Harper's Restaurant & Brew Pub

Harper's Restaurant & Brew Pub stands as East Lansing's beloved dining destination since 1997, proudly holding the title of Best East Lansing Restaurant for three consecutive years as recognized by State News Best Of Awards. Located at 131 Albert Avenue in the heart of East Lansing, this family-owned establishment has become a cornerstone of the local community, offering an exceptional blend of handcrafted beers, made-from-scratch dishes, and warm hospitality. The kitchen prides itself on farm-to-table ingredients, serving handcrafted burgers, house-made pizzas like the popular Spinach Pesto with fresh spinach, local goat and feta cheeses, roasted onions, and pine nuts. Harper's distinguishes itself with a unique line of gluten-reduced beers, brewed using an enzyme derived from Aspergillus niger that breaks down gluten proteins, tested through Great Lakes Scientific to ensure levels below 10 ppm. The venue offers extensive private event capabilities accommodating up to 500 guests in their main space or the Club Rush lower level. Beyond dining, Harper's demonstrates remarkable community commitment through Giveback Nights, having donated over $450,000 to various causes. Their sustainability initiatives are equally impressive, recycling 116,000 bottles annually, providing 44,000 pounds of grain to local farmers, and repurposing 1,100 gallons of cooking oil. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, Harper's creates an inviting atmosphere where locals and Michigan State University students gather to enjoy premium craft beer and elevated pub fare.
