Build an evening in Kalamazoo, MI around dinner followed by cocktails, beer or games. Start at Ray Ray's Italian Beef & Sausage for barbecue, Italian-style sandwiches and hot dogs in a compact, counter-service setting decorated with Chicago sports memorabilia. Cairo's Kitchen offers another dinner route: Egyptian street food, including shawarma, falafel and koshary, with halal, vegan and vegetarian options. It closes at 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday; Ray Ray's stays open until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Studio Grill belongs earlier in the day, serving stuffed burgers and other comfort food alongside vegan options before its daily 2:30 p.m. close. After dinner, choose Alley Cat for cocktails, happy-hour offerings and entertainment that includes karaoke, trivia and live music. One Well Brewing pairs beer with food and games at an on-site bar. For a Friday or Saturday finish, Alley Cat stays open until 1 a.m., while One Well Brewing closes at midnight.
