Derek C.'s Profile

Been getting my haircut here since I moved to Chicago. $20 for a consistent haircut is not bad in my book. Also, you get to hear all the old timers come in and talk about the good 'ol days. This place has been here since '56, I think, with the original barbers. I personally go to Clint who is the younger barber in the shop.

Went here before going to see a show and was pleasantly surprised. I expected the wine to be great and the food to be OK, but it was actually the opposite.

Wine: we did the bin 36 flight, I do not recommend this flight. None of the wines were bad, but there was nothing exciting about any of them. I would try a different flight or make my own next time

Cheese: we did the American cheese flight and it was amazing. This is a must have in my eyes. What moved Bin 36 from 3 stars to 4 stars is the fact that they carried 2 cheeses from Zingermans, one of my favorite places in Ann Arbor. In the American cheese flight you get the Bridgewater from Zingermans which is superb.

Soup & Salad: we had the market salad and shrimp bisque were both very good. I would say that the salad is a must have with great fresh pepper, brie, pears, and vinaigrette dressing.

Meal: we had the marlin which which came on a bed of mashed potatoes and topped with onion rings. The dish was fantastic, lots of pepper, well cooked, and a lot of flavors going on.

Atmosphere: Nice open space with a very welcoming feel. The two person tables on the side are close together, but that is pretty common for the city, I feel.

This is a great spot for a group of 4-8 friends that are looking for a somewhat low key evening. We went and played a lot of board games and had some good beer. The bar isn't big, but it has a nice welcoming feel to it even though there are creepy things on the ceiling.

They had some decent beer selections with a few taps and a bottle selection. The one thing I would say is you don't want to go with a huge group because it makes playing board games a pain.

When visiting a friend in Salt Lake he recommended we stop by Park Cafe for breakfast and man was his recommendation spot on. Upon walking up you could tell that this was a local favorite because of the long wait. Inside has a nice modern diner feel and the outside patio seating included a large fire place.

I ordered the 'Eutaw Omelet' and I must say it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. The food was fresh, well prepared, and incredibly tasty. The service was very good too, the coffee and water was always full.

If I find myself in Utah, I will go out of my way to eat breakfast here again!

Checked this place out on a Monday with 10 co-workers after doing a stop at IU. We went based on the recommendation of the strombolis and 'sink the biz.' Neither of which disappointed! Also, we split a bucket of the 'intense fries' and man were they INTENSE.

Overall, the service sucked, but we were visiting a college bar on a Monday night so we had very little expectations. The atmosphere seems like it would be the local college drinking hole, but it was a Monday so it was rather dead.

If I find myself in Bloomington I will stop by for a beer and a stromboli.

I went here on a Saturday morning for breakfast with a friend and I was very happy with the food and the service.

Food: I had the 2 egg sausage sandwich and for $3.50, you can't beat it. It was very good breakfast sandwich that was just the right amount of food for breakfast. My friend had an omelette that looked equally as good, but a little more food than I was after.

Service: Our waitress did an awesome job of keeping the coffee flowing so there was never a time where we were sitting with an empty cup of joe. This did seem to be a popular dinner so they did their best to scoot us along, but they were very polite.

If you're in the area, you should add this spot into your weekend breakfast rotation.

I had breakfast here with a few friends on a Sunday morning. It was very crowded, I recommend getting there early if you don't want to wait. One of the things I was most impressed with was their tea and coffee selections. We opted to go for a french press of some Costa Rican coffee, it was very good.

I had the farmhouse omelette which came with some amazing potatoes. Overall it was fantastic dish and rather large.

The atmosphere and service were both relaxed. We didn't feel rushed at all and were able to take our time.

Definitely recommend this place to be added to the breakfast staples of Ann Arbor.

As everyone has said, get the burger, you won't regret it. A few friends took me to this place and at first I didn't feel the dark lights and leather booths matched a burger place, but once the food is in front of you, all thoughts are lost.

The beer selection was incredible as well. We were focused on the food, but they have a nice selection of bottles and a few impressive rotating taps I noticed.

Hamburger fans must try this place!

Went here twice on my business trip to Boston and there is a reason I went back. I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere here. Both times I sat at the bar, my place of choice.

Food: The calamari is a great starter. I have tried the chicken pasta dish and 2 of the pizzas. All of which are really solid dishes, nothing to change your perspective on food, but overall quality food.

Atmosphere: This is what brought me back to this place, it just made me comfortable for some reason. I would mention, as others have, be careful if you get seated by the pizza oven in the summer, it gets hot!

If you want a low key evening with some simple dishes and quality atmosphere, swing by Figs when you're in the Beacon Hill area.

My 4 stars are based on atmosphere and beer alone since I didn't eat.

Beer: I had 3 samples - Tale Pale Ale, YouEnjoyMyStout, and Easy Ryder. These beers were all very good and I was happy to find this brew pub with a week left in my Boston trip.

Atmosphere: Sat out on the beautiful patio surrounded by red brick buildings on a 70 degree Sunday afternoon. That's right, doesn't get much better!

If you are a beer fan and find yourself in Cambridge, it is worth the visit.
