When in Lansing.

Post by Patchez »

Two weeks ago I was in Lansing MI for a beer fest for a Facebook group that Resident Asshole had added me to years ago. Short version of this story was I had a blast at the Fest on Saturday and got to hang with R.A. at two of his favorite watering holes.

Stobers was the first place we hit. Classic neighbor hood bar. Well used and comfortably broke in by thousands of regulars over the years. A little divey and a little Craft beer bar. Just so you know with all the fucking great breweries in MI even the shittiest little dive will have a few great beers on tap. Stobers has about 8 or 10. The bartenders were outstanding and you could order food from the bar down the street.

Over all a pretty bitchin place. If I lived anywhere near it, it would be a regular haunt.

The view that greets you as you walk in off the street.

Large Griffin or Dragon, depending on who you ask, perched over either end of the bar.

The bar and overhead awesomeness.

Image

Couldn't fit all the awesomeness in one pic.

Image

They had a classic full 21 foot shuffle board game. Two really this one and one on the booth seating upper tier area.

Taken from the booth area looking out the front door.

We also went down the street two doors to the bar we ordered food from and was also a nice divey dart bar. Moriarty's was an excellent place to bend an elbow with darts and with drink.

This place looks does look bitchin'. The disco ball really ties the room together. And who isn't down for some shuffleboard action?!

I like the board near the door where there's the possibility of wayward darts flyin' in to someone as they walk in. Awesome!

Just got settled in after the move and great pics Patchez. Nice hanging out and sorry I couldn't be a better host. The mancave is coming into full effect at the new abode if you happen to come into town again.

Good host and guide to your local haunts for the explorer, yup.

Also, how the hell did Patchez foretell the demise of Photfuckit? He's posted images form Imgur all along. Maybe that is why one might never win a game against him.

He's a bit of a puzzler.

main reason I jumped ship with photofucit was they limited how many pics you could store. When I was paintballing back in the day I had a ton of pics to post. Blew the limit befor eI had half the pics for a weekend game down loaded. Imgur never had this limit.
