The 49 best bars and drinks in Cleveland

A Bucket List Bar That Exceeds All Expectations! I've had Porco Lounge & Tiki Room on my bucket list for ages, and we finally got to visit during a recent road trip. To say I was blown away is a complete understatement. This place isn't just a bar; it's an experience. While I've been to a few tiki bars, this was my partner's first time, and the staff made it absolutely perfect for her. The bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, patiently walking her through the menu and the whole tiki cocktail culture. They made her feel welcome and excited, which made the visit even more special. Every single thing we ordered was a home run. The cocktails were expertly crafted, perfectly balanced, and dangerously delicious. And the food? The Pinoy dishes were out of this world (and reminded me of home)—so flavorful and the perfect complement to our drinks. The vibe, the drinks, the food, and especially the amazing staff all add up to an unforgettable experience. It's a 5/5 across the board from me, but if I could give it 100,000 stars, I would. We're already planning how we can get back to Cleveland just to visit Porco again!

We had an amazing time, we are originally from ky and my husband loves tiki anything and everything, we were so excited to have found proco!!! The staff is absolutely wonderful! We couldn't have asked for s better time. First time in Cleveland best place to go. The food was chefs kiss ❤️💋 We did accidently get charged an extra drink that we didnt have but honestly no big deal. Mistakes happen we had a wonderful time will come again

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! If anyone has had the opportunity to experience a Tiki Bar, this one doesn’t fall short of expectations at all! This was my first time at Porco and it will NOT be the last! The drinks set the standard for Tiki Bars, and I loved how they provided a guide to the “experience” level the patron would like to achieve directly on the menu. I didn’t delve too far into the food menu, but the sliders and fries did not let me down. I was a bit disappointed they were out of the mango dessert, however. Other than that, the experience was amazing. Our waitress, Nina, made sure of that!!

The fries were abysmal, especially for the price, but the burger and tempura shrimp were pretty good. The drinks though… my god. The welcome cocktail, a daiquiri, blew my socks off when we walked in the door. The navy grog and holo holo were genuinely exceptional, and the bali bali and jet pilot were great. Can’t wait to go back!

Did not eat here just had drinks, but heard the food is good. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. The Tiki theme is everywhere and we loves it. Gave us good inspiration for our own tiki bar at home. The drinks were tasty and even gave us some cookies. Tasty as well. We will definitely come back when we travel this way again!

🌺🍹 “The Mai Tai Mecca of Cleveland!” 🍹🌺 This is the can’t-miss oasis in Cleveland, a true port of call for any tiki adventurer. I blew in on a work trip and from now on, Porco will be my first stop every time I drop anchor in this city. Nina was a top-notch bartender and a true steward of the Porco spirit: part historian, part storyteller, and 100% cocktail sorceress. Every drink was a masterpiece in a mug. The atmosphere? Pure escapism. You’re surrounded by historic tiki treasures from across the country, a jaw-dropping mug collection, and an energy that transports you straight to the South Seas (no passport required). Already counting the days until my next voyage to Cleveland. I’ll be back at the Porco barstool, rum in hand, and a big grin on my face. 🌴🍍🍒

To get this authentic of a Tiki Lounge this far north is real treat. AMAZING, unpretentious service by the team at Porco, making you feel welcome and comfortable in an environment that can be somewhat overwhelming to the uninitiated. The menu is limited, but delicious none-the-less. The drinks are second to none, and crafted with the utmost care. By today's barroom standards, the flat $18-per-cocktail price seems like a downright bargain! I sampled quite a few on my visit, with the Painkiller being the most delicious and the Zombie being the most visually pleasing (and potent!) I encourage visitors to the CLE to make a detour to the Porco Lounge--you won't be disappointed.

The drink I had was pretty good, but for the price, it didn't blow me away. I tried to ask the server for a recommendation, which went no where. For a place of this caliber I would expect them to be able to talk a little more confidently about the drinks.

A Cleveland Gem. We popped in here on our last night in town & stayed for hours we enjoyed it so much. Low lights, cozy ambiance, jazz softly filling the room, and cocktails that are true works of art. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced drinks..timeless. Live piano music by Don made it the perfect note to end our trip on . Note: didn’t have the food but everything we had here was top notch. Just go already! Cheers

An absolute gem! This cocktail bar offers amazing vibes, live music sessions and a great selection of cocktails, its quality is as good as the best cocktail bars I have been in New York, London, Hong Kong or Paris. A must visit!

The cocktail menu is the most extensive I've found in Cleveland - truly something for everyone. Highly recommend checking out the seasonal drinks.

I rented the private room for a wedding welcome party in August and had a fabulous experience with velvet tango room! They were incredibly accommodating for our group. They helped me calculate how much food I would need to order and had plenty of staff so no one had to wait for drinks. The night we booked also had a piano player already scheduled which was an amazing addition. I highly recommend you book your next event here!

Incredible atmosphere - from an unassuming outside, walk into a speakeasy style bar with dim lights and live music. Bartenders and servers highly knowledgeable and can make recommendations - the menu is very long! Delicious drinks but pricey!

Where do I even begin. My husband and I were looking for something to do on our weekend getaway Thursday night. After searching up a few places we decided to try a new place. So it being our first time there we really didnt know what to expect. When we got there we walked in, rather than being greeted and seated like most places would the hostess ( Michelle) just stared at us like we were bothering her. After an extremely awkward minute we just went and sat at the bar. Mind you she wasn’t doing anything other than just standing there. After we had sat down we waited, after maybe 5-7 minutes Michelle half handed half shoved a menu in my direction. As we were looking over what we wanted she was also getting us water, which she put in front of us. I smiled and said thank you, now at this point i really am not expecting any type of good service due to how she was acting but i wasnt expecting a complete eye roll and sigh, im sorry but common manners??? At that point we really should have just left, we debated it, not a single hello or acknowledgment from anyone other than the hostess who CLEARLY had better things to do than to be bothered with us. We finally got our drinks, which I have really nothing bad to say about other than I can make better cocktails at home. As we were drinking them Michelle kept staring at us, whispering to the barback and pointing at us. I tried to brush it off but the level of disrespect was unreal. To top it off a group of men came in, 3 of them and got greeted with a very friendly Hello and they sat down at the bar next to us, they got immediate service, everyone was talking and friendly to them, the kind of service that should be given equally to anyone who comes in. We very quickly left after that. I absolutely will not be returning to this place and quite frankly if you want a place that is friendly and welcoming dont go here. I will always recommend someone to go to Cloak and Dagger which is only about 5 minutes away. That place has more charm then this place ever will, along with free shots as a welcome

I rarely ever write reviews, but this place is truly a hidden treasure. Shout out to our bartender Jordan! I’ve been to countless bars and met more than my fair share of bartenders, but Jordan is in a class of his own. Protect this man at all costs! His artistry with cocktails is nothing short of remarkable. His conversations were tantalizing and his knowledge base was beyond norms. Very smart man. The menu itself is inventive, beautifully designed and fun, but what really impressed me was trusting Jordan’s craft beyond the pages. After a few pleasantries and questions, I gave Jordan, “Dealers choice” and every drink he served there after was balanced, imaginative, and executed with precision. When my SO didn’t know what she wanted to order, Jordan asked her to close her eyes, imagine a place she wanted to be transported to, anywhere on the planet. She said the mountains! and holy smokes! This drink did not disappoint. The presentation, The aromatics, The flower Garnish, The flavors… The only word to describe the drinks and Jordan’s excellence is: Ethereal. Finding it: We stumbled upon this speakeasy completely by accident, raincoats on, dripping wet after a concert, wandering down the street looking for some food, drinks or shenanigans. From the outside, the entrance looked more like an antique shop or maybe even a quirky little museum dedicated to mid-century modern furniture. Only when we stepped inside, and down the steps, did we realize we’d discovered something far more magical. A Broom Closet. The atmosphere is intimate and warm, tucked away like a secret meant only for those curious enough to seek it out. Between the cozy basement setting, the subtle vintage charm, and Jordan’s unmatched hospitality, the entire experience felt like being let in on a little secret that you almost don’t want to share, because it’s just. that. good. If you’re lucky enough to find it, don’t just stop in -settle in. Ask questions, try something new, allow yourself to vibe. This place isn’t a bar, it’s an experience. PS: this is not a sports bar, so don’t be rude and ask for the Lions game or any sports to be put on the TV’s. It’s not the vibe or the crowd. Cheers! We will be back! next time with more friends!

I have been in the past and before, they had imaginative cocktails that were different. Now there was nothing on the menu that I felt I couldn't make at home. If I'm going to a cocktail bar, I don't want an espresso martini with store bought Ketle One(tm) pre-made mixer. We also waited 15-20 minutes and were not acknowledged and had to go up to the bar to order. At 18$ a cocktail, I would expect something beyond mediocrity and factory made espresso martinis. The ambiance is impeccable to be fair.

What a great spot. I always love a tucked away speak easy. Service is great and drinks really hot the spot Austin really took care of us on a random Sunday night Great job!!

Stopped for a drink. Wow. Loved the atmosphere. Austin was a great bartender, personable and knowledgeable. There was a nice selection of alcohol, great specialty drinks, and the charm of an authentic hidden Speakeasy. Don't miss this hidden gem.

The atmosphere was cool and the cocktails were tasty. There were some really creative touches to the decor that my group all enjoyed. The one drawback was the service from our waitress. She was cagey about having added a service charge to our bill after we questioned why it was so much higher than expected. She eventually conceded that she added a tip. That left a really bad taste in our mouth that she was trying to scam us into giving her a double-tip. She also wore a Metallica t-shirt to the job. It definitely took you out of the 20's vibe of the place. She was the most underdressed individual in the entire bar.

Bartender Jess was so much fun to chat with and I absolutely loved the range of cocktails you guys had to offer. She made our drinks so well!!! Very excited for the Christmas bar to open, we will be back!

It’s an interesting setup, but the service was terrible and the drinks are way overpriced for what you get. My wife and I ordered a martini and glass of wine at the bar and then moved to a table. No one ever came over and asked us if we wanted another drink or to give us the bill. One employee was on her phone the whole time and another was taking to a friend. I went back to the bar to get the bill and had to get the servers attention from her phone. The total for the two drinks came to $36. Way too much. I don’t recommend this place.

Prosperity Social Club in the Tremont area. I really like the display, which gives a very dive bar yet cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. Their menu is mostly American food with some ethnic fusion dishes. Their beer selection is good, with Guinness available, and their cocktails are pretty good too. The bartender was very welcoming and friendly.

Classic, tavern style vibes with a great drink list and awesome food. Service was excellent. Really enjoyed the varied menu offerings. Fried pepper jack cheese, Polish platter, & smoked pulled chicken were favorites. Cocktails were well made & strong.

What are unique experience. This place has karaoke some Monday nights and some absolutely excellent food to go with it. The cocktail list includes some choices that are unique and fun, just like the crowd that attends prosperity social club. I think that the chicken sandwiches maybe one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in my life. The crunchiness, juiciness, cheesiness works so well together that it creates a sandwich that you cannot stop thinking about. I will definitely be coming back to Prosperity Social Club and I hope that others do too, because this is certainly a place that keeps the late night scene alive, especially if you’re trying to avoid Townhall.

I loved the place! Such an amazing vibe and delicious food. Our server was so lovely although she had so much to do at once. Always smiling and had time to stop by and ask if everything’s fine. Bare minimum lots of places don’t have.

We were visiting and this spot was perfect. The ethnic platter was delicious. I wish we had a place like this in Seattle.

I can't say enough good things about Prosperity Social Club. First - the bartenders/ servers are hands down just the best. For the past year, this is our favorite spot. We are here probably 1-2 times a week and have never had a bad experience with the staff. Everyone is so friendly. The food is great! Their cheese triangles with raspberry aioli is a must try. I LOVE their cocktail menu. The atmosphere is so comforting. It really takes you back.

Our first time at Prosperity and we will definitely be back! When we first walked in, it was warm and cozy with the wood burning fireplace. The employees were also welcoming and very nice. We had the sausage nachos which were so delicious! Perfect balance of sweet and heat. We also had the cabbage rolls with the Hungarian sauce. So good! I mean, we wanted to lick the plate good! Can’t wait to go back! Already talking about what to get next time !

I visited this restaurant to try their vegan nachos and cheese, but I was thoroughly disappointed. The nachos were cold, and the cheese wasn’t even melted. To make matters worse, the cheese was cold as well. Despite the pleasant ambiance and the fact that it made a great hangout spot for after work, I wouldn’t recommend the vegan nachos to anyone, especially friends and family.

The entire team was amazing! Attentive, super friendly, made everyone feel welcomed. I love that the bar is non- smoking and dog friendly! The potato and cheese perogies were also delicious, the apple sauce as the dipping sauce was so much better than I anticipated.

Great place to grab a cocktail and pierogis! They have a good amount of vegan options. The pierogis were so delicious! The service is great we had our waiter check in with us periodically to make sure we were doing okay! I will definitely be going back!!!

It’s a spacious spot with a patio, offering both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Unfortunately, we arrived after the kitchen had closed for the night, so we just ordered a couple of drinks. Overall, not bad at all.

This is a fun place with excellent service and a friendly, welcoming vibe. I stopped in for dinner and had the citrus salad with chicken, which was overall quite disappointing. But they have excellent Humphrey’s popcorn. I might go back if I am with others who want to enjoy a fun and enjoyable space, but not for the food especially when there are so many other excellent options around the Ohio City area.

I would recommend this place for lunch, dinner, or even just drinks - especially if the back patio is open. I’ve been to Jukebox several times now, and I’ve enjoyed every experience. The food is good and the service has always been friendly and helpful. They also have a large drink selection. The best part for me is sitting out on the back patio - it’s a really nice space! I’ll definitely be back soon!

Jukebox is always one of my favorite places to go!!! Everything about it is awesome - great food (lots of vegan options), drinks, people, space, vibes. Truly an incredible spot!

Went there after a 5K race. Haven't been on here in some 40 years. Still a great place. Friendly staff. Dog friendly.

It is a nice little downtown dive tavern. It has anything you could possibly want to drink. And if you want to have a hard seltzer they have plenty to pick from. Bartender was nice and they have a pinball machine, a little bowling game and dart boards as well with a juke box on the wall. Great place to stop in and have a drink

Great for divey bars. Bit dirty but may be in purpose. Unsure in all honesty. Looks like 10 years of dust on the bottles.

This is a great place for just hanging out having drinks, maybe throwing some darts and if the music, which was excellent BTW, just hopping of the bar stool and dancing. If they had some bar food I would give them 4 star. This is definitely a corner bar but good for a visit with your closest friends and all expectations put aside. I came back to do an edit, because I forgot to mention this is the oldest bar in Cleveland, Ohio opened in 1895, giving it a 126 year history. I know I went here in my 20's so over three decades ago! If you are a Clevelander you have probably been here and if you are a Clevelander and have not been here...Whatcha waiting for?

Always a great place to go to! Very reasonable pricing and friendly servt.

3 dollar beers one of the best deals in town. Really cool to visit such an old establishment

One grabbed drinks before a concert but it was the perfect spot. An awesome dive bar vibe in all the best ways. Fun crowd, great service and prices. Darts and jukebox. All that I need in life.

Came a few weeks ago and loved it. Food was delish, oysters were so good!! Drinks were very well crafted. Service was nice .. prompt and not overbearing. Also loved the music. If I lived in Lakewood I'd definitely frequent often. Just an overall cool little vibe.

I'm not sure why it took us this long to go here but we will definitely be back Some of the best cocktails around. My old fashioned was probably the best one I've ever had. Food was top notch, service was also super great. Do go. Really really.

All of their cocktails are phenomenal - you cannot go wrong. The non-alcoholic cocktails are so vibrant and refreshing as well. The bartenders are fantastic and very friendly. Food was exceptional as well, particularly the croquettes!

The geeks and goths grew up and became cool. They realized they had good taste. And then they opened up a bar with some of the best bar bites around. I should note first that if you're not partial to loud metal music, then a viking bar like LBM is not the right place for you. Otherwise, highly recommend coming to check out the macabre and tongue-in-cheek decor, cocktails, and food. All seating is first come first serve, and your best bet is to come with one other person and sit at the bar, where you can still enjoy their food menu. And watch whatever cult classic movie they're playing on the TV behind the bar. Employees were all friendly and quirky (in the best way) and happy to answer any questions. Menu changes seasonally, but I have to say my favorite dish I've had there is the bone marrow which came with frightfully good jam and bread. Don't sleep on this.

Awesome cocktail menu if you're willing to be a little adventurous! Make a reservation on the weekend - it will get busy.

Excellent drinks, friendly staff, sat at the bar. Good pork belly

One of the best Happy Hours in Lakewood. Friendly staff with excellent food and drinks.

Great Lakes Brewery is a must-see when coming to Cleveland and July 4th weekend was the perfect time to visit. There was plenty of seating outside in the sun or shade and indoors at the bar or downstairs. We chose to sit downstairs to keep cool and loved all the "Shark Week" decorations. There was plenty of seating with high top tables or the bar area and there were table games available for everyone. One person was working the downstairs bar and she was very busy since it was extremely crowded on July 4th Weekend. The bartender was not friendly and was impatient but Great Lakes is to blame for being short staffed on a holiday weekend. Upstairs there were only two people working the bar and it was also very crowded. There was nobody waiting or busing tables in the basement, which was fine for us. Overall, Beers are always great and there's a souvenir shop on the main floor where you can buy beer and other items. Definitely recommend visiting Great Lakes Brewery.

Excellect experience. Would rate higher if possible. Took a VIP tour. Tour guides Victor and Josh were excellent. They were friendly, and patiently answered many questions. Enjoyed the history and of course the beer. Also had dinner in the restaurant. Chicken sandwich had crispy chicken on a fresh bun served with fresh cut fries. If I lived in the area, I would patronize this establishment at least once a week.

This place has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. It’s in a really cool area of town and there was a festival going on just outside the brewery when we arrived. They had an Oktoberfest themed specials menu so we tried the schnitzel and Polish fries both of which were delicious. All of the beers were solid as well and the bar was warm and cozy.

I did enjoy their DORTMUNDER a lager, also asked for the classic burger and fries,but a bit disappointing fries tasted like McDonald's and burger was over cooked. Service was good. Good atmosphere. Fast service. 2 classic burgers and 2 beers about $50 with tips. Visited the store to buy some beers and bought a pack of Dortmunder to enjoy at home.

What's so great about Great Lakes Brewing Company? We'll give you three darn good reasons! 😉 1. Juicy Vibacious® Double IPA 2. Vibacious® Double IPA 3. Midwest IPA And here's a bonus. If you get the chance to visit the tap room in Cleveland, Ohio, you'll enjoy a groovy experience paired with exceptional food. Maybe the Browns suck, but this place doesn't. 😜 🍺

Good food and drinks. We got brussels sprouts and crispy pierogis which were both amazing and came out fairly quickly. Also a cute place/atmosphere! Unfortunately the host had an attitude about our party size of 8 even though the place was pretty empty and they were able to seat us immediately. I wouldn’t recommend for groups.

The carrot appetizer is amazing. Sounds strange but the sauce is the star. Hummas was good but a bit ordinary. Service was excellent.

It's nice!! But to me it's a place to have fun, relieve some stress. Have a cocktail. I've been trying to go for months so I went alone. 2 is better than 1. Nice place to take a date to get to know each other. I had the $5 mimosas for the Saturday brunch deal, which were excellent. The avocado toast was very good! I'm definitely going back!

This place is huge! Came here for an Alt95 concert. I was a little let down by the service when I got here. I came around 8 pm, and the bartender was very nice and a little busy, but I was left sitting at the bar for a hot minute before I even received a salutation. But that was quickly turned into more waiting to just receive a menu. I wish the bartender had greeted me with a menu shortly after I sat down. That would have given her time to do the other things she was working on. As the night continued, the bartenders were pretty spot on refilling my drink, so they made up for it. The food I ordered came pretty fast, but was just a little greasy 😅. *note: do not eat the fries at the bottom of your skillet 😂 a little too greasy for me, but the alcohol made me not care hahaha it started to get pretty packed around 1030/11 pm as everyone else was filing in for Punch Bowl and the surrounding venues. All in all, I definitely plan on coming back, especially to check out their patio dining and bowling 😁

We were looking for a place to eat downtown on a Monday afternoon for a little Birthday dinner and stumbled upon Punch Bowl Social. The open doors looked so inviting, so we decided to give it a try—and we're so glad we did! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in. The place is absolutely huge, with so many fun games and unique decor. Our 10-year-old was in heaven exploring everything. Even though it was a Monday and the rooftop wasn't open, we appreciated that they let us walk around and take a look. Our server was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and so kind to our son. I also really enjoyed my **Espresso Martini**, and accommodated my request to be in a rocks glass so I could easily walk around with it—a perfect touch! The prices are what you'd expect for a downtown spot, but you're definitely paying for the incredible atmosphere, aura of the place and attentive service, and it's totally worth it. We had such a great experience and will absolutely be back to check it out on a busier night or weekend!

Super fun atmosphere. Amazing, craft drink list. Great list of beers, but the ones I requested were out of stock. Forced me to try other beers. The food was VERY good. And the service was quick and efficient. We will return! Just a fun place to get together!

Huge places with several bars, 5 lane bowling, and several other games, roof top area, and also small patio area that is dog friendly. Menu is a typical fun and eat fare. Service was good, but food is so so. Had Carnitas nachos, Carnitas was bone dry, then Queso? it got hard like a wax and we had to chip it off the plate with a knife. Carnitas taco was good. Then had a wedge salad, which came out after we finished the main. Iceburg was hot, the dressing was soupy and warm, it was a swamp salad. I guess people go there for drinks and games, but DNB food not great but eatable, here not so great. Out of 100 places I visited last year, I will rank 98.

The restaurant and food are amazing and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Thank you

I've been to this location a few times over the years - it has become a staple stop for a drink following the CRC Alliance Awareness walk at the East Bank. This year the kitchen was closed, so we didn't eat, but drinks were tasty. The food is usually really good; no complaints! The service is great and atmosphere is fun. Will definitely be back!

We go to most of the area breweries and tap houses. This one is ouf favorite. Beer selection is awesome, burgers are great, and service is incredible. We like the outdoor bar option. Murph is the best!

Came to Nano Brew with similarly high expectations since every other resturant in Ohio City has been 5 stars so far. Sadly this one missed the mark. The food was good, but the service was horrendous. It took 15 minutes for a server to visit our table and the next time we saw her it was to pay the bill. Recommend they do some server training as many tables seemed to have similar issues this evening. Would not recommend.

The outdoor patio had awesome ambiance. Good craft beer selection. The chicken sandwich with the oil was awesome. The burger was good but not as amazing. Caden the bartender was super friendly and chill. He was knowledgeable about beer options and the menu. Unfortunately he got pulled away a few times and we were left for awhile waiting to put in our order or to ask for napkins etc. but I’m sure not his fault. He was solo at the back bar. Great vibe. Glad it was dog friendly. Hope to be back.

We absolutely loved this place! They played fantastic music and the staff were friendly and fast. The food was also amazing. We will definitely be coming back!

The outdoor ambiance was fantastic. It's very well put together and gives an exclusive feeling when you come off the street. The bartenders were really awesome too! Megan and the guy who looked like Matt Toast were such a great vibe! Would go again 100%

My friend and I went here this past weekend. Although the service and atmosphere were fine, the food was underwhelming. I ordered the jerk chicken dip for an appetizer and the Gaucho burger for my entree. The burger gave was a bit sad and dry; I had to ask for “extra” sauce. The burger included sundried tomatoes which were decent but it wasn’t cut up so it was hard to eat in bites. The only redeeming thing was the french fries that I had on the side. I think it’s a great place for drinks though but I wouldn’t come back for the food.

We love nano brew!! I have been coming here since I was 21. Used to hit up the bar scene in my young 20’s and this was one of the “spots”. Now, I just turned 30, and this is still one of the “spots” lol. I really love the atmosphere, the outdoor patio and bar section, the food & drinks and the fact they are dog friendly inside and out! We started bringing our puppy when she was 3.5 months old and now she’s 6 months. She loves it and loves the attention she gets from all the other customers and workers. We will be coming here for as long as they are open! Give it a shot if you haven’t already! 🍻

Good vibes, I think it would be really lovely to sit on the patio! The service was great however a bit confusing that we had to seat ourselves. The drinks were just alright in my opinion, did not hate it but did not love it. I also wish they had more mocktail options as well.

Very beautiful view and clean. Servers kept very busy all night long. Kind of pricey for their menu and drinks. Sometimes the drinks weren't made correctly either. Live music sometimes too but extremely loud. Got loud the busier it got and really difficult to hear our party talking. One of a kind place, recommend trying at least once.

An upscale bar with good finger food and diligent servers. It has the most awesome views of downtown Cleveland and the surrounding areas. Definitely a must see when you come to downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

Really great experience with a view to match. We arrived during the happy hour time frame and were able to get a table for four right at the window with the great views overlooking the water and downtown. Service was super helpful and attentive, whatever question you had they helped. They also had suggestions on what to try and what paired well together. The food was amazing, we ordered several small plates and shared among the table. It was exactly what we were looking for, plenty of dishes to try and all with unique twists on delicious tastes. The pairing of the warm olives was a recommendation that was spot on and complimented the rest of the selections. If you make it to downtown Cleveland make sure you plan a visit here and enjoy the time. Very worth it.

Very nice views, cute cocktails, live music, great atmosphere

Great views, good drinks, and friendly attentive staff. What more can you ask for!?

Absolutely top notch service. The bartenders are incredibly friendly and are willing to customize drinks to match your tastes. The atmosphere is lovely. The music was a touch loud but everything else was perfect. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. The charcuterie is amazing!

This is one of my favorite bars. We drive approximately an hour to Tremont every time they introduce a menu. We came for an anniversary last night, and they didn't disappoint. The cocktails were very well crafted and delicious. The Festival of the Sun menu has something for every pallet. Always recommend this place. Make reservations.

Had my anniversary dinner at cloak and dagger last month and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was attentive, the atmosphere was very intimate, and the food was incredible, as were the drinks.

The Tarot menu is wonderful. We had The Hanging Man, The Tower, and the The Hierophant! All are recommended. The perogies dish was outstanding. The gnocchi was firm and pillowy at the same time. Excellent night out. We have reservations to go two more times during the Tarot book. Super excited to try more from this menu.

Wow wow wow. When you walk in the door be prepared for the immediate, strong smell of incense to hit you. I mean that in the best way. Really cozy, well lit and well adorned spot with really complex and unique drinks. Even if vegan food may not sound like your preference, their vegan burger is so good it won’t even matter. We smelled (smelt?) the mushroom and herbs from the next table over and knew we had to have it. One thing of note that we must’ve missed is the reservations are capped at an hour and a half stay, so pace accordingly. In our case they very politely ushered us to the outside seating area after our time was up. Unsure if we would be able to stay longer if there were *not* spaces outside. It’s a busy, yet almost quiet, cool place and all worth it.

Ethan is an absolute master behind the bar. At Cloak & Dagger, he created not one, but two perfect menu drinks for us—balanced, creative, and full of character. But what really blew me away was what happened when things slowed down. Ethan didn’t just clock out mentally—he leaned in. He crafted an off-menu drink with genuine care and precision, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. His attention to detail is next-level, and you can tell he truly loves what he does. Every ingredient, every pour, every garnish—thoughtful and intentional. This wasn’t just bartending; it was artistry. If you're lucky enough to sit at the bar when Ethan's working, ask questions, be curious—he’ll take you on a journey. 10/10. He makes Cloak & Dagger feel like a hidden gem, even if you've been there before.

All vegan and all great. Food ,drinks, atmosphere and staff were all top notch. Bring your non vegan friends, everyone will enjoy it. Bit of an update, was there again and it was as good as ever. The bar staff of great. I let them create some off menu drinks for me and they did not disappoint.

I wish I could leave a full review of our anniversary dinner but we didn't actually get to have it. By the time we enjoyed our complimentary small drink (yum!) and figured out what cocktails we wanted to order it was more than a half hour into our reservation before we had our first drinks. It took a while, which is fine. This is such a cool place and one I'd love to spend the whole evening in. We ordered the olives to share as a starter and we just decided what we were going to order for our dinner when the hostess told us our table would be turned over in 30 minutes. Okay. 90 minute reservations. I get it and knew it going in. I've been other places with the same policy. I've never been anywhere that actually told me to leave, so that is a first, but it's totally their right to do that and I don't fault them for that. If you're going to do that then it seems to me your service should be quick enough that people could make it through drinks, dinner and dessert in that time (maybe even an appetizer, if that isn't too much to ask on our anniversary?). There is NO way that was a possibility. We couldn't even have two drinks in that time. It seems to me like there is a serious mismatch between the marketing approach (come hang out and enjoy our "focus on hospitality") and business approach (but don't stay very long) here. I'm so sorry I can only share about the cocktails we had: the Dagger Dragger and King of the Dead were both very good drinks and the warm olives were so good, though not quite enough to be a dinner for two. I only gave the food 3 stars because we didn't get to eat anything other than olives. Thanks for the nice service and drinks.

The restaurant is in an area that’s being revitalized, so getting here under the overpass was interesting. I sat at the bar, and greeted pretty quickly and offered a drink. I placed an order for the chicken sandwich and was given my check to pay, before I even got the food. So I didn’t put a credit card down, thinking it would be normal to wait to see what the food and service was like before tipping. The bartender thought otherwise and asked if I was paying with a card. I obliged, but left the tip part blank for now. The food was taking longer, no big deal, but with I knew there was only one cook because so many people called out. Took about 40 minutes for my sandwich to come out. The whole time, the bartender apologized, but always said it should come out soon, knowing it probably wasn’t. When it did come out, it took a bit to get my honey mustard and then more time to get utensils and napkins, something that should’ve been there already. The vibe of the place was off because it was pretty empty and quiet, not the festive atmosphere you’d expect. It’s a newer restaurant, but two of the sinks in the bathroom were already missing faucets and soap dispensers. I might’ve given another star or been more understanding if my Diet Coke was taken off the bill. But alas, I was forced to pay before any food came out… The good news is the chicken sandwich was really good, and a big portion.

Shawn was an amazing waiter. Very friendly, took the time to know our names and remembered them. Lol. The atmosphere was awesome. There was definitely a happy vibe there. The drinks were great, the food was good, the prices were decent. We will definitely go back the next time we are in town.

The restaurant itself was very cool by itself. The service was excellent. Fast and friendly. The food was good. I ordered the jambalaya and it was good. I normally like it with a little for spice. The slushie machine was broke. Still recommend 💚💯💯

I’m extremely disappointed with our visit. While our waiter was polite, he seemed completely lost and unprepared. It took nearly 10 minutes just to get seated — and the restaurant wasn’t even busy. After sitting down, we waited another 5 minutes before our server finally showed up. We ordered drinks and an appetizer right away, might I add that they were out of multiple menu items. it took 20 minutes to get our drinks and another 10 for the appetizer to arrive. Despite specifically asking for light liquor, the cocktails were overwhelmingly strong and poorly balanced. We asked for silverware and napkins — we never received either. All the staff looked like they were in a rush, speed-walking around the restaurant, but for what? The place was half empty. After 40 minutes, we still hadn’t received our entrees. At that point, I asked to cancel our order. The waiter didn’t ask why or even seem surprised — like this was totally normal for them. To make things worse, the appetizer — chicken eggrolls — tasted like fish. Just gross. On top of the awful service and long wait, the bathrooms were disgusting. Only one toilet worked, and there was no soap available to wash my hands. Completely unacceptable This was a truly terrible experience from start to finish. I had high hopes for this place, but I left angry, hungry, and thoroughly unimpressed. We won’t be coming back.

Stopped to see what it was like finally. I thought they were supposed to have the best margaritas! A Little over rated if you ask me. Wasn't nothing special about there margarita to me for $13. Glass full of ice. Its not even a jumbo either. 👎🏾I did like they had a roof top bar but it was closed the Friday I went. It was just okay for me.

This place never fails. Delicious food, great decor. The only reason I couldn't rate 5 stars, is because while we there, we witnessed multiple party's have some confusion about seating & who their servers were. The staff quickly figured it out & each got helped so not sure if they were doing training or in between shifts.

Food was good. Pretty pricey for what it is. Two dinners- pasta and a chicken qtr and One drink $85 Server was very nice. Had to wait five mins to get seated because they were helping a person check out in gift shop

This place was so cool! The drinks were so well crafted and the vibe in the unique setting was definitely memorable. Might be back when in Cleveland in the future.

Checked into the hotel across the street pretty late on a Friday and googled nearby bars and this place popped up. The vault is even cooler in person, walking downstairs to get to it you see all the other vault rooms as well. Plenty of areas to lounge around with friends after grabbing a drink from the bar. The staff were super friendly and seemed to know a lot of people coming in which shows people like to come back! The drinks were all incredible.

We’ve been to the vault a handful of times and it’s been fine. I would not recommend going between Christmas and new years. The bartenders were edgy, slower due to new people and not enough help. The different rooms are always nice and the Christmas decorations were very nice!

Very cool spot for a cocktail. The drink menu has some creative options and classic cocktails. They make the best espresso martini. Each room located around the bar has its own private ambiance. There is plenty of space to find your own little nook or share some of the larger seating areas.

Been here a couple times and it’s a blonde female that usually works late night on weekend that is absolutely terrible. Every single time she was there I have to contemplate getting a drink which she ended just going somewhere else or back to my room for drinks. The vault has been great with anyone else good vibes. Just not with the girl working Saturday nights. Didn’t get her name. She makes it zero stars!!!

We stopped here as a start to my friends birthday night on the town and it turned into our favorite part of the night. Beautiful atmosphere, tasty drinks, and Gerard was amazing for giving us a tour and teaching us about all the history!

Was super crowded when we went, but service was still good. Drinks were expensive but high quality.

I went back in September (I know! I'm late making the review) && I feel as if, maybe, I went there too early in the day. The vibes were totally off! There was no music playing, not enough TVs near by, nothing that made me want to come back again. Actually, I wasn't there very long. We ordered a drink & our food & both were ok! Yes, just ok! The Margaritas were flat! Tasted very skinny! The food wasn't too bad. It was ok, lol! The service was ok! You can tell they never ever cover their seats, like when it rains & stuff, because the cushions were not only wet (ruined my skirt) 🙄, They were also filthy dirty smh. I was upset about that‼️ The place is too nice & pricey to allow that. Please replace those cushions💯 SN: The bathroom was very very nice Now, if they were to have clean seating & music playing as soon as you walk in, then the place is a Gem!!! I hate to be in a place & I can hear the people at the bars conversation at my seat (& I wasn't sitting close to the bar). One thing I can say is... The view up there is beautiful but everything else was basic

The food isn't the best. You order your food and drinks at the counter, there's no table service. But the atmosphere and the views are great!

Stopped in Saturday first impression not clean. While waiting for drinks, noticed trash accumulated under the back cabinet in the drain, thought this isn’t good. Drinks took a long time, bartenders were nice, very slow. Tables were dirty. The gutter along the edge of the patio was full of old trash. Napkins, food and debris on the floors. There were a few yellow jackets flying around, which is to expected. They had the north end shut down for an event. Workers were spraying a section with hornet spray up into a structure. Probably should thought about the wind direction blowing the spray towards the other end of the patio. Nachos were good, without the spray, but you cannot get utensil apparently. Drinks were good. If you’re going to charge high end prices, delivery a high end product. Keeping the tables clean and someone cleaning up all the trash would have made a huge difference.

Here’s a polished 5-star review you could use for your choice, of places to stay. --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Garden of Eden Experience! From the moment I stepped inside The Garden of Eden, I felt like I had been transported into a paradise. The entire interior truly lives up to its name—it’s lush, vibrant, and breathtaking, with greenery and floral touches that make you feel like you’re walking through a living garden. Every corner has been thoughtfully designed, blending luxury with nature in the most magical way. The atmosphere is serene and refreshing, almost like an escape from the outside world. My room was spotless, spacious, and filled with natural beauty, with details that made it feel both elegant and cozy. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay perfect—they were warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about my comfort. The food was equally impressive, fresh and flavorful, with dishes that matched the garden theme beautifully. Whether I was relaxing in my room, enjoying the common spaces, or dining, I felt completely immersed in a peaceful oasis. If you’re looking for a hotel that’s more than just a stay—but an unforgettable experience—The Garden of Eden is the place. I can’t wait to return!

Very nice space on a beautiful evening!! The food makes it a perfect spot for dinner/snacks before going out or for drinks elsewhere. Their drink menu is not the most unique, but we had a margarita tree and they were delicious! Very sweet. We also ordered the nachos, without chicken, and I appreciate the servers being accommodating with our request!! The server we ordered from even asked to make sure they didn’t serve it with chicken. The nachos were super yummy, although soggy. I will definitely be going back.

We planned a Welcome Party for the night prior to our wedding at Garden of Eden rooftop. Let me first say that our contact, Kennedy was great to work with and very communicative about planning, however she was off the day of our party—understandable given it was on a Friday evening. We planned the party to order food but do a cash bar for guests to meet the minimum total. This was our decision to help cut wedding costs, but also to make sure our guests weren’t too spent on the wedding the following day. Unfortunately, we had a few missteps in the evening. We were short a bartender (which prompted guests to order from the inside bar where drinks weren’t added to our total), the reserved space was smaller than originally agreed (limiting seating and space for our 100-120 guests) and the valet started turning away our guests stating they were only taking overnight cars which made parking difficult on a busy downtown weekend. The most frustrating moment was about two and a half hours into the event when the assistant manager notified us that our bar tab was only about $900 (so we were expected to pay the remaining balance to meet the minimum requirement). This didn’t seem correct. We had over 100 people at our event for over two and a half hours with cocktails at about $12/each; the math didn’t add up. The manager had left already but I was able to speak with him, and he agreed to review everything and follow up with us after the weekend. Shortly after this, the assistant manager came back again and said the total was closer to $2100 and we still owed a few hundred more. This still didn’t seem correct but given the circumstances of our wedding the following day, we just paid for the remaining amount. Come to find out later, the designated bartender was not charging our guests for the first half of the evening. Overall, our guests greatly enjoyed our event, but the logistical issues were questionable, and several things seemed to go awry. Proceed with caution when planning an event here—beautiful venue, but concerning management issues. We did appreciate Kennedy following up and reimbursing us for the cost of the second bartender that was not provided.

Roof top Garden style club venue. Very nice view. Great decor and theme.

Great oysters and great location by the water. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us great recommendations from the menu. Appetizers were generous in portion, with the highlight being the mussels. The crabcake (looks more like a crab patty?) and calamari were average. I like that they have a happy hour for oysters, overall would recommend. Parking was a bit inconvenient but that’s just typical Flats. Overall would recommend!

Amazing service! Our server went above and beyond with his attentiveness and the manager even stopped by during to make sure we were enjoying our meal and wine. It’s hard to find a restaurant these days that emulates a higher class of customer service and Alley Cat definitely does that. Great service + great food = a perfect evening.

Delicious food, drinks, and great service! Oysters were amazing and we had to order more! The Nova Scotia ones were very good. We both got the winter seafood dinner which was a whole lot of food with great options!! I have celiac disease and they were knowledgeable about that which I really appreciated. We will be back for sure

Catchy name, great location - on the water. The atmosphere was not as classy as I hoped. Appeared to be a before club hang out. Waitress, Angel was horrible. After we placed our order she didn't come back to check in our table - in fact, the shrimp we ordered never came and she wasn't even aware of it. Time for the check and she was out right rude! And far as the food - cheese bread (cold, flavorless); oysters (best were the Blue Point, the others were small and lacked flavor); fish (grouper) tacos - best thing we ordered. Would not be a repeat customer.

It was worth the walk down from the public square to the Alley Cat Oyster Bar. We had the Swordfish served on a bed of lobster mashed potatoes which was excellent, moist yet flaky. Really delicious. Also enjoyed the calamari along with a side of crispy pork belly, both were tasty and not over cooked. Finished it off with their take of Key Lime Pie. Kudos to our server Marcus and the bartender for a great Old Fashion. Definitely recommend.

We were in the flats for an event and swung into Alley Cat on a whim. What an amazing brunch we had. All of the seafood was so fresh, I had the crispiest potatoes of my life, and my girlfriend’s salmon salad was one of the best crafted salads we’ve ever had. This place was not on my radar but we will definitely be back.

Recently went for brunch and the food was so good! It was also very nice because it was a hot day but we still had a beautiful view of the river from inside.

The service and the food were tied for the best I've had in Cleveland yet. Our server, Kim, comfortably guided us through all of the sauce and topping options like a professor. The dogs were top tier, both the vegan and beef, and the kielbasa, too, were cooked to perfection, as were the sweet potato fries and tots. We're from out of town and took a guess from online options and I couldn't be happier that we did.

A laid-back bar with a fun way to order hot dogs and burgers. You can pile on tons of free toppings like meats, veggies, and sauces. Overall, it's a good value.

Best Dogs in town reasonably priced with unlimited toppings and great tots too! I especially like it when Bianca works there she is the best! Make sure to tip the bartenders they are awesome. Good venue to see new musicians as well. Lots of fun Cleveland Classic.

In case you guys were wondering… you CAN get happy dog for your late night snack at your wedding and it WILL be a huge hit!! All my guests were so excited for this and they did not disappoint!! Happy dog team prepped and delivered and made everything seamless!! So happy to have them as part of our night, thanks guys:)

Happy Dogs Cleveland, your "beef burger" isn't just bad - it's an insult to both food and customers. I ordered one simple thing: a plain burger with no toppings. What I got was a culinary middle finger - a sad, soggy patty buried under a landfill of unrequested garbage that weren't even the standard burger fixings. Here's why this experience was unforgivable: False Advertising Nowhere on your menu does it warn customers about surprise toppings. If your burger comes "loaded" by default, that needs to be clearly stated. This isn't a happy surprise - it's a bait-and-switch. Willful Ignorance When a customer says "no toppings," that's not a suggestion - it's an instruction. Your kitchen either can't read or doesn't care. Either option is unacceptable. The fact that you took money for this travesty is shocking. The fact that you apparently do this regularly is downright predatory. Final Warning to Potential Customers: Unless you enjoy paying good money for bad food that doesn't match your order, steer clear. Happy Dogs Cleveland has clearly forgotten what makes customers happy - or what makes a decent burger.

Honestly, I didn't try the food...but this is a really great establishment. Hello! 3D played the night I went and it was an AMAZING show. The bar service was great, vibe was exactly where it needed to be.

Take yourself back in time in Happy Dog bar. It has a 70s look to it in a good way completely. If you like hot dogs, then this is the place for you. More options than you know what to do with. They are super big and taste amazing also.

Yummy place for pierogies and kielbasa!! Burgers are delicious as well. Small bar area with tables arranged through out. You are not on top of each other but it’s not a huge place so if you go during peak dinner hours you may have to wait for a table. Right across the street from “a Christmas story house” which makes it a nice place to stop in to eat at if going on the Christmas story tour.

Amazing little place! Ended up meeting some friends here and randomly picked this spot. Wasn't expecting much since it seemed like a standard bar and grill joint with mid food. But wow! Portions were large, prices were fair, and the food was absolutely delicious! My steak was perfectly cooked to order, and the burger was very good. Will have to come back again since they had some very creative and interesting sounding burgers.

We were in Cleveland for a work conference and wanted to take in some of the local sites. We actually came for both, the A Christmas Story house and museum, and Rowley Inn. My wife was on a tour and the guide mentioned that Rowley Inn was a great local place to eat and had been featured on Guy Fieri's Triple D. After visiting the museum, we stopped in for a late lunch. The food was Delicious and the beer selection was plentiful and great! The poutine with kielbasa was amazing with the peppered gravy! I really enjoyed the dish that Guy ate that's featured on the menu and my wife had the perogies with corned beef. The beef was made in house and was so good! We got the bread pudding for dessert and it was equally as delicious!! This is certainly a local treat to eat at and I hope I find myself in Cleveland again just to eat here!

A bit squished in there but this was one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Burgers and mac n cheese were some of the best I have had. Also, it is right across from the house from a Christmas Story, so that helped the experience even further.

Going back! EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS, AMAZING AUTHENTIC FLAVORS FROM THE AREA! And right outside of the "A Christmas Story" visitors Mecca! Can't go wrong! Drinks are perfection too! I wanted to stay & hang out with the locals & drink & eat my way through the menu while we chatted & laughed things up!

Everything was perfect! Every time my family and I come to this play, it's always a good time, from the drinks to the food and service; everything is a 100%. I will definitely keep coming back here.

First heard about Rowley Inn on an episode of Diners Drive-ins and Dives. The food looked phenomenal. It lived up to my high expectations. We had the Loco Moski, a pile of delicious pierogies with beef, onions, and gravy, and the bacon wrapped tots. Both were tremendous and the service was also spot on. Will definitely be going back to try out more dishes next time I'm in the Cleveland area.

Such a vibe! Loved the cozy ambience and the fun variety on the brewed beer menu 🍻 Food options were limited, but sooo worth it — the chicken wrap, tofu wrap, and gochujang wings? Absolute favorites! Tried the barley wine for a sweet twist and a classic brew for balance. Great spot with great service!

Food and beer were great! Never heard of it, as from out if town, stopped there and we had a great meal. Ambience was cool as well. Suggested place to visit! Pepperoni rolls were tasty!

I have visited hundreds of breweries in Ohio. This is one of my favorites. Atmosphere is so cool. You sit right in the brew section and the beers are simply amazing. I just got the dry rub Cajun wings as well. Damn one order was not enough. Victoria was awesome!

Good beer selection, sometimes hard to select a favorite. Visited from out of town. People were gearing up for the baseball game with some pre-game beverages. Bavarian pretzel was good, nice chew, and flavor. Beers - definitely worth a visit to try their selection.

Stopped in for a quick drink and snack midday. It was nice that there was a parking lot so close, and was only $3.00. We cant say much for the food since we only ordered chips and dip. We are a fan of homemade chips which these clearly arent but they did the job! Beer was good. Service was lacking a bit. The ladies were very nice but we had to keep getting their attention to order.

Enjoyed a late dinner here. We enjoyed their wings, chicken wing and a few beers. Just passing by but would definitely return here if ever in the area again.

First time visiting Cleveland, so I did a quick Google search for the best breweries in the area, and this is the one that kept popping up. Man, it did not disappoint! I had a few beers, but the standout for me was the Hefeweizen. What a delicious, fresh, clean, and true-to-style beer that was! I also ordered some chicken wings: the lemon pepper wings were really good, but the star of the show was the miso honey wings. Both orders were cooked perfectly. I honestly wish I could have tried all the flavors. I can't wait to visit again.

Drinks were great! We didn't have any food. The bartender was really nice. I enjoyed the Stoli Doli, and was even given an extra piece of vodka soaked pineapple.

They had GF options in their menu. Their GF pizza was really good! It’s a LARGE portion compared to the tiny crust you normally get when ordering a gluten free pizza. The server was knowledgeable of my dietary restrictions. I’d go again! 🤍

We stopped by because it was within walking distance of our airbnb and it looked cool... we ended up really loving this place! The decor is fun, the drinks were tasty and creative, and the mac n cheese pizza was solid! Service was spot on too! Would absolutely come back!

This was my 1st time here. I met a friend for dinner. The atmosphere was great. We ate outside because the weather was perfect. I imagine the vibe was inside was good as well because it wasn't crowded. The service was amazing. We sat there with our drinks and talked probably an hour before ordering food. The waitress repeatedly came by to check on us and see if we were ready. She was very patient. She was attentive. I have no complaints. The food was chill. Full disclosure, we only ordered appetizers, but they were solid. The appetizer sampler platter was a LOT. You definitely get your money's worth. The French fries were beyond good. I wanted another order but didn't want to be greedy. I highly suggest the pineapple martini.

Haven't had the food - yet, but Jessica saw me taking pics of the menu & asked immediately what I wanted to order! Love the karaoke - great job Scott! Went back, Scott ROCKED it again, DJ was on point, even played BIG WILLY STYLE, I got free H2O & Coke-aCol@.

I loved the atmosphere and service here! Great corner pub to hang out in, with a chill neighborhood vibe. Outside patio area for the warm weather too. Service was prompt and friendly. The pretzels were very good and the mozzarella sticks were similar to ones you find in other places. I honestly did not love the Reuben - not as flavorful. Not a bad place if you are looking for a casual place to grab a drink and some appetizers.

Not gonna lie, wasn't the best food. Service was good, seemed laid back but the food wasn't anything to write home about!

We came to this bar for my best friends bachelorette party and we had such a groovy time. We had such a fun time dancing, and playing beer pong! Jordan and Kylie were excellent, attentive bartenders who served a group of 15 happily. I highly recommend you check this place out!

I recently hosted a section at Johnny Boy and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—largely thanks to our amazing server, Brittany. From the moment we arrived, they were welcoming, attentive, and on top of every detail. Whether it was keeping drinks full, accommodating special requests, or checking in at just the right moments,Brittany made sure everyone in our group felt taken care of. Her positive attitude and professionalism really elevated the night and helped create a fun, stress-free environment. I highly recommend hosting an outing here!!

Jacob is the kind of bartender every bar dreams of having. From the moment we sat down, he greeted us with a genuine smile and an easygoing confidence that made us feel instantly at home. He’s got that perfect balance of professional and personable—attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it. What really stood out was his knowledge and passion for what he does. Whether it was recommending a craft cocktail or mixing up something custom based on our preferences, every drink he made was spot-on. You can tell he takes pride in his craft—each pour felt thoughtful, not rushed. On a busy night, Jacob kept his cool and still made time to engage with guests. That kind of grace under pressure is rare and deserves to be recognized. If you find yourself at the bar and see Jacob behind it, you’re in good hands. He’s not just serving drinks—he’s creating an experience. Highly recommend.

Anna was amazing! She made our night. My bestie who I went with that has anxiety was okay with a crowded bar because she made them feel welcome and safe. She deserves all the praise and tips/raises she gets. Such a fun night on the town! A very safe LGBTQ+ place, and the staff (bartenders especially) were amazing. 10/10 ✨

Do not go. If I could leave zero stars I would. Bouncer was extremely rude and homophobic. I then asked him kindly the question if we could go in since my friend had to use his passport instead of his ID and he mocked us by saying « I don’t know can you? »and this whole situation ruined the ambiance. They should hire better bouncers. We didn’t spend much time after, and drinks were expensive.

I was in this bar twice tonight the first time went smooth and there were no problems, the second time It went terribly. I've been to all the bars in the flats hundreds of times and have never dealt with a bouncer like the one that worked tonight. He was extremely rude and my girlfriend albeit very immature but not uncalled for flipped the bouncer off because of how he was treating ME. He grabbed her very unprofessionally and harshly. I word for word said you shouldn't be grabbing her like that and he THREW me out of the line after already saying I can go in this was extremely unprofessional and makes me not want to return to this specific location in the flats. I never leave a review and this brought me to such a temperament that I had to.

From the moment we walked in, Scarlett made the entire experience unforgettable. She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of all night. Her positive energy and warm personality lit up the room. You can tell she really cares about making everyone feel welcome and having a great time.

Never have I been impressed with the velvet dog. My friend celebrated her birthday there and it was alright, I just wish the music was better most of the time and not just sometimes.

Enough security, so I definitely felt safe. Bartenders were quick for everyone.

Had THE time of my life here last night! I really appreciated (before getting there) that I was able to call and ask questions not only that when my call wasn't awnsered I received a text to make sure my concerns were covered. I went to the event on the 2nd floor, José was kind and personable upon our entry/exit! I gave 4 stars in regards to only having 2 bartenders to look after the group but they held it down the best they could. Clean SAFE bathrooms are always a plus but even more than that is, seeing staff visible throughout the night and they were. I wouldn't hesitate to return if they had another event!

pretty good vibe! there’s lots of a room to spread out and service for drinks is quick. the rooftop bar is so nice and felt so nice on a good night. music wasn’t amazing but people were still moving and you can make the best of it. i have a feeling it changes depending on the dj so i’ll definitely have to come back another night

EPIC after party! Georgina is the best! All the bartenders were amazing and the security is top notch!

I went both nights. Ray-Ray was awesome on the inside bar on Saturday. Great person to talk to and get red bull from. She def made it an enjoyable evening. I really love this place the vibe the music, regardless of how busy it is.

My friend was dancing on the stage leaned over the side to talk to his girlfriend, who’s birthday we were all out celebrating and the bouncer just kicked him out immediately. I agree he shouldn’t have done that but he could’ve at least gave him a warning. There was a party of about 25 of us and we had to scramble to get everyone together and left to go to Barley. The bartender provided great service though. I feel for her because she lost out. Oh well.

My son loved the steak. I had some type of pasta with sausage. For the price of the pasta I would have expected more sausage in it. I was excited for all the non-steak options. Usually when we visit steak places there’s only one dish for me to choose. Donut dessert was yum! Service was excellent!

In town for a weekend away. Went to the Guardians game and then were quickly on the hunt for dinner. We perused East 4th street and were met with a lot of long wait times for a table. It was a Saturday might at 7:30 pm so this didn’t necessarily come as a surprise. What did come as a surprise was walking into Red and being seated, on the rooftop no less, right away. We were greeted by our server Cassandra who was able to provide cocktail and appetizer recommendations. These were the first of her recommendations that she did her best impersonation of Jose Ramírez and knocked them out of the park 😉 I got an old fashioned and my wife got a strawberry 75. Next came the whipped ricotta with olive oil and dill, and man was it good. Served with grilled bread for dipping, we would have ordered another round if it weren’t for our entrees that were on their way. My wife got the filet, at the recommendation of Cassandra, and loved every bite of it. I had a craving for salmon so that’s what I ordered. Before ordering, I asked Cassandra her opinion of the dish and she candidly shared it was good but not something that would blow you away. She was right, again. I enjoyed the salmon but for a future trip to Red I would consider an alternative entree. We ordered the mac and cheese as a side and were not disappointed. I’ll give you one guess if Cassandra recommended it…yeah, she did. She knows the menu inside and out. No dessert for us as we were stuffed. Can’t recommend Red, enough. Great view from the rooftop, knowledgeable server, and we weren’t rush. Truly a great meal and experience at Red to end the night.

We ordered Caesar Salad- Excellent CAB Prime Filet - Outstanding CAB Prime NY Strip - Outstanding Clams Casino - Excellent Mushrooms and Onions - Excellent Doughnut Holes - Excellent Restaurant has rooftop bar and dining in addition to main room. Happy hour specials- food and drinks. Separate Bar area. Cocktails Wine Beer. Menu has large selection of appetizers. Also salads, seafood , sides and of course steaks. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered, medium rare. Our server Ashlyn was outstanding.

Red is a spectacular restaurant, and this location in particular. The food is quite expensive, but it’s 100% worth the cost. The servers are kind, and they don’t rush you one bit. However if you’d like to get a fancy dinner but need to be in and out they can do that too. Smaller menu items rotate in and out providing for a unique experience each visit. This is a restaurant where you don’t want to skip the dessert!

First let me say, we accidentally booked a reservation at a different location. However, the hostess was polite and friendly and fit us in anyway. The server Beau was polite and friendly when explaining the specials and everything. The food was amazing the steak paired with the peppercorn demi-glaze was perfect. Beau came to our table a couple times to check in, each time with a smile. After dinner they brought my wife some Beingets with 3 dipping sauces, which totally suprised us. Highly recommend coming here at least once when in Cleveland.

Fantastic, fantastic, fantasticcc!!!! We got the ribeye and it was crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Our friend got the prime ribeye and it was soooo much more tender. Loved the food, the sides (especially truffle whipped potatoes), and the desserts. The service was fantastic & they continuously made sure we were satisfied. Must try!

This was our first time to Red in Cleveland and we loved everything about our dining experience. Service was professional and top notch. Steaks were the best we have had in a very long time, with seasoning that was exceptional. Add in the family style side dishes and donut holes and sauces for dessert, we had a perfect dining experience. We will definitely return when in downtown Cleveland! Sorry we had not tried it on previous trips but we will not make that mistake again.

Nice food and our server was exceedingly attentive. We forgot our togo boxes in the table and she caught up with us in the parking lot to ensure we got our food which was greatly appreciated. Would return!

I stumbled across this place by accident and I will be back. Their Shepard’s Pie is pretty tasty and I really like the atmosphere/motif. I’ll have to go back to try more stuff from the menu. My only complaint is that my waitress was juggling multiple tables and the bar. I’m not sure if someone called off or if that’s a normal thing, but it took a little while for her to make her rounds.

Get a Boxty! Different and fabulous. I got the salmon boxty, and my wife got the corned beef Boxty. We both loved them. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Will be back.

Honestly I’m not familiarized with the culture, I just love trying new foods. I looooved this place, the attention is super nice, the food is really really good and the atmosphere is perfect. Really close to the lake. Lots of parking and it has seats inside or outside.

Wow. A beautiful place with amazing food. If you are looking for a place for a date, this is it. First off, we arrived before opening time and people were already arriving. There is plenty of parking, but it filled up fast within a short time. Walking up the the building and in, the atmosphere and architecture is stunning and cozy. We asked about the building and the owner built it himself many years ago. The chairs are comfy, there is an outside patio with views of Lake Eerie. The food was exactly what you would hope for. From their boxty to their dessert, not a single dish was dissapointing. The corned beef rolls were crisp and delicious, and it had some of the best thousand island dressing ever. Their corned beef boxty was amazing, each bite was a cacophony of flavors. Their soup of the day was clam chowder, and it had whole clams, tasted fresh and was bursting with flavor. Paired with a turkey sandwich on rye, the bread was flavorful as well and the meat tender and juicy. Their Guinness ice cream is so delightful as well (although the brownie bites were rather plain). Overall, it was perfect comfort food that will keep you wanting to come back.

Great option for an Irish Pub in the Cleveland area. Great Irish Pub food and atmosphere. Yes, the Guinness was properly poured. Food was great. Highly recommended.

Pretty good overall. We got the corned beef rolls for appetizer, and the fish and chips and shepherd's pie for entree. Very good all around.

Great place next to the river. Sit outside if the weather is nice. Wonderful view. Service is very good. Sheet pan nachos - bring a crowd as this is huge and tastes great! Sausage appetizer board with cheese is another winner. Beer flight, full bar, lots of brews to choose from. And plenty of great food on the menu, but I was stuffed from the appetizers. Highly recommend!

First of all our server was very attentive and did a great job. The indoor patio was a little warm because the sun was setting, but there’s a great view of the river. The beer was cold and tasty our meals the hot honey chicken, BJ burger, and poke salad were all delicious. I would definitely return back when I’m in the area again.

Great food options for all dietary needs. We, as a vegan diet, we're very happy with the marked vegan options. They also mark vegetarian, ways to make things vegan/vegetarian and gluten free. The staff was awesome and timely. Great value for the price!

We had Collison Bend Lake Erie Sunset at our hotel bar. We headed down there the next day for lunch. There is no doubt, the beer is really good, and service was great. Unfortunately my partners smash burger showed up on the cool side. Even the cheese wasn't melted. They were definitely busy, so maybe the order got backed up. My food was excellent, and if I ever come back to Cleveland again I will come back.

We had a great time with friends watching the Abby Normal and Detroit Lean band play. Great beer, great food, and great venue! We were outside right on the river, watching the boats listening to the band. A fun time was had by all.🍺

Really fantastic on all fronts. I often query, when breweries are this amazing from a venue perspective, does the beer even matter? This place is off the charts and has a great HH menu to boot.

Cozy restaurant in the flats. They have a really nice patio you can eat on that faces the river (which was nasty brown). We went as a staff party. I never had walleye before so I choose that and it was okay. The piece was huge but it was fried way to much and there grease is dirty ugh! Alot of my co workers got the Quesadilla and said it was meh 🫤. The drinks are pretty like $12-14 for cocktails. I also tried the lavender lemonade, lil sweet but good. Overall okay. Would I come again, probably not.

If you're a pierogi enthusiast, you need to check out Beerhead during Pierogi Week in Cleveland! Their creative takes on a Northeast Ohio classic dish are absolutely delicious. The BBQ beef, arugula balsamic, and pierogi pizza were all mouthwatering. The BBQ beef pierogies were a smoky, savory delight, while the arugula balsamic combination offered a bright, zingy refreshing twist. They were very busy and the service was fast and efficient. With a great selection of beers on tap and a welcoming atmosphere, Beerhead is the perfect spot to enjoy good food and good company.

Extremely good service. Our waitress was very professional and business like. She was quick and we had a large party. The pizza was good, the salad with grilled chicken was very tasty. Parking was expensive, $15.00 in the lot. However it was a fun time. They have a huge beer selection.

Kelsey makes the best melon ball shots! She made our experience wonderful. Our time in Cleveland was so good we made sure to get back at the end of the week on the way home to PA to close the place down with her! Thanks for a great evening! Pizza is great also. Wonderful atmosphere. Kelsey is the best bartender in Cleveland!

Stopped here during our mini vacation from Niagara Falls, NY. The beer selection was nice weather on tap or in bottles/cans. We didnt eat here but the people who were seemed satisfied. The pretzle the guy next ro us ordered was the biggest pretzlenive ever seen at a bar. We would stop back here again when we are back in town. Very clean, newer nice atmosphere. Bartender was nice and recommneded a few other places to see.

Pub with a very good selection of beers and average-priced beers. We did not eat since the kitchen was closed when we arrived. The service was not very good and they seemed very annoyed that we were staying late.

We went here on a busy Sunday afternoon of a Browns game, but the service was still great and the food came quickly. The appetizer Mac and C was filling enough for one person to make it a meal. The was also a big hit. Great beer selections too!

Good selection of Draft Beers 🍻 Food was very Blah. Had the Popeye Pizza 🍕, no Flavor / Taste also had the Garlic Parmesian Fries, good tasting but needed to be in the frier longer were Soggy ! Parking $$$ 20.00 at no fault to the restaurants in the area.

They don't have a big food menu. But the pizza was delicious. We had a party of 8 after a baseball game. Seemed to be under staffed. The people working worked well together.. they do have over 50 beers on tap.. They only did slices. But the owner made an exception and dis a couple of whole pies.. Delicious.

We had our 52 person bus group stop here for supper one night. Food was great the bartender did good even with a hiccup on the keg not working good for them. They adjusted well and we had a blast. We got a private upstairs area were we ate and had a corn hole tournament. We will definitely be back when Packers come to town again.

We go here every time we go to an Indians game. Love, love, love the bartenders. They are so kind and personable and quick. The food is so good. Just love everything about it. Comfortable and fun.

This is a great place to come before in the event at Rocket Arena! The service is great! The food was yummy.

We visited this restaurant twice and unfortunately had disappointing experiences both times. On our first visit, I ordered the fajita wrap, the steak was burnt and tough to eat. My husband's crunchwrap arrived after I was already halfway through my meal, and it was the wrong order. He had to wait even longer for the replacement. Despite that, we decided to give it another try. The second time, it wasn’t very busy. The first waitress who greeted us was lovely, but the second one who took over treated us like we were an inconvenience. We ended up waiting even longer than our first visit and never received our food. We had hoped for a better experience, but sadly it was consistent in all the wrong ways.

It was alright, no one was friendly or smiling. Felt like we were an annoyance rather than a customer. Food was decent, but nothing special either.

Two friends and I were in town for a concert and after looking at all the food options near our hotel, we decided on The Clevelander. The sign said to seat ourselves and someone would be with us. We looked over the drink menu and decided on what we wanted. Two staff members stood at the table next to us, while one cleaned the table, and discussed whose section we were in. After waiting about 10 minutes with nobody coming to our table or addressing us at all, we ended up leaving.

Stopped in for a bite to eat once we got to town. A fun spot with t.v.s and music. The food was good and they have great service!

I'm not sure what I was expecting, which is why I'm generously giving 4 stars. I wasn't expecting this, though. I think this place is a true sports bar. I didn't know that. Someone told me they have good burgers, and they're hand pattied. My husband hears or reads about a good burger, and he has to try it. So you go in, the music is blaring. There will be no conversation. The seating is all angled and oddly placed, so you may be able to watch the game, or you may not be able to. Because of the way the seating is placed, you may get a piece of a bar to eat your food at, a full table, or wing it. We found a regular table in the back. You seat yourself, scan the QR code for the menu, and then go to the bar to order. There is no service. If you need something, you go to the bar. The only service is there or when they bring out your food. That's it! My husband ordered the Western Burger. I didn't get a great pic, but he said it was really good. It was loaded with bacon. Not like 1 piece cut in half. It had about 4 good, crispy pieces on it. He said he would absolutely buy it again. My son ordered wings. He said they were good. I ordered chicken tenders, and they sucked. The fries are the real winners, tho. They were so amazing. Some of the best fries I've ever had.

A loud, bustling sports bar right next to the fieldhouse with great burgers and extensive drink options. After running through the snowy streets of Playhouse Square searching for any place with an open kitchen, a noisy oasis opened its doors for us. Inside was a bustling crowd of post-game Cavaliers fans enjoying the holiday evening. Tables are all first come first served and you order food at the bar. We were lucky enough to snag a too large table for our group of three but happily traded it to a larger group for the smaller table they had found. For this busy night, they were running a limited menu. The bartender was patient with me as I figured out food and drink while he had plenty to take care of. As we settled into our seats with our drinks, the food was brought up to us not long after. We were hungry and had put in a lot of work to get to this moment. The burger not only hit the spot, it obliterated it. I quickly wolfed down the burger and fries. It wasn’t the easiest visit of the weekend, but it was a great way to cap it all off. Go here if you’re looking for that lively sports bar experience. The place is massive and has two floors and you’re never far from a TV.

We had dinner there before the Eric Clapton concert last night. Best burgers we’ve had in a very long time. We got there early so it wasn’t very busy but definitely hopping when we left.

Wonderful inner city craft beer bar and restaurant. At least 40 different and unique craft beers. Different styles from ales, to wheats, to IPAs to BBA stouts! Their wings were coated and actually, meat fell off of the bone! Wonderful decor or lighted liquor bottles and all sorts of Cleveland athlete bobbleheads on display

The bar has a great variety of beers, through the spectrum of styles. I took 2 milkshake smoothie beers that were amazing. The bartenders know a lot about beers, and looked very professional making cocktails.

Ok bar. They were packed after a Guardians game. Nothing special in my opinion. They have a long bar and lots of drafts. The cool thing was all the bobbleheads. The pretzel bites were pretty good.

we got the meat and cheese board, a large speck pizza, and a large sausage pizza. The meat and cheese board had a good variety and we couldn’t even finish half with 2 people. It’s good thin crust pizza- nice sauce to bread ratio and good flavors. We came on a Wednesday night and didn’t have to wait which was great.

Awesome spot for pizza and drinks! We had the Margherita and sausage pie – both were insanely good. Probably one of the best pizzas in Cleveland, if not the best. The Bees Knees cocktail was super refreshing. Chill vibe, great service, and just an all-around amazing experience. Definitely coming back and recommending to everyone!

It was our first visit and we got there right at opening time and the place filled up quickly. But service was great and one of the best pies we've had in the NE Ohio. We went with pepperoni and hot honey and it was delicious.

I was out in Cleveland performing some autism-friendly music concerts - and a buddy of mine recommended this spot. It was fantastic! Absolutely loved it. Highly recommended if you need a great pie in Cleveland.

We came with a group of 8 and arrived about 15 minutes before the doors opened—there was already a line forming, which was a good sign. We were seated in the back in a cozy area that looked like a little church—super cute and charming. The room was clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff was quick and efficient. We started with a meat and cheese tray that came with three types of meats, three types of cheeses, sliced baguette and bread drizzled with olive oil, plus a small selection of olives. It was a great appetizer to kick things off. We ordered five pizzas, and they came out surprisingly fast. Here’s a quick rundown: White Pie: If you like white sauce, garlic, and a touch of sweetness from honey, this one’s for you. Sausage and Red Pepper: This was a hit—my husband especially loved it. The red peppers were sweet and the sausage had great flavor. Margherita: Tasty but could’ve used a bit more basil. Speck: None of us had tried this before. It was okay, but didn’t stand out compared to the others. Pepperoni: Built on a margherita-style base with tons of crispy, curled pepperoni. Definitely a crowd-pleaser. Our waitress was on top of refills, and the rest of the staff quickly cleared empty plates and trays as we finished. From start to finish, we were in and out in about two hours. Overall, it was a great experience. I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Delicious. Got the Speck Pie(the white sauce)… for some reason, the honey just works. Also got the sausage pie. Definitely a place worth visiting.

I knew this place was going to be great and it exceeded my high expectations. The pizza is amazing and the Guinness pints are as good as it gets. Don’t walk, run.

Just went here last night with a girlfriend from out of town. When I tell you, we had the absolute BEST time. Quinton (sorry if that's misspelled!) was our server and he was so kind, attentive and personable. We started with the biscuits (get the order of 5, you'll thank me later) and mussels. Both were DIVINE. Fluffy biscuits and the mussels were in a fatty, flavorful broth. I had the shrimp and grits and my friend had the burger. Both were insanely good. For dessert, we got the key lime pie napoleon and the banana cake. I would do unforgivable things for that cake. (Lmao) It was so soft and fluffy, had the perfect amount of salt and was so balanced. We also had the pleasure of meeting Kelly who was running food and she suggested the pretzel salad for dessert so that'll be next time! Don't think, just book your reservation.

Poppy – A Perfect Patio & Culinary Experience in Larchmere We were on the hunt for a beautiful patio on a perfect Cleveland day, and the internet led us right to Poppy in the Larchmere District. After seeing the gorgeous photos and reading some glowing reviews, we knew we had to try it—especially knowing it comes from one of the creative minds behind the award-winning Salt. We arrived right as they opened, which gave us the perfect calm moment to take in the setting and enjoy every bite. We started with Shawnda’s Biscuits and honey lavender butter—rich, and just the right touch of sweet. Alongside that, we ordered the woodfired fresh focaccia with burrata, sunflower seeds, saba, and the most perfectly ripe strawberries. It was as gorgeous as it was delicious. For mains, we chose the shrimp and jalapeño-infused grits with a tomato-herb oil—comforting with just the right amount of kick—and the Cobia, served over esquites (a Mexican street corn-style base) with chili oil. It usually looks prettier, but I had the cilantro salad put on the side. And then came the banana cake—which deserves a review of its own. Massive, rich, and meant to be shared (though no judgment if you don’t). It came with brown sugar caramel cream, almond butter caramel, and a banana almond crunch that took it over the top. Truly decadent. Don’t skip it. Andrew, our server was attentive and gave just the right amount of advice. A+ service. Sadly, I was too captivated by the food to snap a picture of the gorgeous patio, but trust me—it’s the kind of space that makes you want to sit and linger. The atmosphere is relaxed yet elevated, ideal for a celebration dinner, a date night, or just a really special evening with friends. Also worth noting: their signature cocktails are spot-on, though I can’t remember exactly what was in my wife’s… I just know it disappeared quickly and happily. Poppy is a must-visit. The creativity, the flavors, and the setting all come together for an unforgettable dining experience.

We had a great meal, friendly-attentive service and the outdoor seating was nice. After a nice glass of wine and a cocktail We started with wood fired focaccia and strawberries appetizer that included burrata to spread. It was very fresh. I had pan seared duck breast with jasmine rice and orange/rhubarb sauce. Very flavorful. My wife had grilled Cobia, which she enjoyed because it was a mild fish and flaky. While we had plans for dessert, we almost changed them because the dessert menu looked so good….dark chocolate crème brulee, key lime napoleon, Poppy’s banana cake, and fresh strawberry dish. We look to go back. Plenty of on street parking, an outdoor bar and plenty of seating inside and out

i have always walked past and one day i finally came in and i have to say, it was beautiful and amazing. the weather made it even better, i can’t remember my server name (i believe it starts with an A) but she was great, she told the table about the special and i lit up sooooooo hard when she said “octopus” and boy was it delicious. since its summer they have a chef outside getting it in so it was so exciting seeing my food being prepared. i did order the ceviche for the table but wasn’t the biggest fan of it but the shrimp chips add a great flavor but i won’t be ordering that again. the drink i ordered was a mojito but it was …. i can’t wait to come back and try everything else on the menu too. i recommend everyone to come on in!!! p.s. my friend ordered the burger and she said it was good, from my pov it looked good and juicy.

Food was excellent! Steak was outstanding and the Shrimp and Grits were delicious. Our server, Emma Claire, was superb. We sat outdoors and it is a very lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend for a delightful dinner experience!

Went here with a group of four friends and sat on the patio. Super easy to make a reservation online, really beautiful patio, and the steak I got was actually cooked very well! One of the better steaks I've had in a long time and at a reasonable price. The biscuits appetizer was great as well and I would recommend. The cocktail I got was fine and not the most flavorful, but overall we had a very good experience at this place with its good food and good vibes. Highly recommend!

Was so impressed with Poppy & Salt. This was the first time here in Cleveland in a long time that the waiter was observant of the tables energy. He kept an eye on us as we laughed through several stories and waited for the right moment to approach us and introduce us to the menu. He was knowledgable and romanced us with the options. The food was top notch! The charred octopus was simply outstanding. The rack of lamb was perfection. From top to bottom it was such a grerat experience. Looking forward to coming back in the summer to experience the patio scene.

first time here and it was pretty decent. its a great place to have a party or large gathering. i ordered the boneless chicken as my appetizer and it wasn’t crispy like it described but the waiter came over and helped fix the situation so then i ordered the lobster dip and it was pretty good and its served w/ chips instead of bread but i think i would have preferred a deep fried pita bread or something but the flavoring was good. i ordered the steak frites and it was okay. my only complaint was that my fries weren’t crispy enough, will i go back…i don’t know but i recommend everyone to give them a try!

Loved our meal here...food, drinks, service and vibe were all great. The food is creative American and was delicious. They also had some great coctails. Service was attentive and personable. The restaurant was very large with plenty of tables both inside and out...patio is huge. We went on a Friday night and it was pretty full...but we were able to get in to a table in about 10 mins. Recommend a reservation if going on weekend.

It was extremely loud and was given a table next to a large group, which is okay but them standing right next to me was not preferred ofc. Food and drinks are always good here! Usually the atmosphere is better than this.

Definitely one of the best patios In the city. I love the Fairmount for so many reasons!!! The cocktails are unique and carefully crafted. The servers are amazing as well. The food is great and they have weekly specials that are off menu but just as appetizing. I love their crispy vegan cauliflower and cast iron brussel sprouts. They just do it all better there!! Love love love … ps and they’re open late!!

Let me start off by saying the bartender Merrill was awesome. The outside bar experience was very beautiful beside it being hot which can't really be controlled. What can be controlled is the wait time of the food, the owner coming out to greet one guest and expedite their food like no one else was there. As well as the presentation and taste of the food, my friend ordered the same dish that the owners "VIP" guest did. My friends order of brussel sprouts look like scraps compared to their presentation even the dish it came on was different. We waited over 45 minutes for burgers and fries while they got their food in 10 mins within their arrival. He greeted them like no one else was in the room which was extremely rude. Yes, our server apologized for the delayed offered a drink and a discount but I will not excuse the behavior of the owner. Will I visit again, probably not but that server was great wish I could take her with me somewhere else. Pictures included of the great drinks the server made as well as the subpar brussel sprouts and sandwich.

My first time here and I live in the Heights. Carson is very personable! I had the house red wine and the Steak Frites (MR) arguably one of the best steaks I’ve ever had and I’ve ate at Barclay Prime in Philly and had $220 wagyu except this was only $28! Absolutely phenomenal!!

Just held our wedding reception here in the private rooms in the back. Cannot recommend enough for a moderately sized gathering. Had our own entrance and bar area. Plenty of room for a group of ~50. The manager, Jerome, has been in contact with us for a few months as we planned making sure along the way that we were comfortable and confident with the choices we were making on the buffet menu. We had PLENTY of food. He made sure to take note of all the allergies we knew would be present (there were many) and also accommodated for the handful of vegans that were all there. Jerome specifically was wonderful and present for the whole evening making sure that we had everything that we needed. He also accommodated us when we brought in some small decorations and outside dessert. As for my favorite part - the cocktails were SO GOOD. Every drink we had was delicious and I can't wait to return for a regular dinner or cocktail hour with my husband or friends!

Visited this place on a Thursday evening very cute patio, it was a hot day but the patio was shaded and felt so cool. The bartender was very friendly and service was fast and the food was amazing I had airline chicken which was cooked to perfection along with the dill veggies with dip. My husband had the knockout burger with fries. I only drink champagne but I saw the bartender making a lot of great looking cocktails. This place is worth checking out !

Went here for my birthday dinner, was a busy night for the Kentucky Derby. Food was delicious, we especially liked the gouda dip and Melon cocktail. Air levels were high so I'd recommend HEPA Air filters or using the patio seating when the weather is good. Lots of stairs to access the upper levels for seating.

Here is pub grub racheted up several notches. The shady patio is a charmer reminiscent of many little spots around Europe. The food is pricier than your run of the mill Cleveland pub but it's a cut above the pack. For example, the steak sandwich here delivers a real cooked to perfection steak. The food approaches gourmet without being pretentious. Be prepared for a wait at peak weekend times. Can't speak to the interior vibe as we have only done the patio on account of our dog. The neighborhood has a lot of dogs. The dog-friendly Terrestrial Brewing is just round the corner. We don't go there for food, but it's possible to grab a beer while you wait for your call from All Saints that they have a table for you. If you can spend a bit more than you do at other pubs do it.

Great vibe! Great back patio area. See the bartender in the back patio area for seating. We elected to just sit at the bar though. The specialty cocktails and food were great! The bartenders were really nice. The background music really fit the vibe as well. Just a great spot, go! Free street parking around the area.

The shrimp sliders and hot scallops were awesome! The ambience was nice, but too loud to hear each order. It was a little challenging to eat sitting on a deep couch, but we made it work. Whatever you do, don’t get the pick a peck drink (or whatever it was called). Tasted like straight pickle juice that was blue.

Atmosphere was beyond awesome, outdoor patio (while filled with mosquitoes!) was amazing. The chicken sandwich was well seasoned but dry, but our server made up for it with her kind attitude and great service.

All Saints has a nice patio area with a good atmosphere. It's very busy, so be sure to leave plenty of time to wait to get a table (it was a legitimate 1.5 hour wait for our group of 3). To be honest our group felt the food was just average at best, definitely could be more flavorful and idk if it justified such a long wait for everything included.

It did not filled our food BBQ expectations, meat was dry in our opinion. Service was good. Price average $60 with tips for people. My brisket sides were limited , a piece pf bread and a spoon of sauerkraut and pickles. 2 main dishes and 2 beers, with 18% tips about $60 Washroom limited since there are 2 singles, so you may wait in busy times. Food arrived pretty fast.

I’ve been watching Chef Michael Symon on TV for years, so visiting Mabel’s BBQ has been on my list forever. Finally made it after a Guardians game, and it more than lived up to expectations. The beef rib was massive and tender, the brisket was perfectly moist, and the spicy sausage had amazing flavor. The sides — smoky beans, creamy potato salad, and crisp slaw — rounded it all out. You can taste the craft and care Chef Symon is known for in every bite.

2nd time here after almost 2 years of thinking about the Boss Hog Sandwich. I love porkbelly on it, and the sandwich is perfect as served. This time we were able to have cocktails as well which were delicious, the Fall Fling, and the High-Octane Cherry Coke. I would also get the Banana Pudding again. The Perogi and Mr.Beef were dry in comparison to a Fatty cut of meat like pork belly, and we don't prefer the BBQ, but others may have a different preference. 1st time we visited my friend and I had the Loaded Fried potatoes, as well as Root Beer and Black Cherry Floats. We also had the Creamed Corn, which is not on the current menu. From that visit I'd recommend the floats only. Service is incredibly fast, we're usually there less than an hour. I deducted the Atmosphere because the air quality is unfortunate very high. I would suggest more air filters.

Great spot to EAT MORE MEAT! I arrived on a Tuesday for dinner and got situated right up at the bar with ease. The place was lively but still had a few tables available. The decor and atmosphere was very unique and there was loads to look at while waiting. Service was very smooth and food came looking mighty tasty. Meats were juicy and moist - real top notch yummy stuff.

The best bbq is in Cleveland??? How is it possible??? Well, that’s for me. The best pulled pork sandwich I’ve ever had, now I challenged myself to find a better one. On top of that, very professional staff and beautiful place!!

My wife and I stopped in before a show at Rocket Arena. Even though the area was very busy, we were able to put our names in and grab a drink at the bar while we waited. Once seated, our server was excellent and attentive. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the Mr. Beef. The pulled pork was moist and flavorful, and the potato salad stood out with its strong dill flavor—delicious. The mustard sauce on the table was another highlight. The baked beans were fine, but nothing memorable. Overall, a great spot to grab a meal before an event, with friendly service and some standout flavors!

This place lives up to the hype! I came in for lunch with our video crew and enjoyed the patio in the sun. The overall atmosphere and people working here is perfect during the summer months. Winter, might be a little cold - ha! I got the Mr Beef brisket sandwich and wow... be sure to ask for the Aardvark sauce to add to it for the incredible experience I had. The others had the Polish Girl and Big Pig, their plates were empty too. Solid lunch to say the least. Definitely enjoyed the time, I'll be back!

We visited on a Thursday afternoon in mid-April 2025 for lunch. We had just eaten the previously at the location in Peninsula and had a great experience. However this location was not the best. Service started out great. We were happy to find out that we could do carry out with the daily specials, which is burgers for Thursdays. We placed our order and instead of waiting in the cramp sitting area with small wooden chairs while other patrons were coming it, we took a seat just outside the restaurant but inside the building it was in. There is a bunch of soft sofas in the lobby area still in perfect view of restaurant. They said it would be about 20 mins. We sat there for exactly 20 mins and went in and the food was already ready and just sitting behind the counter. We had no idea how long it was sitting there but we were kind of in a hurry to get back to the museum. There were 3 staff working the front and very few patrons in the restaurant. A little upset not one of them walked out to let us know our food was ready but probably watched all of us just sitting there on the couches/benches. They were nice and pleasant but it was just the extra foresight to be like oh, maybe I should let them know it's ready because they are just sitting over there. I could give them the benefit of the doubt and maybe they were all busy doing something else and didn't make that connection. We took our food to eat outside as there are picnic areas at the nearby park with the big "FREE" stamp. We got all the way there and took the food out and realized that they had never put the ranch in that we asked for and the extra ranch too that was written on the receipt. The hostess who took our order even made multiple comments about it with my wife. It was a couple blocks away and we did not want to walk all the way back just for ranch. I also opened my large Deluxe Pizza which I also ordered from the other Winking Lizard location in Peninsula and this one was much more under whelming. There was maybe half the amount of toppings as the other restaurant. Disappointing knowing what it could be like and what I ended up getting. I'm going to conclude this review with a, your mileage may vary and depending on which location you're going to you may have different experiences as well. If this was my first experience with Winking Lizard I probably would try something else next time.

had dinner at Winking Lizard Tavern in Cleveland and really enjoyed most of the experience. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Spinach Salad, and it was excellent — fresh greens, flavorful chicken, and a great balance of spice and texture. It’s definitely something I’d order again. At the table, we shared the Bavarian Pretzels, which were a huge hit. They came with both beer cheese sauce and mustard, and everyone at the table loved them — perfectly soft and warm with just the right amount of salt. The combination of the pretzels with the dipping sauces made for a great starter to share. One of the biggest highlights of the evening was the music. The playlist was awesome — upbeat, familiar songs that gave the place great energy without being too loud. Honestly, the music alone set the tone for a fun and laid-back night and was probably my favorite part of the experience. The overall vibe of Winking Lizard is casual and friendly — definitely a great spot to hang back with friends, grab some drinks, and enjoy good food in a lively atmosphere. It has that classic tavern feel with a local touch, and you can tell it’s a popular hangout. The only real downside was the customer service. Our waitress was a bit lackluster — not rude, just disengaged and slow to check in. It didn’t ruin the night, but it was noticeable compared to the otherwise positive vibe of the place. All in all, Winking Lizard is a fun, casual spot with great food, fantastic music, and a comfortable atmosphere. I’d definitely go back — especially for the Cajun chicken salad and those pretzels — but I’d hope for a little more attentiveness from the staff next time.

Went here with my family after going to the science center as a lunch plan. So to be completely honest everything was completely average. NOTE I got a chicken Cajan sandwich and there was NO Cajan seasoning on the sandwich so it was basically just a grilled chicken sandwich with mediocre taste. Only about half of the other 8 people said their food was good the rest said it was bare minimum taste. The appetizers were the best tasting here. Overall I can’t recommend this restaurant go somewhere else and get your moneys worth.

Total bar food, frozen and fried. Service was good. Not impressed at all. Nothing to write home about or wow me

Waited more than 45 minutes to receive our food for a table of four (4 entree’s and 2 sides of wings). The restaurant was not incredibly busy—normal or perhaps a tad bit light for a Saturday evening. Waiter brought our drinks and didn’t stop by again until after the food runner brought our food. Pretzel beer cheese burger was good. Food was ok, nothing to write home about. Overall wouldn’t recommend this place to a friend.

Nice options for an afternoon lunch . Taylor was a great server. We had the fish sandwich and the fish was really good. We also had the spinach salad which was good

Food was good, not great. Our server doesn't look very happy to be there, but she did her job.

Came in on a Saturday afternoon. Really good chocolate peanut butter stout and made a great special order Margarita. We had the Sausage pepper pepperoni pizza that was excellent. Staff was great, really attentive and very nice. Cali was our server and was amazing.

Market Garden in Ohio City offered a solid experience overall, with a lovely patio that made for a relaxed atmosphere and a great music selection that added to the vibe. The service was pretty average, but the food came out quickly, which was a plus. The smash burger was the clear standout, perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and elevated by a delicious special sauce. Paired with hot, crispy fries, it was easily the highlight of the meal. The salad with salmon was just okay, not particularly memorable, and the rib sandwich unfortunately lacked seasoning and depth. Despite a few misses, it was an enjoyable visit, and I’d definitely return, especially for that smash burger.

Every time I've been here the food & service has been great. Stopped for lunch after spending time at the West Side Market. Restaurant has a good vibe, dining both inside & outside - for any size party. Service was helpful & friendly. Everything we had was so good. I had the Korean Chicken Sando - such a tasty chicken sandwich. Opted for a Caesar salad over fries. No regrets. My wife had the Veggie Sandwich, also opted for the Caesar salad over fries. She said it was the best veggie sandwich she's ever had. Beer menu offered a lot of options (we didn't have any) - don't hesitate to stop in for some great food & drink.

Espresso martinis were absolutely amazing, and the pizza was to die for! The vibe was great with awesome music playing throughout. My husband loved his beer, and we both agreed this place deserves 5 stars all day long.

I'm sitting here right now and this place is great. The Ohio pepperoni pizza is fire. The beer is fantastic. The bloody Mary's are homemade from scratch by the chef and are so darn good. The West Side Market is 50' away and its magical. BUT..........the best part of this place are the wonderful staff members. Everyone is so kind and genuine. Hats off to them for making my family's Saturday perfection. Keke and Kat are out bartenders and they are fantastic 🫂

Atmosphere is great. Our server Gavin was fabulous and knowledgeable about the beers and drinks. We order a couple of Pizza’s (Vegan) and they were delicious. The Street Corn pizza was my favorite.

No food at this location. Beer and souvenirs only. Service was the best of any brewery we visited in Cleveland. The Prosperity Hefeweizen was good, not a German Hefeweizen but still good. The Citramax was way too Citra. The Ginger Wheat was GINGER! Wheat. The Buckeye Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout was too much Peanut Butter and Chocolate and not enough stout. Neither of these was bad, just over flavored. The Octoberfest was our favorite. We are beer snobs so come and enjoy.

We got too The Bourbon Street Barrel Room a bit later in the evening for dinner on our way through too Columbus. We waited a few minutes too be seated, the resteraunt it's self is super eclectic and beautiful it smelled amazing from 3 blocks away which is where we parked... Parking was not awesome for sure lol... but once we got in and seated our waitress for the evening was very friendly and informative for sure. My wife got the Gumbo (Brown food with rice in photo) and i got the Jambalaya (Reddish Rice photo) . And too start we got the Gator Bites which were fantastic no photo (we were starving and forgot....) lol an absolute amazing experience and would definitely go back! 100%

The food and service here were fantastic. My niece tried gator bites for the first time, they rocked! I had the Ragin' Cajun chicken sandwich, it was soooo delicious! My man got the gumbo. He added a bit of lime to it and said that little twist made the gumbo perfect! The place is gorgeous, the server, Autumn, was so gracious, friendly, attentive...perfect! We really loved her! We will be back!

Always has great service, great food, and authentic feeling atmosphere (jazzy music, gas lanterns). You can tell it is well run. They have a healthy sized menu, and the desserts are all excellent. I have never needed to wait long for a table there either since they have a lot of space including a second floor upstairs. Friendly servers.

The pork chop was really good, the grits just ok not alot of flavor sadly corn as a side and the only veggie beside okra was a bummer. Meatloaf tasty and nice portion. Happy hour specials pretty decent. Fun spot worth a stop.

Great place to have a taste of the bayou without having to drive down to New Orleans. Quality food in large portions. Enough for two meals in one. Beautiful restaurant inside and out!

My husband and I tried this place for our date night, and we were both very satisfied. The drinks were a little watery, but everything else was very good. We will definitely be back to try their beignets since we don’t have room our 1st time. Great service from the moment we walked in until we walked out. The food 10/10. The only thing was both my husband drink and mine were very watery.

As close to the French Quarter as you can get to without being there.The Brunch menu was off the charts.Never knew of a place that has Tito's on tap.Will be back for dinner.Thanks Kyle for the great service.

Barrio Tacos offers a vibrant and eclectic dining experience with its customizable taco options and lively atmosphere. The build-your-own taco concept is fantastic, allowing you to tailor your meal exactly to your liking with a wide array of fresh ingredients and unique combinations. The tacos themselves are okay, nothing special but they were overall good. My wife loved her bowl Our our drinks were lackluster. A flight of margaritas, a glass of whiskey. Both were underwhelming. However, the service was amazing. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable and gave us some places to visit while we were visiting Cleveland. Overall, Barrio Tacos is a solid choice for taco lovers looking for a fun and flavorful meal, earning a respectable 3.5 stars.

Excellent patio. Excellent service. Barrio loses a star from me due to inconsistent food offerings. My elote queso (not photographed) had approximately 12 kernels of corn. A steep price for corn. My main food orders resort to non-meat items. Tofu and mushrooms. I would love to enjoy a meat item but they usually resemble dog food quality. I will return to barrio. But I hesitate to explore all the build your own options.

While visiting the city and wanting some tacos we decided to try this place and it couldn't have been more perfect. The service was great, the food was excellent and it wasn't very busy when we arrived and we secured a prime spot to watch the game.

Very great. Welcomed me and my friends in 30 minutes before closing which is unheard of around here. Thank you so much. Very clean and very nice staff 10/10

One of the best taco I ever had in cleveland. The server explained the menu perfectly. Extensive choices to choose from.

I am sad to say I'm devastated how much this particular Barrio has declined since we were going here regularly before COVID. Tremont was always our favorite Barrio. Now we're not sure we will ever go back to any Barrio. Service was absolutely abysmal. It's almost impossible to change the taste of your taco no matter what you get. The only thing they changes up the very one note taste is the fruity pineapple slaw or the hot Carolina Reaper sauce. This last time I got fish and pork- two completely different textures and tastes with completely different toppings and sauces and other than the fish being burnt and slightly more salty... I thought I was eating the same taco. Find your roots, as the amazing Barrio before you started franchising like mad and then I'll be back as a regular in no time.

Love Barrio! One of my favorite places. Food and service are always great! We sat on the patio, which is an awesome patio. Server was busy and still took great care of us.

Pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Classic Cleveland experience. Authentic food with excellent quality. Our server was very informative. We were there on a Saturday, after the brunch, so we'll have to go back to experience the full menu.

Best brunch in cleveland hands down. The croquet madame is easily the best I've had. The bechamel on it is very well seasoned with a nice rich flavor. The ham on this sandwich is also very high quality. The debris gravy saganaki has a very deeply flavored with a rich beefy flavor. The kasseri cheese is amazing perfectly golden and it's incredible. The drinks here are also great. They're strong but balanced there take on a mint julep is great with very punchy flavors. I really enjoyed it. The biggest downside is parking can be hard here it's all street parking. But it's absolutely worth trying.

Such a nice place! An absolutely wonderful patio with great ambiance. The food was what really stood out. We went for their happy hour specials and were not disappointed! The hummus and pita? Delicious. The dolmades? So good. The cheese board? Fire. Would totally recommend for a nice light dinner or lunch during happy hour.

My hubby and I decided we would have a fun get-away trip to Cleveland for the weekend. While we were walking we saw a restaurant we had seen featured on Guy Fieri’s show! We sat at the counter and were greeted with the kindest waiter!! He helped us decide what to order. The food is something that will have you dreaming about later!!! Its out of this world!! The service is even better!!! If you’re in downtown Cleveland , it’s an absolute must to visit!!! We would give it 10 stars if we could!! An absolute gem!!!

I had the avgolemono soup that was very watery, not thick like it usually is. Then I ordered donates which are usually served warm & they were cold. Then I ordered the Mediterranean olive oil with bread that was a little on the sour side. My Husband got the asparagus & ramp soup served cold & it was excellent! For his entrée he had the crispy artichokes that were excellent! Next time I will opt for the Greek horiatiki salad & the veal, lamb, & ricotta meatballs with pasta.

We had the Toast and Jam Bread Board (Highly recommended!), Saganaki, and the Eggs Benedict, along with drinks of Kickin' it with Kiwi and Gettin' Figgy With It. If you're a foodie, you'll love all the flavors, and while the drinks were delicious and unique, the food was so fantastic! It was a perfect morning for enjoying the covered outside patio, which had plenty of fans, plus a great cross breeze. Can't wait to go back and try the dinner menu!

Always a pleasure dining here. We had the dolmades, stuffed zucchini flowers, pork chop and the halibut (pictured). All were delicious. This is one of our favorite places to eat. It never disappoints.
