The editorial take
LFG Gaming Bar treats its beverage menu as part of the game. The cocktail list runs 18 drinks deep, with names and ingredients pulled from video-game characters and themes, and several pours built on Michigan spirits like Gin and Journeyman Featherbone Bourbon. The beer side is organized by style, with ABV and pour sizes listed, and leans on Michigan breweries including Bell's, Short's, and New Holland. A dedicated non-alcoholic section and a small sake and soju selection round out the options.
- What should I order?
