Manager Ashley Bellamy said there will be a live performance and all sorts of great deals on fun drinks.

“During Happy Hour, it’s a dollar off all draft sizes, well liquors and wines,” Bellamy said, “We will also have a $3 Smirnoff special – any flavor!”

There will be a Public Planetarium Show on Saturday, July 6 at 8 p.m. at Abrams Planetarium, located at 755 Science Road in East Lansing.
