Disappointing. I went in to look around on graduation weekend. All the other area bars were full.
This bar had me, 2 bartenders, and a restaurant manager.
Floors were sticky. So sticky you could hear each footstep as you pulled your shoe out of the gunk. Bathrooms were filthy, and that’s with nobody in the place. There was a 3 foot by 5 foot puddle of water on the floor in front of the DJ booth against the wall by the bathrooms.
I ordered one of the house beers. $5.25 and a plastic cup later, I was told they didn’t have any change in the bar cash drawers. None at all. This was at 4:30 pm on a Thursday on graduation weeked, so it’s not like they had just opened. Took about 10 minutes for the manager to get a cash drawer for the bartender.
Gross, sloppy practices, and I surely won’t be back.

I should have listened to the Google reviews. It was at 3.6 stars. I went here because every other place had a wait and it was full of OSU fans on game day. $5 cover to get in and there wasn’t even a band or anything. The gratuity is automatically put on every bill and they make you close out after every food or drink you order. Very odd. Bar tenders would take an empty bottle and not offer to refill it. Got the nachos and they were about the worst I’ve ever had. Like someone went to the grocery store and got the ingredients then dumped it on a tray and microwaved it 10 sec to melt the cheese. They do brew their own beer and the one I tried was decent.

East Lansing has so many bars and restaurants. Don’t waste your time or money at Harpers, unless you’re under the age of 21 and have a Fake ID that scans!!!

Now requires everyone to put their drink on a table before entering the bathroom ( due to people disposing drinks in toilet causing plumbing issues) but has a man watch the table. As a woman: I would not come back due to the possibility of getting roofied. It is not safe for a woman to have a untrusted man watch your drink. Complained to management : was told they have cameras sorry sir but I’d rather not get roofied then have to go back to review the cameras to see who roofied me. Get rid of the table and instead hand tickets to those who have drinks and collect ticket after they are done if they bring their drink back out. This is ridiculous and unsafe for a college campus

Wings and Long island ice tea for lunch- both subpar, sadly. Wings slathered in BBQ after being cooked, not good. Long island couldn’t even taste the alcohol. The house made crab rangoons were good but for nearly $40 I expected to feel a buzz and eat good food, oops my bad.

Decided to try this for my sons Graduation day dinner and it did not disappoint. Fun atmosphere! We probably ordered everything on the menu with our large party and it was all delicious! Service was great! Poor staff had to deal with a very loud nasty customer and still didn’t miss a beat. Has to be said! You don’t have to apologize for other people’s ugliness. Even the younger people in her party could be heard staying behind and insisting on paying for everyone’s drinks they’d had and apologizing for her behavior.
Thanks Harper’s for making our special day awesome! We’ll be back!

Worst experience I ever had. It was my son‘s graduation. We went in with nine people. No one was there when we got there at 3:30. It took about 15 minutes to 20 minutes to get our drinks. He had to print off a new menus for us to order off of. We ordered and then he collected all the menus and took it to another table about six or seven people, we waited another hour and 20 minutes and then he came out with the other people’s food before ours and said he was waiting on a pizza for our order which we never ordered a pizza. Worst service I’ve ever had. I don’t recommend this place to anybody. Couldn’t even bring out our appetizers. So they lost my business and about $300 in a food order.

Harpers was amazing. The bartender Leann was fantastic from the start. Smiling and great personality. We ordered the Grab Ragoons to start. Perfects crispy and melted in the middle. They make them in house. Then for our main course we got the mushroom Swiss burger and FF. Oh my lord. Amazingness! That’s all I have to say. This place is amazing. I’ll def be back!

Cheapest bar in the world. Managed to water down every drink I’ve ordered and add gratuity to every check. Don’t come here.
