Before the Show in Lansing, MI

Lansing's music rooms are clustered on East Michigan Avenue and in Old Town, so pre-show dinner is a question of which block.

[Macs Bar](/places/macs-bar) sits at 2700 E Michigan Ave and books an eclectic mix. Eat first at [The People's Kitchen](/places/the-people-s-kitchen) at 2722 E Michigan Ave, which is essentially next door, or at [Soup Spoon Café](/places/soup-spoon-cafe) at 1419 E Michigan Ave for something faster and homestyle. For a drink on the way in, [Stober's Bar](/places/stober-s-bar) at 812 E Michigan Ave and [Art's Pub](/places/art-s-pub) on E Kalamazoo St are both casual and unhurried.

## If the show is at UrbanBeat

[UrbanBeat](/places/urbanbeat) is at 1213 Turner Rd in Old Town, with brick walls and regular dates on the calendar. [Meat BBQ](/places/meat-bbq) is a block away at 1224 Turner Rd and is the obvious pre-show meal: slow-smoked meat, handmade sides, no reservation drama. [Sir Pizza](/places/sir-pizza) on E César E. Chávez Ave is the quick version if doors are in twenty minutes.

## If you are downtown

Shows and events around Washington Square are easy to build around. [Midtown Brewing Co.](/places/midtown-brewing-co) at 402 S Washington Square pours house drafts, [Kelly's Downtown](/places/kelly-s-downtown) is a few doors along, and [Cottage Inn Pizza Downtown Lansing](/places/cottage-inn-pizza-downtown-lansing) at 206 S Washington Square handles the fast slice. [Lansing Brewing Company](/places/lansing-brewing-company) on E Shiawassee St is the bigger room with outdoor seating.

[Tin Can Bar](/places/tin-can-bar) at 408 E Michigan Ave stays casual and hip and is the natural post-show stop downtown. [Nuthouse Sports Grill](/places/nuthouse-sports-grill) at 420 E Michigan Ave is next to it if the group wants food with the last drink.

## Timing

Give yourself ninety minutes for dinner on East Michigan, or an hour if you are eating in Old Town — the walk between Meat BBQ and UrbanBeat is about a minute.
