Spotlight: The SugarBowl
What's New Kzoo · Updated Nov 2, 2026
Kalamazoo's Oldest Neighborhood Dive Bar.
We created a space that we would want to hang out at. It's the music we'd want to see live.
Hannah Rice, Co-Owner
Open since 1943, the SugarBowl is one of Kalamazoo's oldest bars. When Andy Craigo and Hannah Rice took over in 2022, they kept it a dive bar and brought the fun back - live music, bingo nights, and stacked burgers you can get at an affordable price point.
