About Us
We are the Sandmeyer's
We LOVE Kalamazoo so we decided we wanted to add to it! My husband (Chris), and I were both born and raised in the Kalamazoo area. We have two young children, Brynlee (6) and Barrett (4) and constantly found ourselves looking for fun things to do with them in the area.
The concept is easy...create memories with family and friends in a super fun place! With two young kids, we constantly found ourselves searching for places to meet up with friends where the kids could play while the adults grabbed a bite to eat and a craft cocktail or beer. Our restaurant features delicious, locally sourced food that the whole family will enjoy. The bars, both inside and outside, serve craft cocktails, beer, and wine. And the main attraction, The Backyard, features 7 acres of fenced in fun!
