Loki - was a delightful blend of sweet blueberry and tart cherry, at the end.\ Dark Angel - had a dark blueberry sweetness with a ginger finish that was a tasty treat. Holy Grail - Had a sweet start and a dry finish that would rock with a PB & J sandwich. The Maple - special was full-flavored and a bit earthy and made me think of fall. Will be back to play the table games.

One of the new breweries in Kalamazoo's is Valhalla on Miller. Turning into the parking lot, I…read moreremembered it was previously an automotive business and I am so glad to see that the building is being used to help better Kalamazoo with another brewery. Walking in the area is open and still in need of work but you can see they are working towards that currently. We reviewed the menu and learned that this was a Meadery at heart. We didn't know this previously but think it is great because there not many of them, let alone in Kalamazoo. We scanned through the tap list and picked out 4 to try and sat down. The owner was sitting at another table with someone that sounded like somewhat of an interview. After a little while he got up and came over to our table and asked if he could sit down with us and show us the vision for the brewery. We welcomed him to join us, we really love talking with beertenders and owners when they have passion in what they do. He had a book with photos of his vision which is going to be Viking based (the name makes that obvious) with some Thor inspiration. You could hear his passion and love for the brewery and what he does when talking about the things to come which made it that much better. Everything looked super cool and I can't wait to see it once completed. The owner shared his past history prior to the brewery which was in films and music, Ben couldn't have related more to this man if he tried. LOL. Be sure to stop in now to try their tasty meads and then once their renovations have been completed, we will be following them on social media to see their progress.

The placed was PACKED, but we waited less than 5 minutes for a table of 5ppl. There were other people in line too. The Bad: Food took a minute to comeout, but it camout good. Expect to sit close to other people, so if you are a covid freak, just stay at home... please dont ruin it for the rest of us. What to try: Try their spicy garlic wings. It was my favorite there. Their sweet potato fries is good (sucks they didnt have good caramel sauce). I'd go back for their burger. All in all, it was a great experience. Overall 5 stars Food 5 Atmosphere 5 Service 5

Our server brought over some free popcorn and we ordered drinks. They had some deals going on ($1.50 off New Belgium beers). There were plenty of TVs to watch and the vibe was pleasant. As it got busier, our server disappeared more, but we weren't in a hurry. We got the small order of southwest nachos for a snack to share - these were really good. I was kind of surprised at how small the order was honestly, but it was fine to split between the two of us. The chips were crispy, the toppings were plentiful, and I loved the cheesiness. Overall we had a good experience and I'd stop in again to catch a game.

We were seated right away and our server was very attentive. We started with the cheese curds and some beers. The selection of beers was huge! Beers are reasonably priced and the curds were delicious. Wasn't a huge fan of the ranch, but the marinara was very flavorful. I got the small southwest nachos. It was still big enough for 2 meals. These were amazing! The queso is made from scratch and really elevates the dish. All other ingredients were fresh and delicious. My friend had the dill club sandwich and said it was great as well! Overall a fantastic experience. Would definitely return.

So the food was catered buffet vs traditional ordering off the menu. They had a robust buffet but I only remember the nachos, sliders, and Mac'n cheese. Nachos were surprisingly good with homemade guacamole. Sliders were all pre-wrapped but hit the spot with an Oberon after a long day sitting in presentations. Mac'n cheese could've had a little more pizzazz but that probably because I make a mean one at home. All in all I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors and offerings from this bar menu. Servers were attentive and quick with refills (that was probably because it was an open bar). Cute space with lots of different seating options.
