The Green Door Bar & Grill

The Green Door, a vibrant and enduring staple of the Eastside, has been captivating locals and visitors alike with its dynamic history and lively atmosphere. Beginning its journey in the 1960s as a fine dining establishment, it transformed into a neighborhood blues bar, beginning its evolution into the renowned live entertainment destination it is today.

Today, The Green Door stands out as the only venue in Lansing offering live entertainment seven days a week, ensuring a bustling and energetic environment every night. The venue is particularly known for its Mondays when the crowd-favorite band, Steppin In It, gets patrons moving to the rhythms of trombones, upright bass, and the Hammond organ. Throughout the week, the venue continues to pulse with life, hosting DJs, 80s-themed bands, and comedians, creating a continuously hopping scene.

This diverse array of entertainment draws a wide range of patrons, from college students and young professionals to longstanding neighborhood regulars, some of whom have been part of the Green Door’s story for decades. This mix of audiences contributes to the pub’s friendly atmosphere, making it a place where everyone from local officials to casual pool players feels at home.
