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!
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.
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.
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
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 ;)
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
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 !
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
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.
Stouts and stock exchange style pricing. Cool spot for pinball too!
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!
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!!
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.
Amazing staff , wonderful food, solid beer selection , one of our favorite placed to frequent.
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!
Step into the dungeon and have fun. See which pinball machines are rigged for free play.
The actual exchange starts at 6! Watch out for the occasional market crash when all beers hit their lowest price!
Prices change with what the crowd is ordering. Great selection of MI breweries .
Fun place with all the beer choices !
Beer ... friendly comfy and pleasant wait staff .
Onion rings are on point. Especially the spicy sauce .
The Fox Barrel Pacific Pear on draught is fantastic! Fermented using 100% pure pear-juice and Gluten-free!
Great beer selection . Check out the Victory Ranch beer , EXCELLENT!
Stock market concept is genius. Great atmosphere
Get the fried pickles ! Best batter-sauce combo in western Michigan!
If you want to eat dinner go on a week night. The waitlist gets crazy long on weekends.
Everything is good here.
Every time I try to go to the bar when the market crashes I can't get to the bar ! Stick with the servers!
Mac n cheese is out of this world.
You want the fish & chips .
Michelle is a TERRIFFIC hostess and waitress ! Happy Sweetest Day!
2 rules: never get the same beer twice in a night and never get a beer you have ever had before
Their fries taste just like the ones at the fair . Awesome!
Great bar ! Watch for the market crashes!
Not sure why I'm the first one to announce that the nachos are F'ing AMAZING!!
Use the price drops to try something new! Read more
Chicken salad sandwich is awesome along with their fries
No more tasters . It'll cost you a buck fifty if you want a small pour. Booooo!
Hey, it's February 15, 2013 and your veggie burger is smaller than it was last year. What's the deal?
I suggest St Benedict's Winter Ale if it's cheap !
Not sure about your portfolio, but the market is looking good here!
Best bar concept ever!
what fun. good food
Awesome beer and the food is pending my date with Emily Borsum
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
Try a bottle of Frankenmuth Hefeweizen ! #Cheers
Try the Raspberry Pear Cider
Great place
Wild mushroom Crepes are amazing!
You always have to wait an absurdly long time with no where to sit or stand.
Excellent craft cocktails and a great range of appetizers. Unique spot that doesn't disappoint - Zak Hill
The beef nachos ate a great deal and the small can be shared with 2 ppl for a snack or the large for a meal for up to 3 - Jes Walker
Food is a total surprise--all of it 97% fresh! And even things you would never bother with at a bar--like salads--are amazingly good. Excellent beer selection, super friendly service. DO IT. - Chris Nagle
Excellent beer selection. Home to the Two-Hearted IPA, one of the top beers in the nation. The Oberon and Kalamazoo stout were fantastic, too. Reasonably priced to boot. - Brittany Linder
great people, great service....a diamond in the ruff! - Courtney Slater
Modern dance music, reasonable drinks, and it's pretty cool that you can walk through District Square and hang out there or go to Monaco Bay, Sky Deck and The Gatsby. I enjoy going there! - Lori G
