Youngstown State's Secret Weapon MVR

Recently I journeyed to a local favorite just behind Youngstown State University. Cassese's MVR is a historic bar and restaurant that many YSU students go to get a nice sit down meal or perhaps a quick pint. Join me as I dive on in a student favorite. As always if you missed my last post last week you can catch it here. Enjoy!



Atmosphere:
Walking into MVR you are introduced to some local sports memorabilia that sets the mood for a down to earth experience. Walking into the lobby you see the historic bar that has stood the test of time. One can imagine the stories the bar could tell if it could talk. The restaurant is quite small on the inside so if you plan to go here during peak hours you may have to wait. Although I can assure you the wait will be worth it. The over all atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming it is a nice place to spend hours with friends and catch up, you may even find a few YSU alumni dining inside. Below is a picture of what the original MVR bar looked liked.


Food:
Alright it is now time to talk about 
the part you have all been waiting for. 
The food, how is it?
Overall the food I have eaten from MVR has been great. The appetizers are very good, I recommend the fried zucchini. For a main course I would recommend any of the Italian dishes they offer, the other day I enjoyed a chicken parmigiana sandwich with a side of fries. The fries were so good i had to order a second helping! A friend of mine had a cheese burger with bacon on it and said that as well was very good. I have tried a few of their pasta meals and have not been disappointed yet. If you want to check out there menu you can right here.

One of my local favorites where all the bartenders know my name and I have my own personal booth is none other than Inner Circle YSU. Many students including myself call Inner Circle a second home.  Join me as I dive on in a student favorite. As always if you missed my last post last week you can  catch it here . Enjoy! Atmosphere: Walking into Inner Circle Pizza on YSU campus is a great example of a college watering hole. The restaurant is split into 2 separate sections. The sit down dining room is on the left with tables and booths, on the right is a beautiful bar surrounded by booths and tables. When you walk into Inner Circle you will be greeted by a smile and hopefully a cold glass of your favorite drink. Play a game of pool or put some dollars into the jukebox, because this is the place to be if you're on campus. Food: Alright now the moment you've been waiting for the food.  We start off again with the appetizers, the chips at Inner C...

Welcome to BJ's Brewhouse! BJ's originally started as a pizza shop before they became a brewhouse and restaurant. Now, years later they offer 18 delicious unique pizzas. Ranging from a tavern-cut, deep dish and made-to-order combinations. They craft their hand-pressed deep dish pizza dough to be double proofed. Meaning the dough rises twice, which makes it look and taste better making it difficult to have only one slice. Here are some of the great things this local restaurant has to offer!
