“I'm surprised I've never written a review for Bell's as I've been there several times over the years. Nate and I were in town for the weekend recently and we actually went to Bell's twice in two days. The first visit we shared a couple of flights and a snack, and then we did the brewery tour the next day. It seems that Bell's is pretty much always busy but it's a big space, and they have a nice outdoor beer garden for warmer months. We found a table right away and ordered their two options of flights. One featured sours and darker beers, and one was more of their mainstays. It was nice to be able to try some options this way, but I prefer being able to build my own flight. Not sure if that's an option here, but it was pretty busy so we just went with it. The menu has lots of tasty options! We went with the popcorn (brown butter, garlic, salt, and pepper) and a featured item, the brat. That came with fries or a salad which was nice - we went with the salad. I always love options. The beers were all tasty and I think you can find something for everyone there. The food was really good! I LOVED the popcorn. It's one of my favorite snacks and theirs is delicious. The brat was fine, it definitely needed a bit of a char on a flat top/grill. The next day we arrived for the tour right on time but the group had already started. That's okay as we caught up with them quickly. You can reserve online ahead of time but our group was only four people. (I'd still make a reservation. The tour is free.) The tour guide was knowledgeable and funny, and you get three beer samples throughout the tour. There's a store where you can get to-go beer and lots of merch - it has its own Yelp page! Bell's is a great stop for any beer lover.“
“This place opens so early it’s great. I foresee myself coming here simply for some drinks or breakfast after I work night shift. Staff is crazy friendly. Food was great for the most part. Was surprised by the lamb chops, not the best. But also had their sample plate with calamari and that was incredible. Little oily but cooked like perfectly. I’d come here solely just to eat that.“
“Would prefer to have waitstaff rather than going to the bar to order drinks and food. The server on duty was very friendly and up front that she was the only one working. This does seem to be a trend. Pizza and brews were good. Fun atmosphere and vibe... always a plus with live music!“
“My husband and I stopped in to share a burger tonight. I had been here before, he had not. Neither of us had the burger before. It was amazing. Perfectly seasoned! The fries were delicious, not salty, also perfectly seasoned. Rachel was an awesome server, very attentive, without hovering, she had great recommendations, and she was incredibly friendly! The prices are great, we love the decor, the food is phenomenal, it was just an overall great night at the Hub!!! We will definitely be returning!“
“Not one, single complaint! Everything was absolutely AMAZING! We were sitter right next to the fireplace, they had lighting that added such value to the ambiance, and JACKLYN…idk where they found her but her service was TOP NOTCH!! What an amazing component our date night!!“
“THE BEST PIZZA IN KALAMAZOO!! i moved here with my partner a few years ago and we have tried pretty much every pizza place. this place blows them all out of the water!! INCREDIBLE and never disappoints. service is great, pizza is delicious, and it's local!“
“A memorable place to play billiards and hang out near/ around campus. Fun crowd and cheap prices. You'll like the decor, the student staff and games. Had good times on class breaks and sometimes when games where in town. A campus tradition for groups/ clubs and Greek organizations.“
“If you're concerned about getting what you ordered, exactly, then this is the place for you. This place has a checker at the kitchen window, making sure everything is done correctly and everything written on the tickets is present before it gets taken to your table. Food is always excellent and service is great.“
“As someone who has a lot of trouble feeling safe and comfortable in bars I had a great time. I went with some friends on a Wednesday for their karaoke and we had a blast. It wasn’t super busy and the vibes of the room and staff were warm and friendly. We had cheese bread and a few drinks, the cheese bread was fantastic i could NOT get enough! I am a “blue tropical drink” girlie and got exactly what I wanted in their Blue Hawaiian.“
“Our waitress was very good. Unfortunately, my wife and I both ordered the Perch basket. The Perch were bad. Had almost no flavor and the consistency of cardboard. The French fries on the other hand, were quite good. We thought the price was rather high considering the poor quality of the fish.“
“Stopped in here with friends for St. Patrick's Day and had a nice dinner and shared some laughs with people I hadn't seen in forever. Love O'Duffy's gorgeous bar, the Spinach Feta burger, the drinks...so many awesome evenings with friends being naughty. If you know, you know! The place also has an amazing upstairs, COSMO'S!!!! I was there for opening day at Cosmo's back in day!!! Best bacon to this day EVER!!!“
