What is SILVA?

Silva is an entertainment experience located in northwest Grand Rapids — a place where you show up without a plan and leave with a handful of memories. We’re the kind of people who like to let loose, have a good time, and let our inner showman shine-and we’re putting that spirit into Silva.

The historic building we’re in isn’t the only thing we’re resurrecting. When Tootsie Van Kelly’s, a good-time, fun-time food saloon – went out of business in 1995, it left a void in our city that a lot of newcomers never got to experience. Our goal is bringing back that same sense of levity and exuberance, but make it even bigger. This will be a place where strangers become friends, where staff members are genuinely thrilled to serve guests, and first timers arrive saying, “I don’t know what’s happening right now, but I love it.”
