The Bar: World Famous since 1962. Known for the best burger in town. Located on Washington Blvd, this place is the happening spot. 20 feet from the sand. The building inside is U-Shaped with a bar down the middle. The bar seats roughly 20 people, with tables all over. Saw dust on the floor makes for a semi slippery surface especially when drunk. The east side of the bar is for drinking and ordering food, the west side is for live music and playing pool.
The Crowd: Very diverse. Locals, College and Tourists. Step outside and it's a whole new experience. Street performers and homeless trying to make a quick buck.
Service: We arrived shortly before 8pm and it was slammed. Could hardly walk through the bar, needless to say, service was slow with only 2 bartenders.
Prices: Very reasonable considering the location and popularity. Couldn't give you an exact price on anything since my tab was picked up by a friend. (Thanks Jason)
Entertainment: Live entertainment Friday through Sunday, College and NFL package, three pool tables, happy hour Mon-Fri 4-8, and daily drink specials.
Restroom: Smaller than an airplane and filthy as fuck, but what do you expect from a place that is packed from open to close.
Closing statement: This is a good starter bar if you plan on hitting more than once spot. This street has a lot of bars on it and they seem less crowded than this particular spot. The beer was cold and the food was excellent. I will definitely hit this spot again when in the area.

We rate  Hinano Cafe a 5 out of 5.
