Write a review
Old Burdick's Bar and Grill is a lively, casual spot located right in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo. Situated inside the Radisson Plaza Hotel, it's just steps from several popular music venues and offers a comfortable, sports-bar-style atmosphere with a modern twist. Known for its energetic vibe and crowd-pleasing American menu, it's a go-to choice for locals and travelers alike looking for a solid meal before or after the show.
With its prime downtown location, Old Burdick's is ideal for grabbing dinner or drinks before heading to a nearby concert. The service is known to be quick and friendly, making it easy to fit in a bite without worrying about missing the opening act. Even when it's busy, the staff keeps things moving smoothly. The atmosphere is upbeat and social, but not too loud to hold a conversation, making it a great place to get in the mood for a night of live music.
Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable often praise the diverse menu, with favorites like burgers, flatbreads, and loaded fries. The bar boasts a strong beer selection, including local Michigan brews, and the TVs make it a popular choice on game nights. Guests mention the large, open dining space and appreciate that it's family-friendly without sacrificing a fun, adult vibe. Many call it a "go-to spot" before shows or events downtown.
Some diners note that wait times can get a bit long during peak hours, especially on event nights—so it’s best to arrive early. A few reviews mention that while the food is solid, it’s more about reliable comfort than gourmet flair. If you're looking for something more upscale or quiet, you might want to explore other options.
Old Burdick’s is a perfect pre-show stop for hearty American food, a laid-back vibe, and a location that keeps you close to the music.
