The Avenue - Lansing (MI)

2 /5 James Del Conejo: This bartender was the meanest person ever. Completely rude and dismissed us like we were lesser than her. The audacity especially with cheap earrings like this. Dont Come here or tip her unless you wanna be ridiculed. Also as an "lgbtq friendly" place we expect all bartenders to be nice to everyone not just the straight acting ones...

5 /5 Tams Nicholson: Pinball machines, video games, vegan meal options, friendly, fun, really a great place!!!! I dont drink alcohol - and they can make great non-alcohol drinks too. Parking is better early behind the building but there is always street parking. It gets louder as it gets later - so plan accordingly. Karaoke and good bands too. Great fun.

4 /5 Alexis Turner: I have attended a few current weekend nights. Just as a pool player ($2 a play) and visitor to Lansing. The staff and service is beyond impeccable. Inviting, aware, helpful.. i literally cannot say enough good things about how well the staff runs this place. The food... I swear you would never EVER think it, but the food here is not only insanely good, it comes in easy to eat and ready to go little bowls. On to the... entertainment? Hey.. lemme just say this.. after 9:00pm on the weekend, its "Lansing Entertainment". I am only saying this as someone whos not local to the area. Will continue to return!!

5 /5 Hattie Danby: Ive been going to the Avenue since before it was the Avenue. The owner was always so supportive of the local music scene and I admired that. The staff is always cute and sweet. I have never been disappointed in service there. The atmosphere is warm and inviting for everyone. At the Avenue I dont have to worry about me or my friends getting picked on because of our gender/sexual orientation or where we are from because the staff is very protective of their patrons and do not tolerate violence or bullying. Im super grateful to have his gem in our town. I especially love that they have live music, all-ages shows every Sunday, AND that they serve a variety of non-alcoholic beverages for the nights where I cant or dont feel like drinking alcohol. Chilling outside is fun too!!

3 /5 Amara Hoddy: Closed the bar and music at 1 am during an event which was pretty disappointing especially since cut off everywhere else is 1:50-2 am. Was having a lot of fun with friends and had intentions of spending a decent amount on drinks the last hour as well but the bar closed, music was turned off and they started closing early. Highly disappointing as this is a staple hangout in Lansing for the alternative crowd.
