Best UM bar in Kalamazoo?

Submitted by BlueKoj on

My wife needs a weekend away from the kids. We're leaving Ann Arbor and heading to Kalamzoo for the afternoon and night. We're golfing Sunday morning, but I need a good place to watch the Minnesota game...suggestions?

Thanks!

Up and Unders, great grimy sports bar! There really isnt a "UofM" bar, grew up here my whole life and I prefer the chill atmosphere of Ups.

My go to places to watch a game are Old Burdicks ( which would be very convenient from the Raddison) or The wayside (about 5 min outside of downtown by car). For a more unique Kalamazoo bar experience, before or after the game, definitely check out Bells, Arcadia and/or The Beer Exchange. I am told that Arcadia has really good meat, but I haven't tried eating there yet. Food Dance is great, has sort of a Zingermans vibe and even uses some of their products. Enjoy the Zoo!

Thanks to all. I'm sure we'll have a good time. Walking distance from the hotel will likely be our secondary guide. Old Burdicks may be the lead choice, but we may stop in at the others as well.

GO BLUE!
