The Gatsby
Reviews
I love this bar! The atmosphere and vibe of this place is wonderful. If you are looking for an upscale and chic lounge/dance club, then this is your spot.
The Gatsby is my favorite level of the Entertainment District. The style of 20s/30s with a hint of a modern feel to it is something different, and creates a perfect atmosphere. The bartenders are real cool guys and make great drinks, and the music mix that is played in the nightclub, is perfect for both ; people who just want to chill with friends,and who want to dance and let loose. It's classy and also a riot. It's hard to pull off such an atmosphere.
The Gatsby is unique to downtown, much different vibe than most of the other bars around. Go in for a drink and chat with an interesting new stranger, or take in the gorgeous view of downtown through the full length windows; Gives a big city vibe from the view.
This is one of my favorite places to go to in Kalamazoo. I love the environment! The speakeasy theme gives you an upscale feel and a unique experience. My friends and I love to venture up to Gatsby for a night of dancing and elegance. We usually wear a party dress to this bar! It makes the whole experience more exciting. It has a unique setting with lush and modern décor/furniture pieces, sexy lighting and an wicked cool glass fireplace near the dance floor. My advice? Bring back the food menu! The food was the BEST here--Quality met quantity and the flavor was outstanding.
The Gatsby is the best spot in downtown Kalamazoo to DJ-dance. The swanky, intimate atmosphere makes you feel like you've walked into a hoppin' prohibition-era speakeasy — straight out of the book, "The Great Gatsby." Also, there are some great bartenders here, but the guy who goes by the name "Squirrel," is particularly awesome!
