Downtown Kalamazoo Social Districts

Central Commons Refreshment Area

Downtown Kalamazoo has the Central Commons Refreshment Area, an outdoor social district that allows people to bring drinks purchased from licensed establishments and take them between locations within the boundaries of the Commons area. This is a great option to enjoy your craft alcoholic beverages outdoors while supporting our local businesses.

The Northside Cultural Business District is found on the north side of Downtown Kalamazoo, creating a social district for the businesses located just outside of the Central Commons Refreshment Area. This means you can enjoy your craft beverage in even more locations of Downtown Kalamazoo! 

Sip your drink as you experience live music at Bronson Park, shop along the Kalamazoo Mall, or simply take in the vibrant public arts scene of Downtown Kalamazoo.
