Art’s Bar

Had the 12″ chicken pizza delivered to my hotel tonight. Quite delicious, still hot, and the cheese was still stringy! I was exceptionally impressed with the crust as well — good flavor and texture. The order took under an hour and the delivery guy was pleasant.

One of the best pizza places in lansing no need for extra cheese as the ninja turtle slices are as cheezy as they get interesting selection in assorted pizzas like taco pizza think I ate in once and service was just ok or this would be 5 stars.

I’d call it a dive bar. But the waitress was too nice. I want the true dive bar experience. Where the waitress and other patrons shoot you glances that say, ‘what are YOU doing here’ .I ordered the chicken fingers and my friend ordered a burger. They did not ask him how he wanted it cooked. He said it was sufficiently juicy though. The fries are sub par. Chicken fingers were fantastic. 3 dollar enormous beers which is a redeeming factor. I was in the bathroom at the urinal when a drunken patron stumbled in and bumped me while I was pissing. This gave me stage freight and it took a couple minutes to regain my bearings. Value is great, great environment. Would return.

Old school dive bar. Giant beers, good pizza and burgers. Kids even liked it. Watched the Packers sneak out a game with the Cowboys.

One of my favorite Lansing bars. When I have visitors in from out of town we go for Schoops and a pie! Thumbs up for Art’s Bar!

This is the kind of pizza where 1 or 2 slices gets you full. It tastes really good. The sauce is great and the crust is good. They also use quality toppings.

”Dive” right into Art’s!
Cheap beers. Pizza that is good to start with and only gets better the more you drink.
Wait staff was friendly, as we’re most of the other customers. Several TV’s to watch for sporting events.
It isn’t all that pretty to look at but very fun and very casual. Enjoy your visit in”pike position.”

Perfect dive bar. Order a «shooper” — a giant goblet of your favorite beer. Honestly yes, the pizza is lackluster, between here and DeLuca’s it’s clear Lansing people just don’t know good pizza. But the food offerings are inexpensive and plentiful, the beer flows freely, and service tends to be a riot. I say tends because on some awful night social groups will block off a whole section and scream bloody murder at each other all night– that’s not so fun. Most nights though, it’s just a chill place to grab a (large) beer and a bite.

Awww yeahhh arts bar. My dad used to go here after work when I was little and he can’t believe I love to go there now. Huge schoopers of beer, along with phenomenal pizza. Staff is always super friendly. Blue collar dive, with a Michigan state theme. I love it.

This place is my favorite dive in E.Lansing.
Huge beers, good pizza, THE BEST wings in the state, cool people, and the only place in town that has free shuffleboard.
What else could you possibly want?

This pizza was ok. I don’t get the hype. Way to much cheese.

I’m not sure why everyone is jocking this place.
We finally ordered a pizza from here after hearing rave reviews.
It was basically a baked wad of cheese.
The sauce was ok, but there’s no reason to get stoked about this pizza.

If you want classic Lansing watering hole, this is it! Awesome food, excellent hole-​in-​the-​wall atmosphere, mostly original décor (complete with massive Magic-​era MSU hoops murals), table shuffleboard and a long bar to belly-​up to. And they actually have specials on decent beers! Warning: Don’t ask for extra cheese on the pizza ;-)

home of the shooper and best pizza in lansing, and marked Tuesday as best day its pizza special will fill 8 – 10 easy a must

My favorite place to get pizza, especially the half baked take home pizza. I love the goblets of beer. It doesn’t look promising from the outside, or even when you walk in, as it’s not the nicest of places, but you will be pleasantly surprised if you stay for some drinks and food.

Such a wide range of clientele but always friendly and super fun; Food is delicious; Drinks are cheap (especially beer, SHOOPERS!); Waitresses are great fun and will get to know you; Service can be a little bit slow on big game days, but it’s worth it for the atmosphere!

A great dive bar. Townies, MSU fans, and Capitalistas (made that one up) all come here if they know what’s best for them.
Art’s is a dive bar on the slightly unbeaten part of Kalamazoo. Its closest neighbors are second-​hand furniture stores and abandoned buildings, but that doesn’t stop Art’s from being a great place to get a cheap beer, good food, and watch a game.
As expected with a dive part, the draft beer selection is minimal (Bud, Bud Light, Miller Light, Labatt, and Dos Equis for an upcharge), but for a modest price ($ 3 on game days), a generous 32oz schooner glass full of it. Also with the purchase of beverage, our table got a monstrous colander of popcorn. The local’s will rave that the pizza is best in town, but I’d say its the best bar pizza in town.
Art’s additionally has a full menu comparable with other bars in the area. The curly fires a great, and the potato skins were quite good as well (albeit steak fries made from the skins of potatoes). From what I can tell, the kitchen is open relatively late.
Overall, a great dive bar. Don’t expect much class, but do expect to have a good time.

Oh Art’s Bar. I am a fan. This is my favorite dive bar in Lansing. You attract quite the odd crowd of folks, but never do you feel out of place. Your beer shoopers are a steal at $ 3 – 4 for 30 ounces of beer.
The good: Pizzas, burgers, cheap beer, service.
The bad: It’s a bar, it gets loud. If you want a quiet meal, here really isn’t the place.
Favorite dish: the BBQ chicken pizza!

I love Art’s. It is one of the few bars I enjoy going to in Lansing. We’ve had good food, including the pizza and the appetizers, and the burgers are greasy and delicious, as you would hope they would be at such a dive.
The shoopers are great, its never too loud to hear your friends, and we usually get Dori as our waitress on the weekends and she’s fantastic. Go to Arts!

Nothing beats a good dive bar. I was at the Capitol on Thursday for a rally and a group of us decided to meet up for a beer after. While I’m not from Lansing, nor do I spend any time there, I agreed to meet up at Art’s Bar. It’s about a mile walk from the Capitol, easy to get to though I wouldn’t recommend doing the walk at night. Definitely not on the beaten path, and a little rough of an area. But, during the day the walk was fine.
I have to say that the pizza is pretty good and everyone raved about their food (lots of sandiches). The beer selection sucks, but whatever, it’s a dive bar, not a gastro pub.
I would have given Art’s four stars except that I had kind of a weird experience that could have been avoided. I ordered a seltzer and when it was delivered it was simply disgusting. I thought it maybe had alcohol in it or something and when the waitress came back I told the waitress that and she said, «Yeah, our seltzer is really gross, it’s the line or something,»
Um, why not just tell me that befeore? Weird.
Despite the seltzer debacle, I definitely recommend Art’s Bar for anyone looking for a fun time at a dive bar for lunch, after hours, or whever else.
