Hinano Cafe

Parking: Metered, Paid Lot, Street
Dive Darts, Pool Tables Moderately noisy 21+ Beach

Considering its dingy décor and a clientele that can look a little rough at first blush, most people are shocked when they take their first bite of an Hinano burger. It is, simply, one of the better burgers in town—unfussy and classic. Coupled with a bag of chips and beer that is unusually cold, Hinano’s is one of the best stops you can make when you’re checking out the bar scene on the wet end of Washington Blvd. It’s the ideal sort of dive: two pool tables sit in the back room; there’s sawdust all over the floor; and you can even serve yourself a free basket of fresh popcorn from the popper in the corner. On most nights, it’s fairly crowded with friendly locals looking for a relaxed time. Get there before nine o’clock if you want to sit in one of the prized stools at the bar. You won’t leave once you’ve got one.
