In what is a major touchdown for Michigan's sober community, the state just scored its first sober and recovery-oriented booze-free sports bar. Wing Heaven Sports Haven, a Michigan-based franchise, opened its doors this year in Lansing, and though it has all of the makings of your run-of-the-mill sports bar, it doesn't serve a drop of alcohol, making it the first of its kind in the state. Described as being like a Buffalo Wild Wings sans booze, Wing Heaven Sports Haven features TVs and tabletop games, like pool and air hockey, and a finger-licking menu boasting traditional and boneless wings, burgers, subs, chicken strips, fried fish, and sides like fried mushrooms, jalapeño poppers, and mountain fries (that's 1 lb. of french fries loaded up with meat, cheese, and veggies for $7.99). They recently started serving breakfast. In lieu of boozy cocktails, they offer soda, Kool-Aid, and specialty drinks, like Fizzy Pineapple Punch, Mermaid Lemonade, and the alcohol-free classic, the Shirley Temple.
