Joke Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 So, I feel like I've heard about a number of new bars and restos coming to Midtown, but clearly Mrs. Joke and I are in a rut because I think the last new place we've tried in the last couple years is Oporto. What are your recommendations for Midtown spots that have opened up in the last, say 2 or so years? PS - We liked Oporto. Need to try it again some time.

ToryGattis Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 My new favorites in Midtown (or nearby) are Izakaya, Dogarz Doner, Pizarro's Pizza, Piola Pizza, Pappa Charlies BBQ, Jackson St. BBQ (both of those are downtown), and Weights + Measures. Yelp can give you the details and best items at each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Definitely check out Axelrad, as it is AMAZING (and co-owned by several HAIFers)! It's also within walking distance of the Mid-Main rail stop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerNut Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Definitely check out Axelrad, as it is AMAZING (and co-owned by several HAIFers)! It's also within walking distance of the Mid-Main rail stop. I'll second this. This is my new go to place if I want to grab a beer. I like the chiller vibe compared to the typical Midtown places and It's also walking distance from my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'd prefer not to expose them without their permission. I will say that there is at least one involved in this thread so they have seen your post and can respond if obliged. Also, I'm not one of them... even though I wish I was.
