EateriesGalore! There’s a taste of something for everyone at Down town’s many restaurants – from a burger and a beer at The Torch, to an elegant meal at Cork on Saginaw or tapas and a martini at 501 Bar & Grill. You can enjoy a satisfying sandwich or super-delicious salad for lunch at Hoffman’s Deco Deli and Cafe. Prefer a cool vintage vibe? Pop into Cafe Rhema for an espresso. Treat yourself to Grandpa’s Berry Rhubarb crepe and a latte at Flint Crepe Company. A little further down Saginaw St., Churchill’s Food & Spirits serves up draft beer, craft cocktails, a full menu and live music. Keep heading north and you will find Soggy Bottom Bar, a local favorite.The truffle fries are a must-try! Also on the list and a Flint institution, the White Horse Tavern is a great place to go for one of their famous pizzas and a nightcap. (They serve breakfast, too!) These are just a few of Downtown Flint ’s distinctive restaurants – keep an eye out for Blackstone’s Smoke house and some great places for Mexican fare!
