Build a date night in Lansing, MI around three stops: dinner, a cocktail and something sweet. Start with the dinner setting that suits your plans. Bento Kitchen Cravings serves bibimbap, ramen and Korean-twist burritos and quesadillas in a casual, cozy, quiet space. The Comfort Zone Cigar Lounge & Bistro pairs casual dress with a fine dining experience in a cigar lounge, with entertainment including karaoke, live music and dancing. Soup Spoon Café offers homemade soups and homestyle food in a colorful, cozy setting; reservations are accepted and recommended for dinner.
For cocktails, choose among a barbecue restaurant, a bookstore and a microbrewery. Meat BBQ has an on-site bar serving cocktails and happy-hour drinks alongside slow-smoked barbecue and handmade sides. Hooked combines books, coffee and a wine bar, with cocktails also available. Sleepwalker Spirits And Ale serves craft beer and cocktails in REO Town, with pizzas and sandwiches on the menu.
Finish with ice cream at Capital City Sweets or Bubble Joy.
