    It’s a nice, local bar with an incredible tap list & a great community vibe. Past tap handles adorn the ceiling.

    I come here every week for the Monday or Tuesday specials . If you like trying new beers, you'll appreciate being able to order half pints on Tuesday's ! Service is always great, pizza is awesome!

    There's a lot of things I love about this place (great prices, AMAZING pizza), but be prepared to wait if you go on a busy night. Order food ASAP & order many drinks at once. Service can take forever!

    The best staff in Kalamazoo as well as the finest pint selection. Their Sunday craft pint special is a great deal

    Mondays are a great reason to sample some of the 37 beers on tap for $2.50 a pint. Tuesdays they are $1.50 per half pint. Best deal in town. Bell's beer here cheaper that at the brewery!

    Good food. Insanely slow service. I've left here on multiple occasions having to wait just for menus or to take a drink order, and I'm about to leave yet again! No surprise, I should learn by now.

    My favorite pizza in town, hands down. Come on Wednesday for $9 one-topping special. Half-order of chicken nachos are awesome, enough for two.
