As many people can attest to, spending too much time coop-
ed up in a dorm room and always eating the stuff Food Services
wants to serve you can be hazardous to your mental and physi-
cal stability. It is in this light that we offer you this short guide
on where to please your palate in and around AnnArbor.
GANDY DANCER 401 Depot
If you've just won in the Michigan lottery or just feel like
spending a load, the Gandy Dancer is for you. Their specialty is
seafood, the decor is great. Located in a renovated train station.
WIN SHULER'S 3600 Plymouth
Another expensive one with decent food. Try their french
onion soup. Don't go here on Mother's Day or other big holidays
because you will be waiting in line for hours.
CRACKED CRAB 112 W. Washington
Very reasonably priced seafood. Even though it is served on
paper plates, the seafood is probably the best in town.
WHIFFLE TREE 208 W. Huron
Attracts all types of people-from students to business types.
The drinks and food are good at reasonable prices. Good atmos-
phere to socialize.
METZGER'S 203 E. Washington
A place where middle class townspeople frequent regularly.
Good German food at very modest prices. Informal atmosphere
-one of the best restaurants in town.
And as even more people can attest to, there are times to
party down and there are times to PARTY DOWN. Invariably,
partiers end up at local liquor establishments to complete their
task. Bars in Ann Arbor are varied-like night and day-so we
again give you a guide, this time to quenching your thirst.
THE DERBY BAR
There's an old
don't say anything
Ann St.,
proverb: "If you can't say
at all." We won't . . .
near City Hall
anything nice,
DEL RIO
122 W. Washington
One of the favorite bars among Ann Arborites. Has a good
mixture of working people and students in a very congenial at-
mosphere. They serve more beer for your dollar than most
other bars. Heineken, and other light and dark beer on tap. Also
the best hamburgers in town, called the Detburger-a combina-
tion of olives, mushrooms, cheese and hamburger. Jazz and
folk on the weekends with no cover charge.
DOMINIC'S
812 Monroe St.
INDIAN SUMMER
315 S. State
As most natural foods restaurants go, Indian Summer is no
exception. Good daily specials that are fairly inexpensive. Their
freshly squeezed orange juice is great, though just a bit over-
priced.
EDEN 330 Maynard St.
Another good natural foods joint. They have what they call
"chapatis," an unleavened pouch that can be filled with just
about-anything but meat. Good soups and very reasonable prices.
WOLVERINE DEN 1201 S. University
Undoubtedly the greasiest spoon in town, with the absolute
worst coffee. But they stay open all night and have decent
prices. Probably a step above dorm food.
BROWN JUG 1204 S. University
Definitely better than its counterpart across the street, the
Den. Their fare is mostly sandwiches though they serve pizza,
and beer before 2:00 a.m. They usually close at about 3:00 each
morning.
A lot of English professors hold their classes here-a hang-
out of many intellectual types. Upstairs has good Italian food
while sandwiches are featured downstairs. They serve beer, and
the prices are reasonable. The opposite end of the spectrum of
Chances Are.
PRETZEL BELL 120 E. Liberty
Very, very expensive-hamburgers cost upwards of $2.50.
The atmosphere is slightly less than wierd with patrons being
encouraged to carve their names in the wooden tables. At one
time this restaurant was a place for frat and sorority people.
Now the V Bell has taken the honor. They frequently have blue-
grass bands.
ANGELO'S 1100 Catherine
Go here for the best breakfast in town. Good waffles and
home-made bread at good prices. Friendly people.
OLD CHINA 505 W. Cross, Ypsilanti
Absolutely the best Chinese food this side of Detroit. Expen-
sive though, excellent hot and sour soup.
BLIND PIG
208 S. First
A great bar to listen to music, mostly blues and some jazz.
Classical at times. Good atmosphere although it gets crowded
downstairs where the bands play. Upstairs is a bit more spread
out and a good place to sit and talk. Decent food, especially the
soups, for reasonable prices. Watch out for the cover charges
though. Some of the, best blues can be had at the Blind Pig.
STAR BAR Main St.
One of the Ann Arbor bar scene's last remaining blue collar
purist joints, the Star offers good beer, no-nonsense service and
an eye-opening reminder of why you go to college in the first
place. The proletarian setting is authentic right down to the
lewd vending machine in the men's ,room.
MR. FLOOD'S PARTY 120 W. Liberty
A veritable museum of turn-of-the-century bric-a-brac,
Flood's can't be topped for settle-back-in-your-chair vibes and
friendly service. Live music every night, country western, blues
and folk/rock. Cover varies from fifty cents to one dollar.
VILLAGE BELL 1321 S. University
Son of the Pretzel Bell, Clint Castor's South U enclave sports
carpeted ceilings, three dollar pitchers, no live music and hordes
of cackling sorority girls--enough to send all but the most
garrulous Greeks packing.
OLD HEIDELBERG 211 N. Main
The high-brow's choice among Ann Arbor's lineup of first-
rate German restaurants, the Old Heidelberg serves up the
finest in Bavarian cuisine for those who can afford it. Neatly
tucked away below the restaurant is the Rathskeller, a nifty
little old-world affair with imported brews and embarrassingly
courteous waitresses. Bar tab can be mind-boggling, except on
Wednesday nights, when the beer flows for $1.50 per pitcher.
OLD TOWN - 122 W. Liberty
Inexpensive drinks and a nice atmosphere. No music,
though. Some food, but it is limited. Meet nice people.
BIMBO'S 114 E. Washington
Good pizza, kind of loud and rowdy. The beer flows as do
the peanuts. Moderate prices.
DOOLEY'S
310 Maynard St.
The latest in production-line drinking is the best description
of this bar. Jive atmosphere with the most expensive drinks in
town. It does have some merit however. The pizza is surprising-
ly tasty-especially when one gets the munchies. On Friday's
they have 15 cent hotdogs, a slight reprieve from the high cost
of the drinks. Unlike Chances Are, the bouncers treat you well
when you get obnoxious. The music system is excellent. Take
your drivers license.
CHANCES ARE
516 E. Liberty
RUBAIYAT
102 First
LAMPLIGHTER
421 E. Liberty
Continental dining at its mediocre. They also have a bar
(with expensive drinks) and the Spaghetti Machine downstairs.
Good oysters and not overly priced.
Reasonably priced with pretty good pizza. They also have a
bar, with the beer slightly cheaper than most places. Informal
atmosphere.
BICYCLE JIM'S
1287 S. University
Overpriced for the quality of food, this restaurant is decor-
ated like its name. The drinks are o.k., but sometimes the food
is served about as hot as a pitcher of beer.
PIZZA BOB'S 814 S. State
Undoubtedly the best pizza and submarines in town, this
spot is very popular among many student types. They've got
just about anything to please the most discriminating of tastes
in pizza/sub fare. Good prices.
VAUDEVILLE DELICATESSEN 800 S. State
1211 S. University
Early this year, this restaurant chain found itself in trouble
with the Internal Revenue Service for non-payment of back tax-
es. As a consequence, prices have gone up drastically. They
serve only the best meat and have excellent cheese cake, though.
BEST STEAK HOUSE 217 S. State
An excellent place to go if you arrive on campus before food
is served in the dorms. Good steak and potatoes for reasonable
prices.
GINO'S
BURGER KING
McDONALD'S
105 S. State
Maynard and Liberty
Maynard near Nickels Arcade
A night in this place will leave you busted in more ways
than one-especially if you get rowdy. The- bouncers are mani-
acle animals, antagonizing, shoving, kicking, elbowing, biting
and throwing anyone who looks at them cross-eyed. At least
the drinks are hand-made here and the beer is a nickel cheaper
than at Dooley's. The bar is, however, the best dance bar in
Ann Arbor. They contract some"of the best rock and roll bands
in the country, although the dancing space is not large enough.
They have been rebuffed more than once for overcrowding. The
bar is open during the day for lunches with moderate to over-
priced food. Cover charges range, depending on the featured
band, with students given a discount with their ID cards. A
word of caution: be on your best behavior when you go to this
bar, because you might not come out of it alive if you get rowdy.
CAMPUS INN BAR 615 E. Huron
The best place for that late afternoon drink. They have
happy hour every afternoon, and serve cheese and crackers.
The bar itself is in the lobby of the hotel and as you sit drink-
ing gin and tonics or sipping white wine, you can look out the
big picture window and watch the people go by.
Expensive drinks in an easy atmosphere. Reputed to have
music on the weekends.
STEVE'S LUNCH 1313 S. University
Good egg rolls, the cook is hysterical, packed on Sunday
nights, good fish dishes. Reasonably priced.
GOLDEN FALCON
314 S. Fourth Ave.
Standard fast food fare-filling, though you might cough it
up when you get home . . . plastic is hard to digest. Burger
King is out of the ordinary-decked out in blue and gold furni-
ture-and submerged below ground level. McDonald's hasn't
been built as of press time, but is expected to open in late sum-
mer. Gino's is much of the same, but has been losing business
because of the King.
LIBERTY INN
112 W. Liberty
Lotsa' old timers hang around this bar. The juke box is
chock full of country western music, and the drinks are pretty
cheap. If you want to get away from the college crowd this is
the place to do it.
FLAME 155 W. Washington
Commonly known as the gay hangout in town. Has cheap
drinks, probably the cheapest in town. They also serve right up
until 2:00, something that the other bars don't even come close
to doing. It has a rather dismal atmosphere, though.
LOMA LINDA
990 Broadway
Besides being a restaurant serving Mexican foods, the Loma
Linda has a separate bar serving exotic drinks. Extremely ex-
pensive but the drinks are very tasty. All kinds of imported
beer, also expensive. The food is ok, but that's about it.
FLICKS
114 W. Washington
THE SCENE
341 s. Main
FLEETWOOD DINER
300 S. Ashley
At last report this bar was closed. But it may reopen, and
again serve some of the cheapest pitchers in town. It has been
described as a place for "down and outers," so be prepared
when you go in.
Pseudo-discotheque type bar. Used to be the only dance bar
in town. Lights syncronized to taped music, something slightly
less than unbearable if you've had too much to drink. The
drinks are reasonably priced. They also serve pizza.
Great little restaurant with the absolute best chili in town.
Closes at 12:00 nightly; has reasonable prices.
