The East Lansing outpost of the regional pub chain has a bottle-cap-studded bar made from old gym bleachers, lights repurposed from a shuttered church and cool rock-and-roll folk art. It's a treat to look at, but the 100 beers on tap (of which 65 are from Michigan) are the real draw. Beyond-the-norm burgers and sandwiches help you stay upright.
