The Corner Bar & Grill on Shiawassee Street in downtown Lansing.
J and I called it quits early on Be A Tourist In Your Own Town. After the zoo, we tried to go to MSU, but couldn’t find parking and just gave up. We spent a few hours at the zoo and we were getting hungry and I had to go to work in a few hours, so we decided to find lunch/dinner. Since we were in East Lansing, J suggested Buffalo Wild Wings which is usually a hit with me, but on our way, J also pointed out that a lot of the blog entries recently have been chains and I hate doing that. I wanted to get back to something local. A couple weeks ago, Runs With Spatula reviewed a bar that I haven’t been to yet. Her blog made my mouth water. We were saving it for after a Lugnuts game, but bar food sounded good and it would put me back on the local track.
The Corner Bar & Grill is on the corner of Shiawassee and Cedar across the street from the City Market and just a block down from Oldsmobile Park. Before we moved here, the building housed the Club 505 which I’m told was a lesbian bar. Now, it’s kind of taken on a biker bar feel. Maybe that’s because there are scooters from the neighboring business parked on the sidewalk.
There’s a gravel parking lot across Shiawassee Street that has signs for parking. When we pulled in, there was only a couple cars in the parking lot, but it was an odd time. We were eating lunch around 3:00 which isn’t a prime meal time. We crossed the street and walked into the building which opens up into the bar. There aren’t really any tables in this area. It’s got more of a bar feel. We walked into another room which has a number of tables, booths, and of course, flat panel TV’s. A third room was set up for live music and there was a guy running around setting up some gear for later in the evening. Read the rest of this entry »
