A new restaurant and bar is coming to
Downtown Lansing, with an eye on a very specific goal: being a friendly place.
“I want it to be the Cheers of Lansing,” says owner of the newly opened The Board Room, Dan Korrey. “I want the staff to build a relationship with our customer base, and to what they like to eat and drink when they come in the door.”
The Board Room, which is planning a soft open this week with a limited menu, is in the 3,600 square f
oot location formally occupied by the Downtown Doghouse.
“We completely remodeled the whole place,” said Korrey. “There is an all new design, all new kitchen, floor and a new bar.”
A grand opening is likely to happen some time in April. Korrey want to concentrate first on build and train a staff to meet his high standards for customer service.
“I think the quality of staff will reflect a lot in how our customers view us,” he says. “We want to create the kind of place where people want to start their night and then come back to end their night.”
Korrey anticipates hiring around 20 employees to fully staff The Board Room. Interested applicants may visit the bar's
website. Updates regarding the grand opening event will also be posted on the website and The Board Room’s Facebook page.
