BASTONE MEDIA DAYS by Alex Conley


MCB's Alex Conley was invited down for Bastone Media Days
this past Wednesday where they unveiled the new menu for sampling and review.

Bastone of Royal Oak invited media from all over Detroit to sample the new menu, which includes more pocket friendly selections with an emphasis on comfort food.
This adds to an well established menu that has kept me coming back for over a year now.
The focus for 2009 will be placed on there selection of award winning beer's, all crafted by
Brewmaster Rockne Van Meter. Rockne took a silver medal home late last year at the Great American Beer Festival for the seasonal, Bastone Münchner Dunkel.
The Bastone campus also has an excellent wine bar just next door called Vinotecca. This cool, none-smoking bar has just about everything for the casual to serious wine sipper.
If you like your music loud and your clubs dark and smokey, the Commune would be the place to check out first. This club has great atmosphere and serves the same award winning brews and great mixed drinks.

The last on the list but not least, Cafe Habana. This a great little place for some of the best Cuban dishes around. The Carne Asada steak is simply awesome and the dining is intimate yet never overcrowded.
