The Green Door Blues Bar & Grill on Michigan Avenue in Lansing.
Have I mentioned that I love when J e-mails me from work and says she’s hungry for greasy bar food? Man, I love that! I was not in the cooking mood again as we were packing up for a trip back to Chicago. For J’s birthday, I got her and her family tickets to see comedian Joel McHale at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN. We were going to see McHale in Detroit back in January, but I had to work. Since Hammond is about 15 miles from her parents south suburban home, I made up for missing the January show with four tickets to this show.
I’m starting to run out of ideas for greasy bar food, so I started looking at menus on Allmenus.com. One of the places that came up that I never really thought about was The Green Door. I ran it by J and she thought we would have enough time on her dinner break.
The Green Door Blues Bar & Grill is on Michigan Avenue at Clemens Avenue. If you can find street parking along Michigan Avenue, there is a front door, but there’s also a City of Lansing lot behind the building. If you park in back, there’s a door that leads right in to the bar on the backside of the building.
We parked in back and trekked through the alley which, like most of the streets in Lansing, has seen better days. When we got inside, we were faced with a choice. The Green Door is set up for live music which is really the main draw. There are some tables in front of the stage, but there are also some higher pub tables on the other side of the room.
