This may be the only place in Lansing where you’ll find a two hundred dollar shot. Don’t worry though, they offer a wide range of affordable drinks too. The metal furniture, custom made by the owner himself, is part of a décor schemed that he describes as Gothic-Industrial. Black walls feature Diego Rivera-esque murals, tributes to Lansing’s working class history. On weekends DJ Nick James spins the latest top 40. For those desiring a more private setting, VIP rooms are available to rent. Friday is considered the night to go. While the specials tend to vary, you can usually  find 3 dollar jager bombs (if that's your thing). Fashions vary, but lean towards dressy nightclub attire. No jerseys or doorags, etc.  If you want to avoid waiting in line it’s best to arrive before 10:00.  X-Cel is one of only a few nightclubs where you need only be 18 to enter.
