Oh my God I love this place we order pizza to go at least once a week. You can't beat the price, and the flavor is amazing. We tell all our friends about them

This is one of the best bars in Kalamazoo! The bartenders are fun - a total joy to talk to. The drinks are good and creative. There’s pool and frequently live music. The atmosphere is dark and somewhat quiet, depending on the day. The graffiti in the bathroom is actually pretty cool. Kind of a total hipster bar. Get the pizza! It’s the best around.
