THEN, 10:00 hit, and it opened to the public. Yikes. Horrible DJ started and it turned a completely opposite direction. It lost its cozy and warm atmosphere to the typical 21 year old college crowd. It truly was awful. The entire party left. Keeping it a more low-key bar is SUCH a better choice. There are already enough dance clubs, but NOWHERE to sit and talk, have good drinks, and just BE with your friends. This place has far better potential. FAR.

One of my favorite bars! I try to make it to Kalamazoo a few times a year, but restaurant week is…read moredefinitely my favorite. I went this past week and their blues fest was also happening. Live performances, good food, AMAZING drinks, and wonderful staff makes the drive worth it every single time! The cocktail bar has a cool story and I love that every menu item has a feeling to it. My favorite drink for the night was from their limited edition summer menu, the electric slide was perfect and refreshing (sign my petition to get my drink on the regular menu lol), my boyfriend had an old fashioned by one of the bartenders that another couple near us said makes the best, and he indeed said it was made perfectly! (Idk what that means cause I think they're gross, but ‍), the mint julep is also a must try as their signature drink, ooo and the my prerogative is pretty tasty too. Big drinker clearly, we also tried the competition cocktail made with corn!! Sounds insane, but it was actually really good!! Okay onto the food, I have no pictures of the food because I literally inhaled it all. So here's my list of must try's as the cost is pretty reasonable, so you can really try them all. Sweet heat chicken flatbread Collard green dip Honey lemon pepper chicken salad (SOOO GOOD!!!) Peach cobbler cornbread Get my exact order and maybe a few other items and I promise you'll have love them too, can't wait to go back!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!…read more It's full of history (including ghosts!), great ideas, SUPER fun photo opps, and fantastic shows. The range of performances is incredible...every genre of music, and speakers, and movies. It's wonderful! Pros: the architecture the history the art and beauty of the inside the friendly staff the photo booth! the plentiful bathroom stalls the excellent schedule of events! Cons: the seats are sometimes broken. Bring a sweater or jacket to sit on, for comfort no elevator no AC Note: ticket office is open only one day a week, plus during events. SO: to avoid the service charges, try to go in then! Otherwise, you'll be purchasing on ticketmaster, with fees.

Parking is kind of limited, so you'll want to arrive early or if not that, plan for a short hike ;^) There was Oberon on tap, and it was served with a generous TWO orange slices in a plastic cup for $5. They also had Two Hearted and all the macros your heart could desire. I was interested in the ice cold Jägermeister machine behind the bar, but as this trip's DD, I have no opinions on that for you this time. Best of all, the lady's room wasn't disgusting at all!!! Yes, I did expect it to be. The staff was really warm too- even the door security dude. A great venue for the heavier bands that want to play locally!!!

The staff may seem rough on the outer edges, but they are all actually teddy bears once you get to know them. Usually shows are standing room only, which is a drag if you are old like me and opt not to wear orthotics. Luckily, the 9 pm encore show was seated. My old bones appreciated this. Now look below as I'm fangirling in the attached photos! I absolutely adore Alok and their courage to humorously challenge the gender binary and systematically poke holes in the patriarchal system that comprises The USA.

The lineups are often pretty diverse, now offering more local music and the addition of more free events to bring together the community. They've added vintage nights, trivia, and free pinball days which I think is a very important and necessary community good. The venue has a front half with a bar, pinball cabinets, and even some outdoor seating. The back hosts the concert venue with interior bar, seating, and elevated stage. I'm allergic to alcohol so I can't speak to the drinks nor the prices but they have free water jugs readily available which is a lifesaver during shows and is just such a small, nice feature to have access to. I definitely would recommend coming here for a concert, finding some new local music, or establishing a new hang out for your friends.

They have a large selection for any palate, and wine too. They have a great food menu but we did not try anything. I saw on Facebook where they make asparagus soup!
