    Bevs to quench our thirst! (Miller Lite and High Noon-Pineapple)

    Mayfair used to be part of my stomping grounds, as I attended the local schools, since returning as a responsible adult they have added a rooftop bar that adds AMAZING VIEWS to your visit. Views of what you might ask, the bar is conveniently located next to the public access park at Lake Lansing and offers views of the Lake and surrounding area. The parking can be a bit of a struggle given there are two bars/restaurants and a liquor store sharing the same parking lots. However, there is a gated lot that holds reserved parking for the Mayfair. The food is your traditional bar fair, nothing to write home about but nothing to really complain about either. The drink selection is plentiful and like with most bars, you can find a DJ, trivia, pool, darts, or shuffleboard happening on any given night. The team members are always polite and seemingly welcoming but at times the patron demographic may not match that same energy. The Mayfair is a dependable place to hang with locals, take in some fried foods and cold drinks, and stay close to MSU country for a game day!

    We've been going to the Blue Gill next door for some time and tonight they had their outdoor seating closed... and we like to stay outdoors when we can (COVID). So we decided to go here since they had their rooftop open and it was a really nice night especially in the sun. Food was very good, service was great and our waiter was tentative. We will definitely be back as they said they plan to have the rooftop open for at least another month. Also there is a lot of food options so I look forward to trying something new next time!!

    Decent prices but the burgers don't come with fries and the old lady bartender is often rude

    A dark establishment that seems to scare Metros away, a good thing , excellent bar staff, best olive burger in town, and a fun , down to Earth clientele.

    Came in for first time on a Friday evening just after the happy hour beer special had expired…read more Ordered a "Tall" draft expecting a TALL as served at most other places in Lansing area. When it came in a small clear plastic cup, I asked server George about it being a large and he pointed out it said 20 oz on the bottom of the cup. The bill called it a "Schooner", boy what a mis-label if I ever saw one. Would hate to see their small (regular size) beer. Maybe it is served in a dixie cup. My fish basket 5 pc, was great with plenty of fries and coleslaw, and hushpuppies. Wife chose the Jumbo Coconut shrimp basket that really contained "Jumbo" shrimp and plenty of dipping sauce. Overall fair for the money, EXCEPT the pretend Schooner thing. Guess rule is if you want any beer bargain there, must arrive before the 7 pm cutoff time. Young man waiter George will do good in this industry.

    READ WHOLE THING…read more While me and my boyfriend were there we ordered, a maple margarita, waters, vodka cranberry, pretzel bites, 8in pepperoni pizza and the street tacos with jalapeno corn on the side (extra). out waitress was very very nice. she did everything we needed and was super polite. the maple margarita was one of the hardest to get down drinks i've ever ordered. tequila and cinnamon do not mix do not get that drink. the restaurant was a nice cute dive bar vibe and if perfect for dive bar quality. but the food. my tacos were good with the corn on the side - i love corn so i ordered that extra - i was happy with what i got. the pretzels we ordered were amazing and the picky eater boyfriend i have liked them too. he is the pickiest eater ive ever met. he did not like the pizza. you cant expect the best from a dive bar. i had a good experience my boyfriend did not, but i did not like that margarita. i had an overall 8/10 experience for a dive bar while my bf says he had a 4/10. take that with what you will. i would go again. he wouldn't.
