However I appreciated the efforts that the bar tenders made to keep everyone served! I had two tasty drinks, a French 75, which if you had not had before is a light and refreshing tasty drink! I love the hint of lemon! For my next drink, I had, well the drink is nameless, I told the bar tender that I am not pickey and to surprise me with a fun drink that came with the glass cover. I ended up with a tasty, coconut cream soda ish drink. This was a great experience and I would recommend checking them out if you are in the area

I'm a sucker for a French 75 - their version was light, crisp, and perfect for a summer day. We had the pot of gold (lump crab) and whipped goat cheese spread for appetizers, the latter of which was my favorite. I loved the fresh flavors & sprinkle of pistachios. For dinner, I ordered the Carbonara Bucatini and it was so delicious. My brother and sister in law both ordered the filet and finished every bite. I'm an out of towner, but I'd definitely visit again!

I cannot say enough good things about Principle. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the indoor space was perfectly lit, warm, and cozy.

I went for a friend's birthday and we had a large group that they were able to accommodate. The grilled zucchini was phenomenal and I had the swordfish for dinner was loved it. Peanut butter banana split was a great way to end the night. Some people had wine, mocktails, and cocktails and everyone enjoyed their drink. Overall great experience and would go here again for a meal! This spot is right downtown so parking wasn't ideal, but downtown Kalamazoo parking isn't bad, so we only had about a 5 minute walk to dinner.

Prologue - Before we had demigods, holidays, causes and religions, we had observable nature. Our…read morestories explored who we are through the animal kingdom we observed around us. Villains were snakes, aggressively territorial and quick to spread venom. Heroes were underdogs, and sometimes are today. In this early literary space, a bird represented a creature gifted with the ability to live between two worlds. They could walk on the movement of earth, and fly on the breath of the wind. They often held spiritual qualities. In the case of a Robin, the early bird catches the worm. This spiritual place is not your typical cocktail bar, which is limited to movements on earth. The fearlessness of the Robin is stamped into every corner, spun in every drink, and found in the heart of those who love this place. What is this place? It's an adventure that's waiting in a glass, served with class. It's witty banter of quick witted birds. It's the boldness to standout, be clever, and be inclusive in the journey. It's a safe space to stay awhile and listen to the songs of a Stamped Robin, whose tales equal enlightenment and drinks equal spiritual refreshment. Thank you for your craft.

Did you know there is a speakeasy in Holland?…read more Right below Butch's Dry Dock downtown Holland you can find a small dim lit cocktail bar! You can go to their website to get on the email list for the password each week or you can go to the host stand at Butch's and ask if there is available seating "downstairs". The two times I've done this, the host always understands. They pick up the phone and call downstairs to see if there's any open spots and let us go down there. There are stairs or you can take the elevator to the basement level. After you've arrived downstairs you can find the door with the black lock symbol and KNOCK THREE TIMES. They will let you in and welcome you to find a seat. They have a water station where you can help yourself and some tables and a couch and bar seating. The menu is pretty fantastic. I haven't had a drink that I dislike yet! The prices are a bit elevated but that's okay for a fancy drink imo. Hope you check out this gem if you're ever in Holland and want to go on a little adventure to find this place! My only complaint is the basement area smells a little funky but inside the bar was fine. But otherwise it's totally amazing and worth the experience! The people working here are great too! So kind'

It's below Butch's Dry Dock downtown, and you either have to email them to ask for a password, or stop by Butch's host desk and ask for 'a table downstairs'. They give you instructions then. The five of us all tried something different, from cocktails with absinthe and flaming sugar cubes, to vodka infused fruity drinks, and even a simple red wine. Our bartender had been working here for a couple years, so he knew the specials and was quick with his work. A real mix of customers from a college student to a couple of workmates, our family, and another group of friends further back. It's a small place which makes it cozy but a little hard to get into at times; we had to wait 20 minutes for enough free seats. We'll be back; it was fun!

I do understand that they serve specialty cocktails, so maybe that's why everything took so long and we were in a large group. However, when my drink was empty, the server took orders of the people sitting next to me at my table and then walked away without asking me if I wanted anything. I had to flag her down later for another drink, which I usually feel rude for doing. Overall, it just felt like the servers weren't very attentive, but the drinks were good and the people that had food liked it so I would come back!
