They describe themself as gay/queer bar in their own description, however, I (a man) was kissing another man and was told by the bouncer (who was wearing a pride bracelet) that we had to stop because it was making people uncomfortable. With the dance bar vibes and being a 'gay bar', it's wildly confusing that someone in leadership must be homophobic and could direct the bouncer to tell two gay men to stop kissing. For what it's worth, I've enjoyed the drinks that I've had here. But the bar clearly doesn't know what it wants to be...and based upon my experience, it certainly isn't a safe space for the queer community.

Ok----so the sketchy meter was kinda high---considering it's next to a strip club---but meh---such is life. Didn't have any of the food, none of it looked that interesting---regular bar stuff.

The night we visited, no events occurred but the owner did mention they have live music and other events regularly. An overall cute spot I'd return to.

I definitely don't think they're sketchy. Like "Matt C." seems to. Matt may not have ever been…read moreanywhere actually sketchy... I mean come on - this place is full of brand spankin' new "pleather" couches and flat-screen televisions... What's sketchy about it? That said. It's over priced. They have nicer seating than most. And offer some cool all glass hookah pipes but it's not worth the 20% boost in cost (compared to Blue Midnight, which is next door). One other complaint: I hate it when Hookah bars line the front of their store space with "other" smoking paraphernalia. I'm not a prude or anything but smoking a hookah pipe is equivalent to smoking a pipe or a cigar. That said I think there is a real marketing flaw in lining the store with expensive bongs and marijuana pipes. It projects a crap message: that hookah smoking is equivalent to smoking other things; I'm fine with pot smoking but it's a crap marketing move and it'll alienate some of your clientèle. Case in point: this might be the reason Matt C. describes the place as "sketchy," I don't know him so that's just my educated guess. All in all: it's okay.

Kinda sketch, but I somewhat expect that from a hookah lounge…read more Looking like it was decorated by a freshman who had access to a large amount of black-lights and bonded leather sectionals, Six Lounge has a comfortable, albeit "youthful," atmosphere for smoking shisha. They have a large selection of flavors to choose from, and tend to be attentive in adding coals. They additionally have a small selection of drinks to choose from, but no external drinks may be brought in. If you like smoking shisha enough, they even sell pipes and tobacco for you take home. While not my favorite place in town, it is opened late to appease the bar crowds. Since many people don't stay out too late on weekdays, this makes Six Lounge a decent place to study at night.

Was in Lansing visiting a friend and we decided to have dinner at Toscana…read more The restaurant itself is really nice, but they sat us at a slightly awkward table. There were only four of us, but we ended up at what felt like a six-person booth/table setup. It made it a little tricky to talk with everyone, but we survived. Now listen... the bread. Oh, the bread. I have been dreaming about this bread ever since I had it. And I mean that literally, I was dreaming about the bread while I was actively eating it. It was THAT good. My pasta was delicious and had a nice kick to it. I knew it was supposed to be spicy, but even after reading the reviews I was still a little surprised by the heat. Thankfully, it was the good kind of spicy where you keep going back for another bite. Overall, a really nice spot with some seriously memorable bread.

Unfortunately, our dining experience was disappointing. We weren't allowed to order from the regular happy hour menu and were limited to a much more expensive fixed menu. The calamari was good, but the featured Jazzleberry cocktail tasted weak and watered down. The prosciutto and melon appetizer was served with a large piece of half-burnt toast, the melon was hard and underripe, and the prosciutto was dry and sliced so thick it was difficult to cut or eat. I asked only for a replacement piece of toast, but our server brought an entire basket of focaccia instead. Since we hadn't ordered it, we assumed it was a courtesy replacement. We were surprised to find an $8 charge for the bread on our bill. This was at least our third disappointing experience. Toscana has a lovely atmosphere and wonderful live music, but the food quality and service have consistently fallen short. I truly hope they can improve because I'd like to enjoy dining here as much as I enjoy the entertainment.

She chose Zoobie's because she thought she had seen it featured on a Food Network show, and the menu looked diverse enough that everyone in our group would find something they liked. Being from New Jersey, my sister-in-law firmly believes there is no good pizza outside of New Jersey or New York. Well, Zoobie's proved that great pizza can be found anywhere. I ordered the pear pizza without the meat, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors worked perfectly together, and I never felt like I was missing anything by skipping the meat. My sisters each ordered different pizzas and thoroughly enjoyed them, while my nephew had a burger that disappeared quickly, which is always a good sign. My wife ordered the bruschetta and spoke so highly of it that I had to try some myself. She was right, it was delightful. Another pleasant surprise was the atmosphere. The restaurant was quite busy, with a full bar and a group celebrating some kind of event, yet the noise level remained very manageable. As someone who is sensitive to loud environments, that can make or break a dining experience, and Zoobie's got it right. For context, we visited on a weekday around 2:00 PM, so that certainly may have contributed to the comfortable atmosphere. Still, every aspect of our visit exceeded expectations. Great food, attentive service, a welcoming environment, and perhaps most impressively, pizza that won over a skeptic from New Jersey.

If you like being belittled by the staff when they get off work and have been drinking then this is your place to be. I have never been here before but was rudely welcomed by a wasted off clock staff member and she made that very clear. 17 years she's been working there so that trumped my Attempt to find a new bar. I asked her to leave my table multiple times but she just continued to belittle me.

I ordered the chicken strips, and they were completely unpalatable. They tasted heavily of old, burnt ash and smoke, which means the kitchen is failing to maintain and change their fryer oil.I chose not to cause a scene or ruin a nice dinner while my family was at the table. Instead, I waited until they left and went out of my way to speak with the manager privately and respectfully. Rather than taking accountability for serving poor-quality food on dirty dinnerware, the manager hid behind rigid policy. They refused to offer a refund or an adjustment because the meal was partially eaten.Eating half a meal to see if it gets any better isn't an endorsement of quality--it's a customer trying to make the best of a bad dish. Waiting to speak to management privately was a courtesy to the business, not an admission of satisfaction.To make matters worse, I ended up losing over $20 on a meal I only expected to cost around $15 due to unexpected upcharges on the final bill. Paying a premium to eat burnt food in an unsanitary environment while being dismissed by management is unacceptable.I still have my physical receipt to prove my visit. It is highly disappointing to see a local, family-owned business treat paying customers with such disregard. We will not be returning, and I strongly advise others to look elsewhere for dinner.
