About
Kalamazoo, MI
New Years Eve Pub Crawls
Kalamazoo has one of the best craft beer and bar cultures in Michigan, which is saying something given the state’s strength in that department. The Burdick Street area and the downtown corridor around it offer a concentration of independently owned bars and brewpubs that make this one of the most genuinely interesting pub crawl destinations in the Midwest.
Our Kalamazoo New Years Eve Pub Crawl moves through downtown Kalamazoo, stopping at venues that represent the best of what this city has to offer. Whether you are a Kalamazoo local who knows every bar on the route or a visitor discovering the city for the first time, the venues we partner with deliver a strong NYE experience.
December in Kalamazoo is legitimately cold. Michigan winters are real and New Years Eve is no exception. But the bar culture here is built for winter, the venues are warm and well-staffed, and the local crowd that comes out on December 31st is enthusiastic and welcoming. Kalamazoo does community-oriented celebrating well.
Our hosts manage the downtown route efficiently. Specials are confirmed at every stop, the midnight countdown is organized, and the wristband system means you spend zero time dealing with cover charges or door lists. Show up and enjoy what one of Michigan’s best bar towns offers on its one of the biggest night.
