East Lansing offers plenty of nightlife. If you're a student, or visiting a student at Michigan State University, there is no shortage of bars packed full of young people and loud music. Most bars cater to the younger crowd.
Beggar's Banquet: Located on Abbot near Grand River, Beggar's is an East Lansing institution. With good food, and reasonable drinks, it is highly recommended, especially among graduate students. Wine Wednesday (half-off wine) is the busy night.
The Peanut Barrel: Located off Grand River, it is another East Lansing institution. Good beer, strong long islands, and peanut casings on the floor define the place. It is extremely popular in the summer, with outdoor dining in the heart of downtown East Lansing. You'll need a little luck on a sunny day to snag a table outside. It is the best place to people watch.
Crunchy's: Rounding out the East Lansing institutions, this dive bar located on Grand River west of downtown East Lansing is great fun. The bar sports the best beer menu in town and is constantly rotating. Karaoke night is a blast!

Reno's: Located on Abbott just north of Saginaw, is a bar and restaurant. The food is so terrible that it has no place in the dining options. It has a decent beer selection and is a good place to watch a game. Just don't eat the food. The patio is gigantic and perfect for a drink on a nice day.
