50 Best Sports Bars near Berea

“A small group of us were visiting the area to see family and we came in here on a Friday evening for just drinks before having dinner elsewhere. The first person we saw greeted us with a smile, we think it was Mike. They were totally packed and it was only 5PM! But he and the bartender who took care of us let us take the last 2 seats at the bar while two of us stood nearby. They have lots of great cocktails and beer to choose from, as well as the typicals beverages. They have an amazingly appetizing menu too! Watching the food come out made us wish we were having dinner there as the food looked and smelled amazing!

Overall, the service was excellent and so were the prices. They treated us like family and were very engaging and friendly. Highly recommend stopping in here!!“

“The patio is pet friendly and great food. The staff is always kind.“

“Food was delicious and they're super attentive. My entire family had a lunch buffet set up for after a funeral. At least 150 people were accommodated and well looked after. Their outside patio and half out bar were both so nice and spacious as well. Will definitely be coming back on some date nights!“

“Good EVERYTHING Crafts always at a great price & all varieties that change on a weekly rotation. Food always top notch with specials throughout the week. Smoked brisket one of their best dishes. Get up there before they sellout when you see it on the menu“

“We had a great time, good service and good food! Our kids didn't like the chicken nuggets bc they were sweet but their kids and goofy 😹 the cocktails were great! Fun atmosphere. Also family friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to see a diaper change area that had wipes and diapers. There were also menstrual products. It was such a thoughtful touch!“

“Effortlessly trendy but unpretentious bar to chill and grab a drink at after work. Great variety of self serve drinks, I was impressed w the NA options like kombucha and cold brew. Friendly regulars, employees, and owner make you feel at home immediately! We go for trivia and darts league every Tuesday/Thursday but I'm most impressed with the quality of their Secret Society Comedy night w/ no cover. This place is a Lakewood hidden gem!

Parking: Always street parking in front and large parking lot behind with open back door“

“Ate at The Third Place while visiting my mom during Thanksgiving. Had the Sunday special, the Meatball Casserole. It was delicious with lots of cheese and sauce to dip the garlic bread in. Also had a side salad. I recommend spending the extra $2.50 and getting the salad topped with fresh mozzarella. Yum! I wish I remembered the servers name. It began with a J. She did a good job and was friendly.“

“Place is fun, great food and great prices. We love it!!!!!“

“Great spot for food, watching games and hanging out with friends. Best wings with homemade sauces!!!“

“Burger, fish sandwich, salad, broccolini, and tots all shared with my wife tonight while seated at the bar. Special shout out to our barman Ray, who we're getting to know here. He's as affable and attentive as any in Rocky River. Cheers!“

“The food was good but our drinks took longer to get than our food. Cool“

“We travelled to Cleveland for soccer weekend and were looking for something to do with 20 teen boys! This place hit the mark! They had trays of food waiting on our arrival and the boys had a blast playing shuffleboard. Highly recommend.“

“Came up with my hubs and grown son. Shot some darts, had some appetizers and watched the baseball and Ohio state games. Lots of sports on the TVs and our server, Zariah was so sweet and attentive. Food was very good. Sandwich burger and wrap hit the spot.“

“Good food great service. Friendly Had rough day and felt at home“

“I had a wonderful time!! Our waitress Codi was truly a amazing person! She made me feel very comfortable and welcomed! The overall experience was friendly!! She was very attentive, checked on us at right times and made me (and my new husband) at home!!! Thank you!!“

“This was the second time my husband and I were here. Definitely a go back spot. There’s a bit of everything for everyone“

“12/30/24 ask for Joey,, ribs available and done right this time appetizers hot and fresh. Thankful this location us open real late unlike others stuck in covid times.. Third visit for the ribs ran out again. Spoke to the manager offered free ribs next Sunday and pork chop dinner on the house. Hopefully they will never run out again.“

“I was invited to a music gig on a Sunday several weeks ago and have stopped several times since. It's a great place and bike riding distance from my home. Each time I've met new friends and owner and bar are authentice and unique! The music presented is such a gift.“

“Characters was one of those places that make you want to take a special trip to go back. I'm from Detroit and I will absolutely return when in the Cleveland area. The food was incredible.

I ordered the wings and a polish taco, being that it was Tuesday. While they were both good, the polish taco was one of the best things I've ever eaten. It had kielbasa, grilled onion, sour cream, sauerkraut, potato filling, on a pierogi bun. The kielbasa was phenomenal. It just seemed to have layers of flavor. The pierogi bun was very interesting too. I'd never tried one but it tasted great as well. It's unfortunate that they only have that polish taco on Tuesdays.

The wings, while not the greatest I've ever tried, had some very unique sauces to offer on the side. I had the suicide sauce and the raspberry BBQ sauce along with ranch and they were quite good. The wings were nice and crispy as well

The atmosphere is a typical bar setting; bar on the left and seating on the right, that's pretty spacious. There is also a patio outside to chill and hang out at.

The waitress was very friendly as well.

Overall, the food was great; particularly, the polish taco.“

“Your average local sports bar/pub with like minded food. The food was good, but we waited forever to get it so we got cold grub. Sat outside because it was a nice night, but the service was non existent, and unfortunately there were two guys smoking cigars near us that nobody seemed to want to do anything about, lol...“

“The Seafood burrito is very good and a great deal but if you are a dip fan DO NOT buy them here!!!! We ordered a “regular size” queso and guacamole and it’s a joke. It’s a very small container of a pitiful amount. Queso is $4.99 and guacamole is $5.75 Do better!! I can go to other Mexican food restaurants in Brunswick and get 2-3 times the amount for the same price. I can get the same size of guac at chipotle for $2.75!“

“good food and Great Service“

“The food is fantastic and the service is great 😊“

“The bartender Carrie was amazing and attentive. The suncruisers were ice cold! My service in training dog Norman was welcomed. It was a fun girls afternoon for happy hour! It’s clean and air conditioner is running good in the heat! People are playing pool and it’s fun atmosphere and there’s picnic tables outside if you would like to sit outside“

“got the 8oz ribeye, medium rare. terrible. not possible to make it medium rare when it was thinner than my plate. wish I could add the photo I shared to my friends.“

“😀Great service, good food, nice atmosphere. Everyoe treats yo ulike old friends.“

“Every single time I come in here I have an awesome time. The food is usually amazing. Especially their pizza. You can never go wrong with their fresh cut fries either!! My bartender tonight was Carrie and she was a delight. She was helpful, delivered fast service, and was very attentive. 10/10 thank you pitstop for another great night!“

“Best spot in Lakewood!!! If you're looking for a cool sports bar, you need to get to Game On in Lakewood , OH like yesterday!!! It's got a fun vibe, lots of TVs for watching games - no matter where you’re at inside the bar you’ll always have viewing access to a tv!!! Very tasty & a variety of food! Perfect for hanging out with friends and catching a game! Don’t have a sitter for your little or furry ones?… Not a problem!!! They’re always welcome at Game On!“

“Great food, great service“

“I have been a customer for six years. this is a family owned and operated bar. It is comfortable, spacious, with excellent customer service.“

“Great food. Especially the Flatbread ck Philly was amazing. Great service also and good prices.“

“This is one of my favorite local spots! Great bartenders, great food, but most of all the best manager around!! Go there and you won’t be disappointed and ask for Ruairi“

“If you're looking for a chill dive bar type establishment this is it! All of the staff have been great, with every bartender being super laid back and easy to talk to. The food has never served me wrong, and their weekday specials are things you can't miss out on. The only time they've ever let me down was when their power was out (at no fault of their own) and weren't open and I was forced to go elsewhere.“

“Best place in Brunswick!!“

“This is THE BEST BBQ I have ever had! we just tried it because they were on Uber Eats and I don't think I'll ever get another BBQ anywhere. No sauce needed, quality, fall off the bone meats, delicious sides. Don't miss out. Order today!“

“The ball boy Owen Reese was a delight to me must see him again ;)“

“Friendly staff- extremely lovely people work there. Been attending this pub on and off for many years whenever I'm in town and I am never disappointed. Nice, low-key, laid-back atmosphere (in a GOOD way), digital jukebox (us lazy tipsy people can play songs right from our phones if we so wish- plus, who carries cash anymore?), decent variety of beers on tap and did I say the staff rules? They're great. It's my go-to spot whenever I'm in town.“

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

“Back, better than ever!!! New floor, new paint..looks great �“

“Awesome food and awesome service“

“While visiting from Dayton, we needed a place to watch a Bengals' game so we took a chance. We made a great decision!! The 3 choice appetizer, boneless hot garlic wings, chili, and staff service was all better than expected. If we are ever in Strongsville again, we'll definitely be heading to Johnny J's!!!“

“If only I live closer when I come in the Cleveland next time, I’ll plan on stopping by. I’ve heard nothing but good things about this place. It’s really awesome.“

“HUGE thank you to Miranda and the staff at Slim & Chubby’s for having my family this past Saturday night!! Our bartender Miranda was super attentive and kind to us all night and helped make the night so special. We have planned 2 parties here in the last few years and both have been huge successes. Highly recommend Slim & Chubby’s for large events or a casual night out!! Thank you for everything!!“

“Great food and drinks! And everyone is very friendly!“

“We had our team dinner at Winking Lizard. We walked in with a group of 40 people. Our wait time for tables was less than 20 minutes. The two servers we had were awesome. The food came out hot and pretty quick. Shout out to the manager working today, she was on it!“

“All you can eat fries with your meal the first order was hot and fresh.
The second order took forever to arrive at our table and when they did finally arrive they were cold as ice.
This could be because our server was distracted constantly by talking to her coworkers they were all just standing around either talking amongst themselves or playing on their cellphones.“

“Ryan is AMAZING! he makes the best drinks and is always here and always working so hard. I'm always so happy when he's our bartender :)He works bar and kitchen which is super impressive. Get his food and drinks. You won't be “

“Love this place. Def recommend going here for a quick bite or for the energy. Owners are amazing as well as the entire staff ! 🙂“

“Quiet little suburb dive bar thats been around for years and definitely shows. Large beverage selection with friendly bartenders and staff. Summertime this place really picks up with its sand volleyball courts and outside bar/patio. Great spot for fundraisers or events due to it large dining space and stage area. Killer Karaoke crowd on the weekends shows off some serious local talent. Stop by and enjoy a cold one.

Vegetarian options: Two words: French Fries

Parking: Plenty of parking especially after 6pm

Kid-friendliness: Kids can play on volleyball court and eat chicken tendies.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor joint with several entrances/exits. No stairs in sight.“

“Great food and great service! One of the best tacos I’ve had in Cleveland. Nikki is an awesome bartender! Would recommend to anyone in the area. Awesome happy hour!“
