Guidebook for East Lansing
Drinks & Nightlife
If you are looking for a local bar that's smaller, this is the place! Great place to sit down and grab a bite to eat, with tons of craft beers on draft! The burgers are amazing, and plenty of TVs to catch your favorite teams! Oh and only a 3 minute walk! My favorite bar/restraunt in East Lansing!
