FireKeepers Casino Hotel in Battle Creek, Michigan, has launched The Embers Bar, an elegant new lounge positioned at the entrance of the casino lobby. Formerly known as the Kabaret Lounge, this revamped space now serves an array of cocktails, wines, and beers in a contemporary, welcoming environment.

The bar’s circular design, sleek metal accents, and vibrant lighting create a cozy and sociable ambiance. A striking sculptural piece with bronze features and LED lights acts as a captivating centerpiece, while ethereal resin droplets contribute depth and texture. Named after FireKeepers’ signature flame, the bar offers an inviting atmosphere that harmonizes luxury and comfort.

The design concept draws inspiration from the idea of fire as a natural congregation point, consciously avoiding direct flame motifs and instead highlighting warmth, energy, and dynamic movement.

“The Embers Bar reflects our ongoing dedication to enriching every facet of the guest experience,” stated Michael Hamilton, VP of Food & Beverage at FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “Our aim was to craft a space that feels both invigorating and relaxing, allowing guests to unwind with a drink, celebrate with friends, or simply soak in the lively vibe that makes FireKeepers unique.”

Key collaborators in the creation of The Embers Bar included Cuningham Group Architecture, which brought the design concept to life, and Moore Trosper Construction, a trusted partner of FireKeepers.
