Looking for a chic cocktail bar with a laidback attitude but sick of your standby spot? Try Plan B--literally. Textured wallpaper, black denim banquettes and distressed leather furniture come together in a minimalist interior where you can kick back with a beer and listen to DJs spin a range of rock, old-school hip hop and more. Now, check your attitude at the door and get a cocktail already.
Owner Ryan Golden, a Michigan State University alumnus, recently declared Plan B a Spartan bar. Expect to find the TVs tuned to MSU games during football season.
