Unable to get a burger and brew at Hinano yesterday? That is because it was the location for a new TV pilot in which it doubled as dive bar in Minnesota. Great location, as some of the crew we know are Venice locals that were able to ride their bicycles to work. Later in the day the crew moved down the street to shoot at Canali Cafe.
