Old Dog Tavern - Kalamazoo, MI

a little about us

*

Old Dog Tavern opened in 2010 as a place for people to gather and enjoy a cold drink, a hot meal, and a night out. The building has been many things since its doors originally opened in the late 1800s: a paper company, a candy company, a brewery, and now, a revitalized music venue. The indoor space is no stranger to live music, as those who remember Kraftbrau know well, and shortly after re-opening as Old Dog, an outdoor stage and backyard area were added to the property. We take pride not only in providing some of the best pub food and drink in town, but also supporting local and regional artists who need a place to display their talent. 

 We believe having a place to gather and spend time with friends, old and new, is important to building community, and strive to be that place for Kalamazoo. Our goal is to be the place you want to be.

Whether you’re looking for a place to rent out for a private event or just to meet up and grab some grub, we’ve got you covered. We have options varying in size and level of service depending on what you need. Rent the indoor space for a corporate holiday party, the back bar for a birthday celebration, or just stake a claim at one of our tables for the evening. We also offer catering for private events, offering on- and off-menu items.
