The Habitat

Ah, drinking around the corner from your house will NEVER get old. And it is for that precise reason that I am amped about The Habitat, which opened its doors this past week. Being the on-the-cusp Beauty I am, I hi-tailed my buns with a few Slungy fellas down to Huron and Manhattan Ave for some Habitat hospitality. I've been peeking at this place for the past few months, hedging my bets initially on what it might be (I was hoping for BBQ, judging from the log cabin facade that went up early in the building process) but I was more than excited that a funky new bar was opening up so close, in fact if this were the SAT's you could assume that: Boulevard Tavern is to My Old Place as The Habitat is to My New Place!

All that aside the Habitat is a cozy, dark, inviting bar that you can really settle into or start off your date at. Upon entrance we were handed a menu of their brews and 'tails as well as - bar snacks! They have 12 beers on tap, even more in bottles and "Good Eats" that Alton Brown himself would approve of, including salads, twice baked potatoes, empanadas, mini-burgers, and waffle fries! There isn't a whole lotta room inside, so probably not the best place to hold a birthday smash, but great atmosphere, friendly staff and flat screen Cohen Brother's Films will help you get your evening off to a great start.

I look foreword to making this a new hangout of sorts and I'm sure I'll be expanding on the awesomeness that is The Habitat. Other things I can't wait to test out are Huckleberry Bar, Redds Tavern and Action Burger!
