“ One of my favorite bars in East Lansing! They got good prices, good food, and great drinks. The shot tour is pretty great, and it's always lively, but not over-crowded. You can't go wrong here. ”
“ This is my new favorite place to eat and drink. The stuffed burger I had was so damn good that I dreamt about it last night. I consider myself a low key burger conniesuer and it is The Best I have ever tasted. I had the Popper burger for those curious. Even the fries were delicious. The bartender was busy but still friendly and before we left we wrote our names on the chalkboard paint covered walls. I can't wait to go back! ”
“ Tin Can rocks! So much fun to be had there! Love the shot and beer tours and the bartenders are all so nice! I was skeptical of the food but it’s actually so so good! My favorite bar ”
“ Tin Can East Lancing is a good place to relax, enjoy some games, watch sports while enjoying some bar food. My first time here didn’t include the night life aspect but I just wanted a drink and something for lunch. I thoroughly enjoy their mac and cheeseburger as well as their breaded wings and I get it almost every single time I’m hungry here. Depending on the day, sometimes the bar can get day busy but at night it’s a lot livelier. Bar food is great, a lot of fried snacks, burgers, wings, pizza, this restaurant/ bar does offer a lot. I know it doesn’t sound the healthiest bar but they do offer slightly healthier options like wraps. They have a good selection of beers and local beers and they almost always have pudding shots which are fun that always come in different flavors. It is a nice alternative to jello shots. But of course, they don’t just offer beer but they have straight liquor too, so a little something for everyone. The best way to park here is paid parking and probably catching a, “cab.” As far as the night life goes, it can get pretty busy, it’s a popular spot near MSU campus ”
“ First time I went here was for dinner with a friend. Definitely not a place to go to if you’re looking for a good burger. Burger was bland and menus were kinda sticky as well. However, this is an amazing place to pregame before the bars/spend a chill night out. It has all the things I like to do when I’m slightly inebriated: beer pong, darts, and you can even use chalk to draw giant shlongs on the wall. Really brings out your creative side. ”
“ I celebrated my birthday this past week and one of our stops was Tin Can. We loved playing water pong and being able to control music on the jukebox. Both the blonde and brunette bartenders helped us pick out tasty shots for me as I don’t like it when they taste too much like alcohol. We also started a shot tour which I thought was really cool (probably won’t finish it but still cool). I don’t know any other bars that do that down here in Virginia! We will definitely be coming back again ”
“ First time here. Wife was here with our daughter and her boyfriend and raved about the stuffed burger. We shared one - was amazing. Did a few shots and hung out for a bit before catching a Lyft back. Dave was covering the bar and was great. ”
“ Great experience after a game! Enjoyed it thoroughly. Lots of drink and food options. ”
