Hope you’re hungry! Restaurant Week and Winter Cocktail Competition return to downtown Kalamazoo Thursday, February 16 through Sunday, February 26, 2023. With 15 unique bars and restaurants participating, now is a great time to dig in and drink up. Enjoy more than 70 fresh, new flavor combinations and a dozen specialty cocktails alongside old favorites while you sip and savor your way through downtown Kalamazoo.

Looking to try something new? Check out JungleBird, Elysium or Brick + Brine. They’ll be participating along with some iconic faves you’re sure to recognize, like Louie’s Trophy House, Harvey’s on the Mall, WL Socialhouse, and Old Burdick’s Bar & Grill. Venues will have options for one, for two, or for the table — all with special price fix menus that are sure to satisfy. When you dine-in at our one of our participating restaurants, be sure to get a parking validation slip from your server for up to two hours of free ramp parking on us.

And don’t forget the Cocktail Competition sponsored by Long Road Distillers. Try all the signature cocktails and rank your favorites as they compete for the coveted title of Best Winter Cocktail.
We’d like to thank our generous sponsors for making this event possible: JungleBird, City of Kalamazoo, the Southwest Michigan First Chamber, Conan Venus and Company, Imperial Beverage, WWMT – News Channel 3, Discover Kalamazoo, and the Downtown Development Authority.
