10 Best Dive Bars near Berea

“.We ate at Oriole today. I had the Roman Oriole, and she had a patty-melt. Both we very good. No pre-prepared beef Patty's. The beef had excellent flavor. All the ingredients were crisp and fresh. The fries were very good too. Service was friendly and fast. Prices were good. We will try it again for a dinner another time.“

“Fantastic little dive bar! Berea has quite a few dive bar gems already, and this is right up there with them! Cash only bar, but there is a ATM in premises if you forget to bring the green stuff. For you craft beer enthusiasts, you won't find anything here except for GLBC Dortmunder Gold. No IPA's or anything else available, so I gotta dock a star for that. But this place isn't for the fancy beer snobs like me. It's a place to get cheap beer and a shot and enjoy meeting the locals. Friendly staff and prompt service! Bathroom consists of a urinal and toilet crammed into a room the size of a broom closet, again, par for the course for a dive bar. The building dates from the 1800's and has a painted over copper ceiling which is pretty unique! Highly recommend if you crave a dive bar in Berea!“

“Fun local place. Friendly people and bar tenders have always been excellent. Message to the owner. You have improved with your stereotyping (type of hat or the way it is worn). Realize that has nothing to do with the character of the person.“

“Nothing like Close Quarters. I lived in Westlake for 2 years in 97-99. This was my favorite watering hole. The atmosphere was unlike any other place that I have been. I traveled throughout the Great Lakes. You feel like you are home with friends the first time you walk through the doors.“

“What a lovely little spot! I'm all about a good dive bar and we found the best one in Cleveland! Sherry & Simone were so welcoming, it felt like home. A pool table & curated jukebox were great additions and although we didn't eat (Sloppy Joes $4), I'm sure they were delicious. Inexpensive, charming & the visit left me with a huge smile on my face, knowing this was one of those special places.Can't say enough good things, just an all around great time. This place is a real as it gets. If you are in Cleveland, pay them a visit, tell em Patti from Philly sent you. ??“

“We are from Texas and had a few hours to relax before catching some sleep. The good lord lead us to this place! We were a little reluctant driving up and then had the best time!!! Great staff. Great food. Clean, well laid out space. I wish we could say we will be back! Definitely would if we weren't 1300 miles away!“

“It was a nice surprise, hidden gem. We were driving by and decided to stop in. It was quiet when we arrived. Service was good and friendly. Then a 1/2 hour later it was packed for karaoke. Which turned out to be very entertaining. The crowd was friendly and fun. Looking forward to going back.“

“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!“

“The Ribs are absolutely Amazing. They have to be ranked with the best in Ohio, etc. I have no doubt that other food selections are just as good.However, on Sunday's the barmaid on the early shift doesn't treat everyone with the same or great customer service. Therefore, I've decided to wait until later on Sunday - as the customer service by barmaid, Annabelle is simply awesome.Moreover, this is a wonderful little neighborhood bar and grill to have great food and hang out with friends and family in a really chilled atmosphere.“

“This is a nice local bar for the neighborhood locals to hang out and grab a beer and chat. It's not a super fancy place, but it is clean and the staff is friendly with good drink specials and overall pricing. Location us safe and there is plenty if parking in the lot. This location is part of a shopping center complex and there are other people in the area making it more open and safe I think. I recommend it and will return. FYI- they have mule drinks that are pretty darn good!“
