10 Spots to Watch the Game

This cozy casual hangout, popular among the MSU crowd, offers more than just your average eats. From buckets burgers to pizza nugs, a space-themed kids menu and arcade area. This spot is a hit with the little ones, while parents can unwind and enjoy the craft beer selection.

I have to tell you that I could live on Midtown Brewing Company’s appetizers alone. Sure they’ve got great sandwiches, fish and chips, tacos and burgers, but the apps? Wowza. There’s Brussel sprouts, fried pickles, spinach artichoke dip, soft pretzels and cinnamon donuts to start with. Add on a great craft beer selection and ciders and let’s all settle in to watch the game.

These are great sports bars. I guarantee there will be lots of yelling and some friendly ribbing going on when the game begins. Guests at Reno's East can see where Tom Izzo, Suzy Merchant and other MSU coaches hold weekly radio shows during their respective seasons.

I really appreciate how they moved in and updated this restaurant. Great food options and friendly staff makes this a nice new option.

This is the newest and hottest spot in town with great drinks and sliders for days. There are multiple TVs so you won't miss a minute of the game.

Pizza House has multiple big screens, party-sized tables and enough space for a big crowd. They've got yummy pizza and I like that they’re located right in Hannah Plaza adjacent to campus and close to the action.

A quick walk for the downtown lunch and after-work dinner crowd, the Nuthouse greets visitors with a wall full of large screen TVs as they enter. It only gets better from there as dual bars let you belly-up near strategically placed flatscreens to monitor multiple games at once. The Nuthouse has been voted Lansing's best sports bar.

The MSU campus is a free-throw's distance from the Roadhouse and the Roadhouse Pub, each of which are staples for gametime brews and a bite to eat. There is never a bad seat when you settle in to choose a drink from 24 taps and the award-winning menu, which includes weekend breakfast options. The pub, located behind the Roadhouse, has a smaller menu but comes with an extra edge of enthusiasm and energy.

A 24-tap craft sports bar that also has a Big Ten-themed cocktail menu, FieldHouse has more than 75 HDTVs. The banks of flatscreens lining booths and the bar lets you take it all in while devouring daily specials on pizzas, burgers and beyond.

A crisp, modern design accentuates the high-resolution TVs and huge screens that are visible throughout the dining area. Lansing Brewing has their own great craft beer selection and an expansive menu that will offer options from pre-game to overtime.
