I'm sure your "real bar" shit will cross many off the list.. but let's not be picky. EL is EL and we love it for what it is.

Riv
Peanut Barrel
Woody's
Crunchy's
Ricks
Dublin
Harpers
Stateside
Dagwood's
PT's

You better enjoy Woodys while you still can. You about 3 weeks.

Landlord tenant dispute. The owner kind of let the place go and the landlord is giving her the boot. It's a shame because Woodys definitely had it's niche.

Look for the return of Lou & Harry's in the fall.

Update?

Were crack fries had?

Flew into Metro - girlfriend picked me up. Went to Munn to watch her son's final day and game at MSU Hockey camp.

Went to PB and consumed rodeo burger, fries and beer.

Headed back to Bloomfield Hills and then had a nice weekend. Was back in Raleigh around 11pm last night.

BTW: They've ripped out all the bleachers out of Munn - I think they're going to seats.

I just listed some places. Some people expect EL to be some amazing bar scene. It's a small college town that's pretty much one strip of road.

Drop the drinking age back to 18 and you'd have an amazing bar scene again.

I don't expect it to be amazing. I guess having HopCat is an improvement, but the whole downtown is (still) disappointing from a retail/bar/restaurant perspective.

Downtown Lansing certainly upgraded their bar scene. It can be done.

I have 0 problem with that, you know, the classic if I die for my country but I can't drink a fuckin' beer.. Just another ass backwards thing in this country.

On a related note, WTF happened to the Taco Bell?

The retail was a lot better in the 90s. Good book stores, record stores and what not. The Internet killed the EL retail experience.

This post has me cruising EL on Street Maps. There is a Taco Bell next to that cookie place, but I remember that building as a Taco Bell. I thought I heard a National Coney went in there at some point.

A long ass time ago. They moved to the new building right next door. The have been probably 5 or so businesses that have gone into that building since and all failed. Longest lasting was a coney island

You would be if you only live in EL since they don't have enough bars to begin with. Don't let Duffy fool ya

That place can blow me

Why you no like that place? You dont like fresh seafood?

I like my drinks stronger than you I guess.

Wasn't Landshark duffy's old place?

Did he water-down the booze?

I'm going to move back to EL and run for mayor. Bob can be lieutenant mayor.

You mean to tell me that place didn't live up to their business plan? It was suppose to be a gourmet seafood joint.... Like better than red lobster

I'm guessing that the income was less than the expenses.

So sky high rent. Brilliant el!!!

Was it a Moe's? Maybe people like Chipotle better?

Isn't it right across Grand River from that awful looking museum?

Perfect spot for a hipster coffee place. Beaner's should go there.

that empty, gutted carcass of what once was a Taco Bell is actually much more aesthetically pleasing than that trash fire of a art museum almost direct across from it.

I think they moved not long after the '99 riots.

If that fucking building were up north we'd make good use of it, looks like a fine location for a gun shop.
