Nick Ahn

What isn't good here? Rotating beer taps with special feature days, great food upstairs, and the stock exchange ! While the scrubs drive up Bud/Coors/Miller, you can drink #craftbeer at low prices!

Etienne Faverey

They have an electronic price list that looks like trade board on the New York Stock exchange . The prices fluctuate based on how many people order a particular beer . Mine was only $2.75 for a pint.

Rhiannon Zielinski

My favorite place to go out in Kalamazoo. Great during the week for dinner and a couple drinks upstairs, then come back on the weekends to drink and play pool in the lower level.

Anne Holcomb

Fajita nacho appetizer is a great deal, it's huge enough for 2 meals. You can get it with steak or chicken , or if you are vegetarian ask them to serve it with their black bean and corn relish ...yum

Remo Malarik

THE best place to go for beers ! Even if you don't like beer , it's worth a visit... especially in the evening when the "Beer Exchange" crashes ;)

Lee Cohen

It's awesome how they do the prices like a stock market because when the market crashes the beers are great prices on top of the many choices of beer

Alex Klieger

I went before the stock exchange part of the night, but the Mac and cheese is great. Recommend it with mushrooms . Big selection of Lagunitas !

Sarah Lee

Here's the deal about the stock exchange : The more people buy, the higher the price of the beer becomes. Periodically the stock market will crash & all the beers will drop in price! $3 or less

Kara Miyasato

Yes, this is a beer place, but if you decide you want a Red Bull , beware. They only have Monster which they'll give you without telling you when you order Red Bull . That should be against the rules.

Jeremiah Cosner

Stouts and stock exchange style pricing. Cool spot for pinball too!

Lisa Grzanka

Great beer selection and fun price concept. Wait to order your 2nd round til the 'stock market crash'. Don't order nachos or pizza . Yuck!

Brian Montgomery

The concept alone is worth the trip.. Once your there buy low and keep buying low..If you don't mind drinking several different beers its awesome!!

Jason Norman

Nachos w fried pita chips ? Wrong. It's just my opinion, but the nachos are a train wreck. I mean, how do you f up nachos ? Somehow KBE managed it. Get a fried pickle instead. Your mouth will thank you.

Angie Bennett

Amazing staff , wonderful food, solid beer selection , one of our favorite placed to frequent.

Selena

Steak nachos are better than chix nachos . The market prices are dictated by local consumer activity. Meaning, wait for a crash and order doubles if something is hot!

Keith

Step into the dungeon and have fun. See which pinball machines are rigged for free play.

Mark

The actual exchange starts at 6! Watch out for the occasional market crash when all beers hit their lowest price!

Brad Wheeling

Prices change with what the crowd is ordering. Great selection of MI breweries .

Judy Avis

Fun place with all the beer choices !

MMMM Gnashers

Beer ... friendly comfy and pleasant wait staff .

Em Reid

Onion rings are on point. Especially the spicy sauce .

Fox Barrel

The Fox Barrel Pacific Pear on draught is fantastic! Fermented using 100% pure pear-juice and Gluten-free!

Jodi Rozycki

Great beer selection . Check out the Victory Ranch beer , EXCELLENT!

Erik Thallemer

Stock market concept is genius. Great atmosphere

Trevor Mapes

Get the fried pickles ! Best batter-sauce combo in western Michigan!

Michelle Elizabeth

If you want to eat dinner go on a week night. The waitlist gets crazy long on weekends.

Robert Longstreet

Everything is good here.

Katherine

Every time I try to go to the bar when the market crashes I can't get to the bar ! Stick with the servers!

Thomas

Mac n cheese is out of this world.

Elizabeth Barker

You want the fish & chips .

Susan Mosher

Michelle is a TERRIFFIC hostess and waitress ! Happy Sweetest Day!

Bryan Cote

2 rules: never get the same beer twice in a night and never get a beer you have ever had before

Eva Klein

Their fries taste just like the ones at the fair . Awesome!

Mike Coon

Great bar ! Watch for the market crashes!

Ted Crook

Not sure why I'm the first one to announce that the nachos are F'ing AMAZING!!

Awesome Mitten

Use the price drops to try something new! Read more

Lowell

Chicken salad sandwich is awesome along with their fries

Keith

No more tasters . It'll cost you a buck fifty if you want a small pour. Booooo!

Riley Sherer

Hey, it's February 15, 2013 and your veggie burger is smaller than it was last year. What's the deal?

Jes Walker

I suggest St Benedict's Winter Ale if it's cheap !

Jeremy Weitting

Not sure about your portfolio, but the market is looking good here!

Nick Brennan

Best bar concept ever!

Joyce Tinkham

what fun. good food

Steve D

Awesome beer and the food is pending my date with Emily Borsum

Zach Jerger

The hostess here is terrible, we came to get dinner and all she said to us was "I'm not checking ids" and then proceeded to let us wait 30 mins before someone told us that there was a wait for tables

Charles Osberger

Try a bottle of Frankenmuth Hefeweizen ! #Cheers

Jason Liptow

Try the Raspberry Pear Cider

Linda Hunt

Great place

Rach Deeee

Wild mushroom Crepes are amazing!

Amelia Suarez

You always have to wait an absurdly long time with no where to sit or stand.
