Kalamazoo
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Kalamazoo, Michigan
Kalamazoo, Michigan has a real claim to craft-beer fame as the home of Bell's Brewery, one of the most influential craft breweries in the country, and BarFinder's data backs that reputation up: of 107 venues here, breweries and brewpubs together make up a sizable share alongside classic bars, sports bars, and pubs. Local names like Latitude 42 Brewing Company, Tibbs Brewing Company, and Olde Peninsula Brewpub & Restaurant round out a genuinely deep beer scene, while The SugarBowl Bar and Grille and Bates Alley cover the classic bar side. Few mid-size Midwestern cities can match Kalamazoo's brewing pedigree.
