Mash Bar | Our Story

Live music, craft cocktails, and Southern soul

Live music, craft cocktails, and Southern soul

Mash Bar is East Lansing's Summer Honky Tonk — a place where a serious cocktail program, scratch-made Southern comfort food, and live country music Thursday through Saturday all share the same room. Two locations, one big idea: a night out that actually delivers.

The cocktail program is the main event — barrel-aged Mash-hattans, brown butter fat-washed Maker's, bacon fat-washed Wild Turkey. The zero-proof menu gets the same serious treatment.
The kitchen

The kitchen

Nashville Hot Sandos, pecan-crusted fried okra, André's secret recipe mac & cheese — all scratch-made, built to share over a long night of live music.
The stage

The stage

Live country music Thursday through Saturday, karaoke the rest of the week — framed by the iconic barrel-letter MASH sign and a balcony overlooking the stage.

The taps pour Michigan exclusively — North Peak, Jolly Pumpkin, Old Nation, Short's, and more on draft. The East Lansing location connects directly to Jolly Pumpkin through a shared doorway.
