MBC on Washington Square in downtown Lansing.
The wait is over. The Michigan Brewing Company put the “Coming Soon” sign on their building in downtown Lansing over a year ago. I would drive by every now and then to see if there was any progress. I would periodically send e-mails to the marketing department in Webberville to see if they would give me anything, but never could get a solid answer. All of a sudden, a few weeks ago, I saw a Tweet from Lansing PSD that MBC was opening.
The plan all along was to run some errands this morning then head downtown for lunch. Of course, City Pulse beat me to the punch with an article in this week’s edition.
MBC is near the corner of Washington Square and Kalamazoo Street. The parking available is in front of the building in angled street parking. There are a few spaces directly in front of the building, but more than likely, you’ll have to park and walk. Not a big deal as there is plenty of parking spaces along Washington Square.
The building is dominated by windows that let in a lot of natural light. When you first walk in, there’s a little lounge area off to the left with comfy red chairs and some bar stools. Right in front of you is a hostess station that divides the remaining space into two distinct areas. On the left is the bar area. They have a beautiful bar along the far left wall as well as a couple pub tables. The chairs at these pub tables are made of wood and have a ring around the bottom that looks like it was once part of a wooden barrel. The rest of the bar area is filled in with regular tables that run along a half wall that separates the bar from the dining room. The whole space has a somewhat industrial feel to it with high ceilings and low ambient lighting. A majority of the light comes from the natural light that floods in through the large windows that make up the facade. Read the rest of this entry »
