About Rusty Nail Sports Deck
Rusty Nail Sports Deck is Kalamazoo's premier rooftop sports bar — a multilevel venue that overlooks the city's downtown and packs out with Kalamazoo Wings hockey fans on AHL game nights and Red Wings fans during playoff pushes. The rooftop deck is Kalamazoo's finest outdoor drinking spot on summer evenings, and the extensive Michigan craft beer list gives fans plenty to work through between periods. Western Michigan Broncos fans returning from Ann Arbor make it their debriefing headquarters on rivalry game Saturdays.
Located in Kalamazoo.
