Mike's Bar and Grill, how I love thee...let me count the ways:
1) Huge beer list with a great craft draft selection that changes each week at least.
2) Solid staff. Michelle, behind the bar, is the biggest sweetheart you'll ever meet. All the girls working there are super nice and willing to make food and beer suggestions, chat or leave you alone if you so desire.
3) THE FOOD. Mike's does bar food the way I dream about bar food. The sweet potato fries? Something fierce. The black bean burger? Too good. The actual burger? A juicy delight. Add a fried egg and Gouda, thank me later.
4) Mike, the owner, hangs around, serves food and gives high fives. Support this man because he supports Berea.
5) Ambiance. Jukebox full of good tunes, twinkle lights and old timey adverts.
This is the sort of place you gather friends. The sort of place you bring a the man in your life that loves a good stout. Or even the place you bring your mom for lunch.
If you find yourself in Berea and are in need of a good bite or a good beer...get to Mike's and snag a seat.
