Our focus shifts to the Peanut Barrel, located on Grand River between Bailey St. and M.A.C. The restaurant and bar has been a staple of the East Lansing community for three decades. It is avery popular alumni hangout that tends to feature an older crowd on the weekends of a special event. Patrons of the Peanut Barrel love the place because it is an escape from the loud atmosphere present at many other local bars.
The Peanut Barrel features several televisions, a pool table, and a handful of class arcade games. They are known for their large, juicy hamburgers that have attracted customers for decades. The "Rodeo Burger", containing cheese and bacon, is considered the most popular of hamburger choices at the restaurant. It is the most expensive hamburger on the menu, but at a price of $4.75, it is very reasonable on a relative scale.
On weekends of big Spartan athletic events, The Peanut Barrel draws a significant pre and post game crowd. Although some people choose to watch games there, it is not considered an ideal viewing place for a game in comparison to a restaurant like Buffalo Wild Wings. It is common for The Peanut Barrel to become heavily crowded about half an hour after the conclusion of any athletic event.
Between the juicy burger and similarly priced wraps (try the Italian), there are plenty of delicious and affordable options on this menu. The bar has every type of liquor the average person could desire, and the beer list is extensive with no fewer than 30 varieties offered at any given time. I recommend The Peanut Barrel if you are interested in a calmer, relaxed setting and affordable bar food.
