Kristen PFebruary 10, 2023Great drink specials and all around fun place! They card you even though you look old af so don't forget your ID! lol
Rama on Thursdays is a must. But get there super early because it gets packed and you'll have to wait forever to get in
Pauline AgtApril 18, 2014For me and a bunch of international friends, Burgerama nights are the best! I wish we had the same back home. Gonna miss Rama & playing flip cup- Fun times, fun staff, great venue. Burgerama is a blast, giant Jenna, and best Djs around!
Allison ReppNovember 16, 2013Specials are 1/2 off on Wednesdays and Sundays! I might have found a new place to watch Football!
Burgerama Thursdays! Get their early or you'll be in line for a while.
Order a round of Sparty O's named by yours truly and the brain trust of Scott R and Dave L. You will NOT be disappointed.
Thomas WingSeptember 30, 2012It's a cool bar. There's not really much of a bourbon selection in Lansing. There's a larger age range so this place is cool for students and alum and older strangers. Have fun.- If you get Nelu as your waitress then order a skinny bitch from her. Vodka water and lemonade. Tastes great and so refreshing!
Don't forget to check out Bill Clinton's name carved into the west end of the bar from his 1992 visit during the presidential debate.- When people are playing the giant sized jenga game and it gets really tall, try kicking it over.
- You can never beat DJ Donnie Ds check ins here!! DnWsound!!!
Pool tournament every Tuesday night. Great specials all week, burgerama on Thursday. Holler
Number one Labatt account in the nation! Come in to see why!
Beat spot to eat and watch the game. HD tvs and hottest staff in town... No doubt
