What players say

New spot on Bates Alley in Kalamazoo! The food and drinks are well-priced and affordable for everyone. The atmosphere brings a fun, lively vibe, making it a great place to relax and hang out. The space features two bars, a pool table, and a spacious patio.

★★★★★ Vince, May 2026

Place is perfect. Clean dive bar vibe. Menu is simple, but food is amazing. Touch tunes, pull tabs, pool table. Everything is perfect.

★★★★★ Tim, Jul 2026

Instantly becomes one of Kzoo’s coolest bars. Great drinks, food is delicious, atmosphere is 1977 country club, in the best possible way. My first visit was so magical, we went back the next day. My new life goal is to grow old as a regular of this bar (fueled by bourbon and chili cheese dip).
