My least favorite is Harper's. Not sure why anyone would go there.

And yeah, Crunchy's is that good!

I feel like the bar that most felt like a "college bar" was The Riv. Especially during Burgerama, those were the greatest times I ever had. Waiting in line way too long, cheap pitchers, billiards, decent music, good atmosphere, fun crowds, good setup, etc.

I also enjoyed Peanut Barrel as a good start-off bar, although I would never stay there all night because I would want to use that two Long Island buzz elsewhere. Crunchy's and Dublin are fun bars as well. Never was a big fan of Harper's.

Whenever my crew goes back for games, we inevitably end up at B-dubs. We can usually catch the night games and it's not super crowded. I enjoy 23 oz drafts and I'm addicted to Carribean Jerk and Mango Habenero wings.

If we're going to "go out" then it's the Riv or bust. It's also complete BS that they charge cover; living in Chicago I can assure you that all but the chachiest clubs are cover-free. I always laugh my ass off when the place that used to be Troppos asks for $5 just to walk in. So lame.

Agreed. Crunchy's is fine, but it's nothing special.

all el bars would bow down to the old bdubs

Just minor roof repairs....everything will be fine.

This.

Also, I really miss LouHas being right there across the street from tRiv. Go to 'Rama around 4, pretty drunk not long after and when 'Rama is over with, head on over to LouHas where you won't remember a thing. It was heavenly.

And like others have said, I like Crunchy's but living further east in EL, that's a hell of a walk. I've only gone to Crunchy's to actually drink once. Oh, and the Shark sucks.

The sad thing is that when I was in college I thought most East Lansing bars were garbage. I hung out in Lansing at places like Dagwood's and Mac's a lot more.

I've never even been into the Landshark. Seeing the deuchebags in line for that place told me enough about the crowd, and the fact that I wouldn't have liked it in there.

Crunchy's is definitely a cool bar.

I personally like:

PT's, tRiv, Dublin, Crunchy's, tPeanut Barrel

Ok for me:

Rick's, tPost

Not a fan of:

Harper's, tShark

I was over the deuchebag Spring Break mentality of most East Lansing bars by the time I was 21. Plus I hate waiting in line for a bar when there are plenty of other places to go.

Places like Rick's and The Landshark weren't really my thing. Back in the day, I'd rather go to the Peanut Barrel, Mac's etc.

Shut your whore mouth.

Going somewhere else besides MSU for your undergrad is not "luxury," it's a mistake!

Crunchy's is great but the horrible service knocks it down a few notches
