Old Burdick's Downtown is Gearing Up for an Exciting Revamp!
After over 30 years in downtown Kalamazoo, Old Burdick’s Bar & Grill is ready for a refreshed look and feel. To make it happen, we’ll be temporarily closing our doors following service on Saturday, December 21, 2024, for a complete renovation and brand refresh.

Our renovated space will feature an expanded dining area to accommodate more guests and events, including two fully private dining rooms—perfect for hosting your gatherings and celebrations.
