Western Michigan University students have always had plenty of options to choose from if they wanted to get an adult beverage, watch a game, or meet new people, one of them which was slightly off campus was Wayside West. A local sports bar that was full of TVs, classic arcade games, and autographed sports memorabilia kept people coming back for the vibe.

Almost 8 years ago in 2015, they served their last customer and the doors have been closed ever since. When recreational marijuana was legalized in Michigan, Lume Cannabis took over one side of the building and it almost solidified that Wayside West wouldn't be returning. Now, we are certain they aren't returning as they have announced an auction for merchandise currently inhabiting the inside space.
