Airport Cafe Eyes Liquor License | Grand Rapids News

Lee-Lee’s Crosswinds Cafe West at Muskegon County Airport is on track to get a liquor license, turning its breakfast-only spot into a full-service evening hub with local beer and spirits—just in time for travelers and locals to unwind before or after flights. Owner Lee Ann French dreams of extending hours to 8 PM, serving homestyle dinners like walleye and pork chops, and hosting community events under the open sky where planes soar. With approval from the county commission and support from airport director Ken Efting—who sees alcohol sales as key to modernizing the terminal and boosting air traffic—the cafe aims to become a beloved community gathering place, welcoming everyone from flyers to neighbors. Alcohol could hit shelves as early as December—or possibly by early 2027. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
