This is a "dive bar" review so the 4 stars is only meant to reflect how this place compares to…read moreother similar establishments and not as a restaurant (although it does have bar food which we saw coming out of the kitchen but we didn't order any). The atmosphere was fun and, being in a college town, was populated by your typical mix of college kids ranging from your stoner pseudo-hippies, to your hat-on-backwards loud talking "bros". It was a football weekend so there were a lot of out of towners and other people ranging in age from early 20's to 50's. They had live music which was really good although probably a little too folksy for some people's taste but it was still a lot of fun. Bottom line: If you like dive bars with a predominately college crowd (as opposed to a working man's neighborhood bar) then you will like this place.

What a cool place! I'm unsure what it has to do with Shakespeare (I thought there would be some…read moresort of theme, but didn't seem apparent). The service was great! We were seated right away and our server was very attentive. We started with the cheese curds and some beers. The selection of beers was huge! Beers are reasonably priced and the curds were delicious. Wasn't a huge fan of the ranch, but the marinara was very flavorful. I got the small southwest nachos. It was still big enough for 2 meals. These were amazing! The queso is made from scratch and really elevates the dish. All other ingredients were fresh and delicious. My friend had the dill club sandwich and said it was great as well! Overall a fantastic experience. Would definitely return.

Our server brought over some free popcorn and we ordered drinks. They had some deals going on ($1.50 off New Belgium beers). There were plenty of TVs to watch and the vibe was pleasant. As it got busier, our server disappeared more, but we weren't in a hurry. We got the small order of southwest nachos for a snack to share - these were really good. I was kind of surprised at how small the order was honestly, but it was fine to split between the two of us. The chips were crispy, the toppings were plentiful, and I loved the cheesiness. Overall we had a good experience and I'd stop in again to catch a game.

The food here is generally always served with pride. Not sure what is going on in kitchen. These meals were overpriced, for what came out of their kitchen.

The part of town may not be the best but I've never felt unsafe here and they have a nice sized parking lot and there is also street parking available. Actually, the area appeared to be a lot nicer than when I first came here 8-9 years ago. The service is also good whether you are at a table, outside or the patio are inside.

The Dark and Stormys were a bit sweeter than I'm used to - I'm guessing that they used lime syrup instead of lime juice but the good news is that I like my cocktails sweet.

Unfortunately, when we visited this most recent time, the market was not working so I ordered a flight with my dinner. It did eventually start up as we were getting ready to leave, and everything was super high so we didn't participate in the fun. I ordered the Honey Chicken sandwich with the cheese curds and it was honestly delicious. The chicken was good and a perfect blend of savory and sweet, the sandwich came with lettuce, freezer pickle and ranch. The cheese curds were surprisingly some of the best I've had and were perfect with a bit of ranch. I'd have the meal again and hopefully next time, the exchange is up and running! :)

I was really excited they had some gluten free drink options on the menu! I got a seltzer for my first drink (delicious) and a cider for my second.

The chips were great too and our bartender suggested we get their french onion dip too. Also delicious. The service was great and friendly and the vibe overall was really enjoyable. Don't often head out to Kalamazoo, but would definitely stop by again if I was in the area!

First things first. I have to address why I was so sad after this visit. I TOTALLY FORGOT they have…read moremini cocktail flights. I was so excited about this option when I saw it on Instagram but there is so little mention of it in the menu (basically an, "ask us about our mini cocktail flight" at the bottom of a page) and no leaflet showing the flight details or price. I'm very much a person that likes to try a little bit for everything so once I remembered it after we left, I had a moment. I got a Gin Fizz and the bf got a Blueberry Vanilla Mule. The gin Fizz tasted very much like lemonade, even with the addition of cran flavoring. The Blueverry Vanilla Mule was very strongly clove. If you like clove, you'd likely like that one. We decided against getting second cocktails since happy hour had ended, but got a flight to try their stuff. We like the liqueurs but they are hard to sip straight due to all the flavor they pack. Our favorite was the Pink Peppercorn Gin out of everything we tried. We would definitely come back, but please print out the cocktail flight list or at least suggest it if people are hemming and hawing over what to get like I was.

The tour is $20 and it comes with a flight, which we were going to try anyway. Or you can just do the tour for $10 if you don't want a flight. It's not much of a "tour" in a physical sense as their production facility is small, in just one room, but we learned a lot about distilling in general, as well as a lot of information about the company and their products. I'd highly recommend it especially if you don't know much about the company. The interior has a 20s speakeasy feel, which I really liked. It's a little fancy but comfortable and welcoming. The drink menu was pretty large and it was tough for me to choose which drink I wanted after the flight. I ended up with the blueberry margarita because it was on happy hour. It was really great! Not too sweet. Nate got the cherry black Manhattan which we both enjoyed too. I loved the flight because we got to try pretty much all of the spirit offerings, including their amaro, Oaxacan green corn bourbon, and pink peppercorn gin, which were all unique and very tasty. Our bartender was knowledgable and very kind - great service. I'll definitely be back!

Not many ppl there in the restaurant . They sat us at the smallest grouping of tables they had. Several 2 toppers put together. It was uncomfortably crowded and we were up close against the wall. We waited a bit for a server- when he did come he didn't know the answers to a couple of questions (kinds of scotch, beer on tap) and wasn't interested in finding out for us. So 2 of our folks went to the bar to find out - no luck. After a couple of minutes- they came back to the table without any more info. The bartender never acknowledged them. Eventually another server was sent and the evening progressed much more smoothly. Food was good.
