Dooley’s East Lansing

At Dooley's, two-for-one Long Island ice teas flowed on Thursday nights (because, what's better in the dead of winter than a bunch of those!). But it was way more than a place to get trashed from its opening in 1975 until the end in 1996), and if you were there on the right night, you'd have seen performances by any number of national and internally-known acts. There was dancing at the downstairs nightclub Sensations, where Magic Johnson used to boogie. Dooley's had a capacity of just under 1,000 people, and the place was forced to sell in 1996 after the East Lansing City Council refused to renew the liquor license, citing too many brawls outside the bar, as well as rampant underage drinking. Shocking, we know! In case you're a crazed U2 fan, here's their set list from that night in '81 at Dooley's.
