*A Creative Vision for Southwest Michigan*
A new distillery and restaurant complex north of Kalamazoo is expanding its already impressive offerings with ambitious plans for additional entertainment venues that include a pottery studio, speakeasy, cigar bar, and bakery and cafe.
The 17,000-square-foot building already features house-made spirits and locally-sourced food, but owners have outlined an even more expansive vision for this creative hub.
What's Already Open
Current operations at the facility include a distillery producing house-made spirits and a restaurant serving locally-sourced cuisine. The venue also features "The House of Mosaic," which currently showcases Sarkozy's Hungarian Rigo Cake.
The Expansions on the Horizon
According to plans revealed in recent coverage, the property is set to grow with several new additions:
- A pottery studio focused on ceramics and hands-on art experiences
- A speakeasy continuing the prohibition-era theme
- A cigar bar for relaxation and socializing
- A bakery and cafe offering fresh baked goods and coffee
Mother-Daughter Pottery Partnership
The pottery studio component represents a special family collaboration. Rachel Mészáros is set to eventually run the café and bakery, while also teaming up with her mother, Lisa Mészáros, to operate the mother-daughter pottery studio. This partnership will bring intergenerational expertise to the local arts scene.

A Growing Food and Drink Scene
This development comes at a time when the Kalamazoo area's food and drink scene is seeing continued growth and innovation. The new complex represents another major addition to the region's culinary landscape.
The facility's focus on creativity and community aligns with what patrons have come to expect from Southwest Michigan's dining destinations. The combination of craft spirits, locally-sourced food, and now planned arts experiences creates a comprehensive entertainment venue.
Location and Details
The complex is located north of Kalamazoo, continuing to expand the city's offerings in that direction. The 17,000-square-foot space provides ample room for the current operations and future expansions.
As the pottery studio, speakeasy, cigar bar, and bakery and cafe come online, this destination will become an even more comprehensive hub for food, drink, and creative experiences in the region.
