Beyond disappointed! Having a great night bar hopping until we came here. First night out on the town from California and the bartender was beyond rude. She completely insulted my group of people by stating we took her tip which we would never do. We have plenty of money and don't need her lousy few dollars. And for her to not want to listen to anyone who was around us not part of our group was not good customer service at all. Besides the twenties in our pockets we had the $13 from the change from the one drink we bought. As the Designated Driver I was completely coherent was treated like a drunken fool. Â I will never step foot in here again nor recommend anyone going there.
Review Source:This was our first bachelor party stop.
Stepping in it looks like a small space but walking back it's a labyrinth connected to another bar and club. Above it there is a live music bar that gets excellent live bands. Last time we were here Anberlin was playing although it reached capacity before we got there.
Ok. Â This is about one o the funniest places I've been to in town. Â Love the hole in the wall atmosphere. Â It's a dive but in a good way.
Love the beer tour concept. Â It's the first time I've seen that.
The women that work here are awesome! Â (So are the guys.) Â Take great care of me and actually chat!
They have week day "lunch box" specials.
"Good beer, cheap friends."
This is a quick standing room only place to get drunk quick, to sum it all up. It's extremely casual - most people sport college sweatshirts and jeans. The music is so, so good but there isn't any dancing inside. I think you'd get your ass beat if you were caught dancing inside, actually... the summer patio, on the other hand, is the place to be! Still a pretty casual atmosphere, but plenty of dancing on the right nights. I've seen some rowdiness in the crowd here, but it's certainly more kosher than other downtown bars as of late.
The best part about Tin Can? Pudding shots. The most amazing pudding shots you'll ever know. And they're hearty! You even get a spoon! They also have adult happy meals.
Don't be scared away by the fact that they don't have beers on tap. Â They have an awesome selection of canned beers, pudding shots, and a menu of drinks made with Faygo and Pinnacle vodka. Â Yum!!
I'm bummed that I live far away, because there were a lot of drinks on the menu I wanted to try.
The best bar I've ever been to. The Tin Can in Lansing Michigan. Have a look at the menu. The cheapest beers ever, all in cans, and they have something called a Happy Meal which consists of A PBR, a shot of whiskey, and a chili dog. Â They also have FREE darts and $2 jello or pudding shots.
If you go there, ask for Bob.
Stopped in on a Monday night right after work to throw down a few cold ones w/some friends ... I got Schlitz(ed), another got Blatz(ed), while another got Hamms(ered). Â Cheap beer! Â Hooray beer!
The decor can only be described as stark & the food choices are extremely limited. Â But, if you're looking for a simple spot with cheap beer for a little conversation, check it out. Â Ask Mabel for a Black Label.
I came here before partaking in a Thirsty Thursday with the Lansing Lugnuts. The Tin Can is a great little bar that feels crammed even if it's not busy. Right behind the bar there are fridges chock-full of canned beer. Strohs, PBR, Natural Light, Budweiser, Miller...you name it, they'll pretty much have it in a can. Cheap too. I know they had some unique cans of beer as well. Right next to the fridge are a bunch of munchies in the salty and delicious variety.
Definitely a cool spot to hang out at and pre-drink before going out on the town or Lugnuts game. I wouldn't consider this place a dive bar yet though. Jon T. hit it on the head, once the regulars scuff off the place a bit, it will be a dive bar in no time. And I'm thinking after a few more Thirsty Thursday Lugnut games it's shine will be dull in no time. And that's a good thing.
How do you describe a place that carries pbr, pbr tallboys, natty light, strohs and all the usual suspects, in a can...and only a can? Â I call it comfy and filled with real people looking to have a good time. Â
If the regulars can just scuff it up a bit and take some of the new shine off the place, it will feel a bit more like a dive bar as advertised. Â
If that's not enough, pricing is great and they have hot dogs. Â Yeah buddy!
