RENO’S EAST RENOVATIONS 2012
This is some unexpected news, Reno's sunk some big money into these renovations. Remember their huge patio with a partially covered back bar and awning? Well scratch that they decided to put an entire Indoor / outdoor patio, they also renovated both bathrooms. "Reno-vations also include a new bathroom with 5 (yes I said 5) stalls for women...)
That's pretty cool and we're always excited when bar owners reinvest in their establishment rather than pocket the majority of their earnings.
I feel like they need to clean up some of the clutter on the inside but it's still a pretty nice atmosphere if you like that kinda stuff. Great news to start 2012! As always hit us up on twitter with the new hashtag #ELB or @EastLansingBars!

ELB UPDATE WINTER 2011
We wanted to give you an idea what we're up to and what we want to deliver this winter, unfortunately EL has felt kinda stale lately and historically winter break is a tough time to be in East Lansing, either everyone is hibernating or out of town. So let's not get into an early winter slump here. So what do we do when things feel stale?
Well for starters we need to branch out and see what's really going on in other areas of East Lansing . We really wish we could get more interaction from the actual bars, and as always, more interaction with the fans! (Because without our fans, what good are we?!) Anyways here is what we have lined up and if you have any suggestions or comments please use the forums.
Bagger Dave's - The East Lansing / Okemos Bagger Dave's location is now open, Info page and review to come!
New Interns - More unique, informative and entertaining content. We even have a possible new to East Lansing intern on the line. It will be refreshing to see a newcomers view on what EL has to offer. Time will tell.
Updated Specials - As always our main goal is providing accurate and timely updates. We really need your help though, It's tough to keep up with the changes! If you see a new special or error please tweet at us or email us!
Twitter - More pictures, updates, notifications when cool stuff is going on.
Forum - Hopefully more of you will start registering and posting on the forum, it is in fact the best place to start a topic on anything ELB related. We've seen lots and lost of comments on our articles that would be much better served on the forum. Please check the forum out!
250,000 page views - Yes you read that correctly, this little blog is approaching a quarter million all time page views according to our analytics. That... is amazing and we'd like to thank everyone and anyone who ever visited our blog and told their friends. While this is a low key "for fun" style blog it really shows how much the community matters and how much we love a good booze special.
We realize that we aren't perfect but please continue to tell your friends and if you see an error or a mistake please let us know. We also plan on doing something special when we actually hit the quarter million mark, probably a give away of some sort so keep an eye out.
Thanks again to everyone who continues to support us and spread the word. Don't forget the Men's spartan basketball season is underway, full schedule and info here. Obviously the Men's Football Big Ten championship this weekend should be an amazing game as well.
Oh and one last thing if you're a bar owner / manager / employee and have any info or ideas to share with us don't be shy contact us for whatever reason. We would love to get involved in some creative ideas for next semester. We feel like East Lansing needs passion and creativity to avoid these stale times. Always keep your fans and drink specials in mind!
We hope everyone has a great remainder of the Fall 2011 semester as well as a great winter break / holidays!
