[The People's Kitchen](/places/the-people-s-kitchen) at 2722 E Michigan Ave is the safest good decision in the city — creative comfort food and craft cocktails in a colorful room. [Cask & Company Kitchen & Bar](/places/cask-company-kitchen-bar) on E Saginaw St is the chef-driven option with outdoor seating, and [Bento Kitchen Cravings](/places/bento-kitchen-cravings) in Frandor Shopping Center does Korean fusion at the highest rating of the group.

Downtown, [PetalPop Café](/places/petalpop-cafe) on W Ionia St keeps a wall of craft sodas on tap, which makes it a real option for a date where nobody is drinking. [Soup Spoon Café](/places/soup-spoon-cafe) on E Michigan Ave is the homestyle counterpoint: soup made in house and a menu broad enough for picky eaters.

## A drink

[Stober's Bar](/places/stober-s-bar) is the classic — shuffleboard, a jukebox and enough room to talk. [Kelly's Downtown](/places/kelly-s-downtown) on Washington Square is small and Irish-themed and works when you want a single drink before heading home. [Moriarty's Pub](/places/moriarty-s-pub) at 802 E Michigan Ave is the cozier Irish-American version with a livelier crowd.

If you would rather have beer than cocktails, [Lansing Brewing Company](/places/lansing-brewing-company) and [Midtown Brewing Co.](/places/midtown-brewing-co) both pour their own, and both are a short walk from downtown dinner.

[UrbanBeat](/places/urbanbeat) in Old Town books live music in a century-old room and turns a dinner into an evening. [Macs Bar](/places/macs-bar) on E Michigan Ave leans eclectic and loud, which is the right choice on the right night. [Lansing Shuffle](/places/lansing-shuffle) gives you shuffleboard courts and two bars if the date is going well enough to need a second act.

## The short version

Dinner at The People's Kitchen, a drink at Stober's, music at UrbanBeat. That is the whole plan, and it holds up any week of the year.
