As the new school year gets into full swing, life speeds up. But so does the exciting energy of Michigan State football season! One of the best ways to unwind this fall is to head into Downtown Lansing and catch all the action on the big screens.
If you are looking for fun spots to watch the game with great food and even better company, check out our top downtown recommendations:
● Nuthouse Sports Grill: Located right on Michigan Avenue across from Jackson Field, this
staple has been a go-to spot for decades. With over 20 screens there is plenty of
Spartan spirit!
● Lansing Brewing Company: Just a few blocks away in Stadium District, LBC offers plenty
of space, high-definition TVs, craft beers, and a massive patio outdoor eating center to
celebrate a touchdown with fellow fans.
● Sidecar Slider Bar: A classic neighborhood sports bar environment where you can grab
great sliders, cold drinks, and join a lively crowd of local sports fans.
● Midtown Brewing Company: Midtown has 40 taps they serve daily alongside 7 of their
own classic house beers. This is a perfect place to grab delicious food and watch the
game!
- Lansing Shuffle: This spot by the river offers a full-service bar, multiple eateries, and plenty of screens for viewing.
At the end of the day, the best part of football season isn’t just what happens on the field; it’s the community it brings together. Saturdays create endless opportunities to meet up with old friends, make new ones, and share the excitement. Whether the Spartans are playing at home under the stadium lights or away on the road, you’ll always find a room full of people ready to shout “Go Green!” right along with you.
