26 Best Pubs in Cleveland

“An amazing Brewery with an Awesome Staff. A unique and special place in every way. If you enjoy craft beer, are a home brewer, or appreciate Cleveland History (or all of the above), this place is a Must See. Absolutely one of the coolest places in Cleveland Hands-down.“

“I've lived down the street from this place for for 6 years. Tonight my dinner got ruined so we decided to order something new that was close. I'm an absolute idiot for waiting six years to eat at PJ's. Everything was amazing. It's so good that when we were full we kept eating. The pot roast was the best I've ever gotten in any restaurant. Not to mention the prices are reasonable and the portions are perfect for leftovers. If you're looking for some good home style food you need to try this place. We've already planned a date night too actually go and also enjoy the atmosphere. Big thank you to everyone working there!“

“Everything is great but sucked that I had to go back inside after leaving from picking up a take out order because they forgot sour cream. The lady said the quesadilla doesn’t come with it but I said it was on the menu. She went back and got a little blob of it but literally held it from me saying “I’m going to have to confirm that the menu says that or else I’m going to have to charge you.” Like cool story I guess I look like a liar. After they pulled the menu on their phones and said “I guess it does say that on the menu” I got my little blob. Y’all would have charged for this?“

“We were walking down W 25th and saw Old Angle Tavern from the windows facing the street. It looked like a relaxed place that had some people in it, but wasn't overlying crowded so we strolled in. I'm glad we did!We sat at the bar and were greeted by a friendly bartender. After some light conversation, we ordered some food. I got some wings that really hit the spot! They have a great Buffalo sauce that's flavorful and spicy. And they're ranch dipping sauce is clearly made in house...I've never had ranch that was that buttery and tasty! My dining companion enjoyed his salad and soup as well. Great atmosphere and music too! I'll be back!“

“I love coming here for brunch! They have an amazing food selection and i'm always torn what to get. Their biscuits & gravy are amazing! The vibe of this place is very chill. The service is always great. Highly suggest you stop in here for brunch if you haven't already!“

“Great dive bar feel. Cozy, dim, comfy. Went after a Charge Bball game, had a couple of mixed drinks, a pizza, and their Cajun chips. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Played darts and pinball....bartender was very friendly. Great experience all around and affordable....we'll be back.“

“This is my favorite bar in the area. In my experience the pizza, burgers, and wings are always great, what else do you need when it comes to bar food? Service has always been great as well. Always recommend place to anyone who frequents the area.“

“We’ve been here several times, hidden little gem. Food is outstanding but tonight you outdid yourselves. We’ve been to several Clam Bakes but this one is hands down my new favorite!!! The BEST clam chowder I’ve ever tasted. We’ll be back next year and many times in between. Thank you!!“

“Randomly went here after a visit to the aquarium. There was a wedding reception in the bar area. It was hard to tell if we were allowed to be there or not. They had a small area blocked off for regular customers, however, it seemed like the employees were stretched pretty thin. That being said, the food was so good! Decent choice of beers on tap, great wings, even my son’s tenders and fries were fantastic. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area. Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Went for Easter Brunch today.Food buffet was good, plenty of choices. Great Easter bunny which went to tables, photos available.The place was decorated well. Very easy to get what you needed, drinks provided and for purchase.Check it out. Staff and owners were great! Highly recommended!“

“In the labyrinthine heart of Cleveland lies Judd's City Tavern, a sanctuary where surreal meets the sublime. The bar staff possess a warmth that defies the ordinary, weaving a tale of hospitality that lingers in the soul. Amidst this enigmatic ambiance, the melodies spun by DJs on Wednesday and Friday nights cast an ethereal spell, guiding patrons through a mesmerizing journey. Each note, each smile, becomes a page in a narrative of camaraderie and delight. Judd's City Tavern transcends the realms of reality, offering an experience reminiscent of my own surreal narratives, where the mundane transforms into the extraordinary. An escapade here is a sojourn into the surreal, leaving visitors, forever changed and enchanted.“

“I could not recommend a better place for real people real good food real good times and the something about it that can't quite be in words where if you find yourself there Pat will make you feel like family. I had to get married there so I did.“

“This was our first time in the Aviator....and our server Tanell made it a Wonderful dining experience ...Our dinners were fabulous!...Tanells service was spot on to make us feel comfortable....there were no disappoints....We'll be Back!“

“Mario was AWESOME!! I was back in town visiting my daughter when i decided to stop in for a drink. He made a point of welcoming me and asking my name. He was engaging and very fun to chat with. The atmosphere was just what I was looking for!! Go see Mario on Monday’s he’ll take great care of you!! I’ll be back Ricky“

“This has been a Tremont staple for a long time. Overall good vibe although it can get crowded (as expected) on the weekends. Staff is funny and provide good service. A nice patio in the back. Drink prices are standard and they have a good selection overall.“

“Drove up from Port Clinton, Ohio to see Ethan Timm play. Great experience as soon as we opened the door! Our waiter was impeccable! Knowledgeable, prompt, kind, courteous, & friendly. Building has lots of unique character! Bartender made everyone in the room feel at home! Worth the drive!!!!“

“Still family owned, still carrying on the legend of Mitzi - many local articles were written about her over the years. A recent gentle makeover kept all the 110-year old features, it still feels like home. One of Cleveland's best bars, a literal time machine, so old school you are buzzed in at the front door just like Miss Mitzi did for decades. Nothing trendy here - which makes it perfect. Always an interesting night, with a mix of old timers, art school students, and devotees of authentic saloon vibes.“

“Pizza was good, mac bites are an avoid. Good atmosphere. I found this place at lunch and the server showed good interest in everyone in the establishment. It did get busy and she was all alone but she handled it all. Lots of locals stopped in for a mid day bite and drink.“

“Our first time and it was wonderful! We stopped with our kiddos for a late lunch after some Sunday skyzone fun. It was also during football playoffs and we had never been so we weren't sure what to expect! ALL the servers were so friendly, everyone worked as a team to deliver a fantastic experience and great food! When we left our server told our kids to have a great week at school. I just thought that was so sweet. I can safely recommend this place for family fun as well as a great spot to belly up and watch Sunday football! A healthy blend! We'll definitely be going back and highly recommend!“

“Great neighborhood bar. Grew up in this area feel safe. Great place to meet old friends n make new. Love that the owners participate in fun activities n karaoke nights. Fun place to watch football n have special occasions at. Stop in and see for yourself.“

“Couldn’t recommend Christian and his team enough if you’re looking to host an event. We had a great experience hosting our Rehearsal Dinner the night before our wedding at The Arcade! Great communication, great people, great food and of course, good beer“

“Are you on the way to the airport and want to take the edge off? Stop here before you blow $100 at Sammy's airport bar! Keep that money for your vacation! Nice little out of the way dive bar with friendly locals. It is dog friendly! Just as long as your dog ain't angry!“

“Courteous staff, good food, perfect location. One can view the lake from here. I had the apple and cranberry salad, fish and chips and the bread pudding. Everything delicious! Loved it. Will definitely come back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan“

“Great place for drinks, dinner and trivia! Had the chicken paprikash, polski nokaut, fish bites, buffalo cauliflower and grilled Caesar salad- all was amazing! Helpful, nice server with great recommendations. Excited to come here in the summer to check out the patio.“

“I don’t go out to bars much these days but decided to stick my head in on St. Paddy’s as I’ve driven by a bunch. Looks so low key and not at all obnoxious from the outside - no advertisements for various alcohol, just a good old Christmas Story lamp in the window. Inside, it’s a warm and friendly neighborhood pub that made me feel welcome. Full of Irish cheer on the big day, but I’m sure there is some of that year round. Prices for a pint were fair maybe even in the lower side. Some places regulars don’t really like new people coming in or are cool or suspicious towards them. Not here at all. I barely drink anymore but if I was going to have a goto neighborhood pub this would be it.“

“Lovely old fashioned neighborhood bar. Friendly staff and tasty daily meal specials they actually make. Today l had pork snitzel with real mashed potatoes. I think they cater mostly to the lunch crowd, so call ahead if you are making a special trip for dinner, in case they run out. Great value.“
