50 Best Bars near Independence

“Loved the vibes here! Very warm and welcoming, with great service and delicious food. I really appreciated the wide variety of menu options, in addition to the free popcorn. Prices were also really reasonable, especially for the portions. Can't wait to come back!Parking: Large free lot available, but be careful not to park in the next door hotel lot. Somewhat difficult only because the place is so popular that the lot was full.“

“I never realized how awesome this place was until air stopped in and gave it another try. The new owner is awesome! She works her a$$ off to make sure everyone is taken care of! The food is really good, drinks are cold and quick, and the atmosphere is electric. I will definitely be making this place a more frequent stop. It's definitely worth the detour!!“

“When I am in the mood for a Corned Beef sandwich, I usually end up here. The corned beef is piled "mountain high." So high, in fact, that it's hard to find the bread.This has a sports bar atmosphere as well as other elements to it. The food is always good and hot. The menu is pretty large and covers most of the sports bar fare.If you are in the mood for a good sandwich, burger, wrap, or salad, this is a good choice.Parking: At lunchtime on a weekday, it's very difficult to find any parking. You would be better off to make it an early or a later lunch to have an easier time with parking.“

“We have an absolutely amazing time every time we eat here! Perfect for a romantic, late night reservation with a group of 6 or less. Kitchen closes at 9 so get your order in- but the waitress told us right away so we didn't miss it! Great recommendations and waitress very knowledgeable about specials and favorites. GLUTEN FREE chicken breading options as well!!!!!! 10/10“

“Johnny's on Fulton is one of our favorite places to eat. We just love the food and customer service they offer. This restaurant should be on your list of places to eat and have fun. And don't forget to ask to sit outside this summer, beautiful outdoor area. They also have great party rooms. We had a Christmas party there last December, food was superb and our wait staff was the best.“

“Decided to try this place. It doesn't look like much from the outside but you have to go inside and it is such a cute small restaurant. We were seated in the back room and our server was really nice and knowledgeable about both the food and drinks menu. We ordered a few drinks, all were so cute and fancy. Had a few appetizisers and the elk burger. Also decided to try the kitchen snack, which our server said it's different every time and for each table - we got chicken and waffles and were totally surprised, we weren't expecting that for a snack. Definitely wanting to go back and tey other menu items and cocktails“

“My Favorite Italian Restaurant in town! Best food, wine, service and great atmosphere! Omg and did I mention desert ?! The most delicious! Valerio & Stella go above and beyond for their customers which they treat as a family! Highly recommend A +“

“One of my favorite places for a bite in Tremont! The LIT burger is the absolute best. I also suggest the Power Salad and the Blood Fountain cocktail is what dreams are made of! Don’t pass on the tavern fries. You really can’t go wrong with anything!“

“I got my food to go after I’d had a cocktail. The swinging benches across the street are a perfect place to sit and eat your divine tastes of FAT CAT’s … I had the salmon burger and Brussels sprouts and a Purple haze cocktail at the bar. The sandwich was literally perfect! The avocado was the perfect touch! Always a treat! Tastes and Travels gives FAT CATS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We went around 1:30pm on March7th. Food was very good. Had wine and cocktails. Service was outstanding. Female server and she was probably the best server I have ever had. I would only recommend that there were more appetizers. Bread was outstanding as well as the croissants. Vegetarian dishes were very good as well as the Broccoli melt. We were able to find parking on the street.“

“Came before league bowling for the wing's special. The number of different sauce varieties is very imoressive. I had the Thai Chili Garlic and it was awesome ! Just the right amount of sweet and heat! I tried my husband's garlic Parmesan and it was 'ok'. It was a bit bland for my liking, but he enjoyed. I also had a Bacardi lemon with Diet Coke. It was good and great special price. This is a sports bar - plenty of TVs with sports and news. Our server was the best - attentive and kind. Don't let this strip mall location deter you from trying. It's a nice hidden gem!!! Definitely recommend ! Looking forward to coming back!!!“

“Terra is the best thing to happen to Terrestrial Brewing Co! Located inside the brewery, Terra brings in a more comfortable and cool atmosphere with a simple menu, good cocktails and great food at a reasonable price. Of course their craft beer is available as well. The Pimento cheese dip is a must try, and the chicken sandwich is done right. Dog friendly patio and also in the brewery side. Check the website to see their daily specials as well!“

“Hands down best pizza I had ever had! Got the large speck pie there and small diavolo to go. Blown away! Great service by the staff and truly was worth the wait! Not one bad thing heard from people telling me about this place. Best advice I can give, there will be a wait but wait for it anyway. Got there around 45 mins after they opened and it was about an hour wait for 2. The wait is all worthwhile!“

“We were very pleased with our catering experience at Wild Eagle, in the patio room. The room was spacious, and had a nice selection of games, a large bar, and several tables set up for food and presents. The staff was top notch, helpful and courteous. The food was excellent and well portioned.Parking: Large parking lot.“

“January 2024: My husband and I were visiting the Cleveland area and were looking for something to do on a Wednesday night. I did a quick search of LIVE MUSIC TONIGHT and this club popped. It was their open mic night and we figured, what the heck. And we're so glad we went!At ages 59 and 69, we thought we'd be the oldest folks in the place but we were wrong. The club was packed with local musicians and music lovers of all ages and although not all of the acts were of profressional quality, it was a supportive and loving audience and much of the music was very good.If you live in the area, make it a regular stop. If visiting, add it to your MUST EXPERIENCE list of things to do.What a great little club! Rock on, Coda!“

“Place was packed. Parking awful. Being handicapped I had to walk way too far to enter. Very loud and noisy. Had a big group and had to shout to one another. My BLT was tasty. Service slow but the waitress was running around like crazy. Definitely needed more help. Have been here before and was much better the other times. Won't be bringing our group back here.“

“Fantastic place. Was there Thurs afternoon, ran into 3 people I knew, & I hadn't seen each one of them in > 30 years!!

“Tabletop is a great place to go if you like playing board games. They have a large and diverse selection of games, so you can never run out of new games to play. They have a unique menu of tasty food, along with a great selection of drinks and cocktails. Their servers are kind, attentive, and very helpful in finding the perfect game for you to play if you're not sure where to start. They have some awesome events like trivia, RPG nights, and game clinics. I highly recommend going to Tabletop!“

“Great atmosphere and vibe. Lots of outside seating on a perfect evening. Bring your dog if you have one. Tap options were very interesting. Mac and cheese was great. I sat at the bar and service was ok. Apparently lots of people around me were locals who got immediate service, even coming to the bar after me. I waited quite a while to even grab a taster. I will give it another go in the future but other places to visit before I come back“

“This was our first visit to Barocco Larchmere since its conversion back from Hola Tacos. We had a wonderful experience! The food was fabulous and the service was amazing!

Do not park your car in Dave's supermarket your car will be towed.Kid-friendliness: Kid Friendly“

“If you're a fan of Vikings, heavy metal soundtracks, and expertly crafted cocktails, LBM in Lakewood, Ohio is a Valhalla you cannot miss. This Norse-themed bar is a haven for those who love a little food and alcohol mixed with their metal.The cocktail menu is a true testament to LBM's creativity. They've got classics with unique twists and seasonal selections that'll blow your mind. Be sure to try the "Doomin Sun" – It will make you feel like a true warrior. If you love something a little different, the "Savage Garden" is a vibrant, herbaceous delight that'll awaken your senses.But don't think LBM only caters to cocktail connoisseurs. Their burger is one of the best in Lakewood – juicy, cooked to perfection, topped with all the good stuff. Pair it with a side of their crispy fries, and you're in for a feast worthy of an Asgardian celebration.The Viking atmosphere is a major plus. Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of rustic wood, Norse imagery, and a soundtrack of epic metal tunes that sets the perfect mood. LBM is definitely a place where you embrace your inner warrior while enjoying great drinks and food.Highly recommended for a unique and delicious night out!“

“The place was very cool and the drinks were excellent. But the bartender watched us walk in and left. He went into the small kitchen and started doing dishes for 5 or 10 minutes before coming back to the bar to serve us a drink. Very odd to just leave people allowed in the bar like that. But he was friendly and made a great drink. Also we were the only ones there so bartender leaving didn't make any sense.“

“Our family always stops into Hotz before we start our night out in Tremont. The bartender are amazing and treat everyone as family. Although it's been awhile since I have visited I can say nothing has changed!!! Great crowed and very welcoming.“

“Good food, though the specials are pricey. Everything was served hot and nicely prepared. Very crowded, as they try to fit as many tables and customers in the space as they can. Server was attentive and professional. Best to avoid peak hours if you want a less noisy atmosphere, but in total a nice experience.“

“Great selection of craft-brewed beers, meads, sour beers, served by knowledgeable bartenders. Delicious small selection of food in the pop up "shack" in the back...mellow unpretentious atmosphere/large tables/no TVs. If this is your scene, highly recommend!Parking: Free parking at night in the lot at Washington and Lee“

“Fantastic hot dog place/live music venue. Amazing hot dogs. Really nice staff. I had a vegan dog with marinated mushrooms, caramelized onion, garlic escarole, Italian giardineira, and roasted garlic aioli. It was AMAZING. Also had some fresh cut fries which were great. Tons of sauces to choose from. Will be back for sure!“

“Everything about this place is top-notch! The drinks and mushroom burger were so good, and the vibe is there!! It’s a bonus that last call for food on weekends is 1am, this will definitely be my go-to spot for drinks and a late night biteVegetarian options: Mushroom burger, sides, drinks“

“Dante isn’t looking for laughs, it’s looking for gasps!Expect a creative, one-of-a-kind dining experience. Bank features on the interior are tasteful and help build a classy, sophisticated and vibrant atmosphere. Service is prompt and professional.Food is the money maker. Flavor pairings across the menu are magnificent. The crab cake/pork belly appetizer was the big hit across our group. For pasta, I enjoyed the carnaroli risotto, which was a light and fresh take on a traditionally rich dish. The classic bolognese (pictured) was terrific for those eyeing a more traditional dish.“

“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!!“

“Went to Brick and Barrel on St. Patty’s day and it looked like a super cozy spot to drink some brews. We got their flight and sampled the different brews. They have a pizza place (different restaurant) next door that offers some delicious Italian pizza as well as other Italian food. They also had some sandwiches for St. Patty’s day! They serve some bar snacks inside and everyone is super warm and welcoming.“

“A great meal at D'Agnese's as always! Never disappointed in the quality of food here. Great service, ambience is a little better than average. The noise level was higher than average on this visit only because we were seated next to a large group. Never rushed here, always encouraged to take your time & enjoy your meal. Would recommend!“

“Love this place. From the shows, food, drinks and ESPECIALLY the staff. Never have had a bad night at the Winchester. Great neighborhood spot for quick service and an overall great time. 100/10 recommend.Check out a new show! Ask the bartender to make you a fun mocktail!!! They are accommodating to all!!Can’t say enough how great the staff is. <3“

“I'd give 6 Stars if I could. Picked up 8 family pizzas and 8 double salads for a party the other night. Everyone loved it! Definitely recommend the plain cheese and the sausage/pepperoni combo. Crust was perfect. Sauce, cheese and toppings were all delicious. Salads with tons of cheese and Farinacci's signature Italian dressing with tomato, cucumber and black olives. Deb was friendly as usual and the restaurant was packed. Dine in or take out, this place is as good as it gets!“

“Blue Agave Cleveland, an amazing place that you should absolutely try. Great food and the margaritas were terrific. Try street tacos and Mezcal-Rita. Decor looked great and service was amazing. Our server Kristela was amazing, patient and sweet. Thank you blue agave! Definitely a great experience.“

“It was cozy and intimate. The beer was ice cold and the drinks were strong and cheap. The crowd was a mix of the artistic people you find in SoHo and working-class folks. We went for a comedy show, poetry reading and live performance from Will Cherry - who was amazing. The staff was super friendly, the service was great and the energy was both electric and laid back.“

“It was a brisk evening in the city, and we were desperate to warm our souls. A few hours to spare before our concert, this was the nourishment we longed for. The music thumped and sparkled, while the room felt warm like home. Simple is king! Small food and drink menu with no complaints. I weap for the missing star: In these lean times, it would be tough to frequent.“

“The server was excellent, and the food is tasty. The truffle pommes frites are delectable.The cocktails are watered down, though, so stick to beer or wine.Where we were sat was under the second floor overhang, and it was noisy from what sounded like people running back and forth. They wouldn't let us sit on the patio even though they had the firepit going, but then let other people sit on the patio after us.“

“Such incredibly amazing service & yummy sushi. They even went so far as to change the music playing overhead, to a request (piano music) to make our dining experience that much more enjoyable. We were the only ones present so far, at that moment, being there for opening of the day. Was fantastic tea, fresh fish, and hot soup. . . I love the beautiful purple flowers that garnish some of the plates & each meal is presented with such an artistic flare - I did not want to disturb the food to eat it, was so pretty as presented ! Could not have been better, for such an affordable price.“

“This is our favorite classic local bar and grill in the entire region, the history here is awesome and the ownership/leadership good people.Not only is the food excellent (best wings around but only on Wednesdays).The environment inside will amaze you.A truly “hometown haunt” where you can meet and chat with authentic and honest folks, while having the kids with you as a family weekly event. The craft beer selection is ALWAYS on point and unique.“

“Not only is superelectric pinball parlor an excellent place to stop in on date night or family day, they make a great venue for events. We have now hosted two parties at superelectric pinball. Our elopement reception and then my 30th birthday. Both times, superelectric pinball’s staff have been perfect hosts. Even if you wouldn’t consider yourself a pinball player (we really aren’t serious players), the space screams fun, laughter, good times. Our guests had a great time trying games, mingling, drinking at the bar. We really love this place, and we think you would too.“
