Kalamazoo's First Brewpub!

Welcome to Olde Peninsula Brewpub and Restaurant, Kalamazoo's first Brewpub, opened on St. Patrick's Day in 1996. Previously known as the "Big Corner," this three story structure was built by Nicholas Bauman in 1874 as the Peninsula Restaurant.

This elegant restaurant gave way to the Franklin and Folz clothing store from 1884 to 1924. Through the years, the building housed a succession of business, including the Kalamazoo Stove Company, a book bindery, and a hotel. It became the headquarters for W.R. Biggs/Gilmore Agency in 1973. Severely damaged by the 1980 tornado, the building was completely rehabilitated in 1980-81. The current owners, Marie and Steve Blinn, wish to bring back a piece of history for all of Kalamazoo to enjoy. We are proud to offer the freshest beer available, brewed on-site in our 7-barrel Brewhouse. On behalf of all of our staff, we hope you relax and enjoy your experience at Olde Peninsula.

I was a little concerned because they were not too busy on a Friday night, but we had great service, and the food was really good. I had the fried perch and chips--excellent, fresh, piping hot. Fun to try their crafted beer.

The simple house special burger took about an hour to make. And when it came to the table had like 6 fries on it. When I cut into it was cold. Open pit barbque was watered down. Bun was soggy and 1/2 piece of bacon. Was. Scattered on top of the single cheeses of cheddar. Taste of water

Spicy Buffalo chicken wrap is a misnomer. It was horrible did not taste like Buffalo sauce at all and very overpowering with blue cheese. That in itself was enough for me to not want to come back.

We were in a big hurry and the waitress was wonderful about expediting our meal. The chicken nachos were really good. The ambience was cozy and overall it was a lovely experience.

We had a reservations for 5:45 and was seated right away. We were going across the street for a movie that started at 7:10. My husband ordered the rib special and I ordered a side salad. After 30 minutes we asked about our food because we didn't want to be late to the movie. We waited 15 more minutes for our food and had to shove it down our throat so we weren't late to the movie. Didn't make for an enjoyable dinner when we felt rushed to eat. My husband got a cream soda and it wasn't very good so he switched to a root beer. Wasn't as good as in the past.

The waiter was rude and our food took well over hour. When it came out my burger was half raw and half over cooked . Everyone who came in after us was gone by the time our food came out. 5 times he said he would check on our food and not once did he come back with an update. We were excited when we found this place because there is not a lot in the area around western Michigan University. We will never go back!
