Was Elise Corkery at Esquire a mag?
This is one of Lansing's premiere alternative lifestyle destinations: it caters to the older crowd but is now and has always been a hip bar with a personality. Gay friendly. Good events on the holidays. Absolutely love the people and the relaxed atmosphere. Great place to spend a Friday night. View all feedback.

What Camille Romaguera dislikes about Esquire:
The bartenders are great. That's about all I can say. Well, that and come with friends if you're not from here because there are a lot of regulars who enjoy being rude. View all feedback.

The person who stole my friend's IDs confronted the police (in a rather peculiar setting, no less), simply because he suspected my friend had a fake ID. However, it was a legitimate state-issued ID and definitely not counterfeit.
