KALAMAZOO, MI -- Bell's Brewery Inc. unveils a new, full-service restaurant today after 15 years of serving patrons at the Eccentric Cafe with counter service.

Here are six things you need to know about the new space:

1. It has a Michigan theme. Flooring at the new space includes Michigan features. A mosaic map of the Mitten State on the floor has points highlighted in Kalamazoo and Escanaba, where Bell's opened Upper Hand Brewery in the fall.

2. It'll be a full-service restaurant, with waiters and waitresses and all. For the past 15 years, Bell's has served patrons by walk-up and counter service.

3. The bar in the original cafe will be expanded into the space where the 150-foot-kitchen stood before. The renovated restaurant will add 130 seats.

4. The dining room and kitchen was part of Bell's original brewery at 355 E. Kalamazoo Ave. Before it was Bell's, the property was a full-service gas station.

5. The cafe's new menu will feature fish and chips, burgers, fresh ground burgers from beef and other meats, salads, smoked meats and steamed mussels.

6. Kitchen hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
