Lansing Residents are Going to Miss the Airport Tavern

The Airport Tavern will be truly missed by patrons. Here's what some of them had to say;

I'm so sad, that was one of favorite places. The food, the atmosphere, it was laid back and reliable. It will be truly missed.

 

Don’t give up the ship. There are blue skies on the horizon! I’ve been going the the Airport since the 70s.

 

Many fond memories from my childhood here... This is very sad for a Lansing staple. All the best, and I hope the Tavern can get back to serving those delicious Sizzlers!

 

Hopefully, the Airport Tavern is able to reopen soon.
