    Pinball machines
    Katy C.

    I was never really a regular at Crunchy's while in college, but definitely had a few karaoke nights here and there. Nate and I stopped in for a drink and a snack recently while driving back to GR from the east side. I did have a chuckle at the many signs yelling at you to definitely NOT park in the parking lot that definitely looks like it should belong to Crunchy's. Obviously this has been an issue for them and whoever owns the parking lot (which was completely empty when we visited). So just park in the spots on the street near the park behind the building, otherwise you will DEFINITELY get towed. This is clearly not the fault of Crunchy's, so pay attention and you should be fine. The bar is divey and can be pretty popular during peak season (at least when I was in college) but luckily it was summer and the bar was full of locals. We were seated right away in the side of the bar with the pinball machines and our server was really friendly and nice. The pinball machines are constantly making noise so we heard the same few bars of some pinball machine music over and over and over throughout the whole time we were there... kind of annoying but what can you do. We got some drinks - I tried the Yooper juice, which is their version of a paloma, it was good. We also got an order of chips and cheese with taco beef to share. It was a good portion and the toppings were tasty. Topping distribution wasn't the best, but it was good bar food. They have drink and food specials throughout the week. They're known for their pizza, which I've never had, and their buckets of beer and food. Definitely a classic East Lansing bar and worth a stop if you enjoy a good dive bar.

    Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and Fries

    This sandwich was super tasty and I will be back for it! Awesome bar that's been open for a long time. Great place to go with friends. The staff is nice and attentive for the most part. They have a large menu, it was hard to choose! I also got fried mushrooms and mac and cheese bites for an appetizer. Mushrooms were good and I would get again but I would personally skip the mac and cheese bites because they are kraft brand. Overall good experience and excited to try more!

    Black & Bleu Burger

    Crunchy's is a fun, social atmosphere to meet up with friends. There is a room with pinball machines, and they even have karaoke nights, which is what I went to watch. (I was amazed at how talented some of the participants were!) We were told there was a wait, but ended up being seated much sooner than the expected wait time. I liked that the booths have napkin dispensers and condiments like mayo for convenience. I was ecstatic to find out that they had M-43 Tart Strawberry on tap, instead of in the can and had to order it. I ordered the Black & Bleu Burger for my entree because I am an avid bleu cheese lover and I was very impressed. It comes with bacon, pickles, onion, tomato, lettuce, and a pretzel bun. The fries were thick-cut and delicious. My friend ordered the 'Shrooms Basket of deep fried mushrooms. I wouldn't have thought to order this, but I really liked them once I tried them!

    Large pizza

    Quick and nice service. Food came out hot. Definitely a college bar atmosphere but there are quiet days for family's/kids too.

    Sunday 1/2 off large pizza w olives, banana peppers, and onion.

    Good beer, decent burgers, great prices. I really like the jr version of the burger and making it cajun with bacon.

    Such a great find! We were unsure at first because there is no signage but we followed the visuals…read moreof fermentation vessels and the arrows on doors to find the entrance in the alley! We felt like we were in o.n East Lansing's best kept secret. The dining area is so cozy and fun. 5 stars on the vibe! We came on trivia night but had no problem finding seats at the bar. Our bartender, Stevie, was welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered the special -- 2 beers, pretzel and a pizza for $30. The beer cheese and pretzel were delicious! The beers were delicious -- my husband loved the hazy and I loved the Red Ale. We will definitely be back and look forward to trying the burgers and craft cocktails! There's so much for everyone on the menu. Highly recommend!

    It was a challenge to find, but we found it. There were just a few spots for parking. I assume…read morethere is street parking nearby. My husband chose the Crescent Fresh IPA. It was good. I am a dark beer person, so that is what I look for when ordering. They had a Tiramisu Stout and I chose that. Tiramisu, I'm thinking pastry, espresso along with the maltiness of a stout but I did not get that. There was no coffee and it had a bitter finish that lingered. The beertender was willing to swap me out for their Amber. It was a better choice and to style. The space itself was nice, plenty of seating and a good view of the brew equipment.
