Shame on your for continuing to conduct business. I was a student at MSU once that didn't care either, now my Mom has stage 3 cancer. It's up to you as a business to point college students in the right direction and take the COVID 19 outbreak seriously. Instead, you're spreading the virus from asymptomatic carriers (students) to the immunosuppressed and elder population across Michigan.

Same as ever! I hadn’t been in for 25 years. Reasonably priced drinks and a very attentive bartender. More in line with MSU students, but pleased they actually stay open until 2:00 on Monday night. A beer pong table and corn hole set up to entertain the target demographic. We enjoyed a pitcher at the bar. Won’t be a quarter century until the next visit...
