| - A University of Michigan fan absolute must! Have I visited every U of M fan hang in town? No, but even so, I am confident that Inn Zone on Rainbow is the most spirited Go Blue establishment within a 300 mile radius. The walls are painted yellow and blue; the floor is tiled with a giant M; the bartender plays the appropriate cow bell melodies, and if I had a $1 for every time the regulars shouted "Fuck Ohio!" I would be about $100 richer. This is all thanks to an old school, charming bartender named Jaime. He grew up a fan, and when he was hired here, his one requirement: it had to become a Michigan bar.
Jaime is super friendly. It's a spot where regulars know each other (they're having a chili cook off on November 5th!), and the drinks are cheap. You can get some bar grub for cash only at a little window in the back. There are pool tables, video poker (of course), a CONGO pinball game and Golden Tee Live.
It is a fun place to watch a game, but the smoke level left its mark on me. I was hacking away for a couple of days after spending an entire game perched at the bar and screaming at the tube. Perhaps, the smart plan is to go for the second half only.
