, craft, and Michigan pride come together under one roof — in a building that's been part of Davison for over a century. If you haven't been, this is your sign to check it out.
