Why Dabney & Co. Is The Place to Be for the Holidays
When the snow starts to fall and the air carries that unmistakable holiday spark, there’s one place in Kalamazoo that truly captures the season’s spirit—not with clichés, but with care, creativity, and a whole lot of soul. At Dabney & Co., the holidays are more than a calendar event. They’re a celebration of community, music, flavor, and warmth, all wrapped up in a bow of Southern hospitality and timeless style.
Here’s what makes Dabney & Co. your go-to holiday destination:
1. A Soulful Vibe You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
Forget the canned jingles and overplayed radio edits. At Dabney, holiday music becomes an experience—rich, nostalgic, and undeniably soulful. The soundtrack is curated with intention, blending timeless classics and deep cuts that stir emotion and spark memories.
You might walk in to hear Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” wrapping the room in warmth, or Eartha Kitt’s sultry “Santa Baby” adding just the right hint of glam. And when live performers take the stage, it’s more than background music—it’s a living, breathing celebration of the season’s heart.
As Stevie Wonder once said, “Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories.” At Dabney, that essence is alive in every note.
2. Holiday Cocktails That Go Beyond the Basics
Peppermint is lovely—but peppermint with espresso in a sleek martini glass? That’s elevated. The holiday cocktail menu at Dabney is where tradition meets innovation. Each drink is a story, meant to surprise, comfort, and invite a smile.
Signature sips like the Milk & Cookies blend cozy nostalgia with a grown-up twist—creamy, spiced, and indulgent in all the right ways. Whether you’re in the mood for something bold or something bubbly, you’ll find a handcrafted cocktail that captures the season’s flavor.
Because at Dabney, the holidays should taste as magical as they feel.
