Ok, so I added the Blue Fig to Yelp. It used to be Pasha (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pasha-mediterranean-grill-and-restaurant-solon), which was around before I was in town. I categorized it as a bar, probably to the protests of the owners, but they can change it later. Really, this place operates best as a bar. In fact, they have pretty decent drink specials throughout the week; and it's really a beautiful building inside. The bar is towering and underutilized. They also have a full menu of bar-like food with some other "fancier" dishes thrown in (pasta of sorts, nothing grand). But to call it anything more would be kind of a stretch in my mind.
My girlfriend and I hold a special place in our hearts for the Blue Fig though for one reason. It is very close to both our home and the Solon City Hall. Have you ever sat in a City Council meeting before? Because we have. And I am surprised the whole damn town doesn't show up after one of those. The food and spirits after some drolling, mind numbing procedural meetings is always appreciated. For that much I think it would be safe to call this place our "local bar". I'm ok with that.
PS. A word to the wise, stay away at lunch. They are severely understaffed, or at least were the last time I went there for lunch.
