“In the dimly lit heart of Cleveland Heights, there exists a sanctuary for the night's most zealous seekers, The Tavern Company. This isn't your garden-variety watering hole; it's a haven where the spirits flow as freely as the conversations, and the air vibrates with the potential for madness. Tuesday nights transform this joint into a coliseum of intellect, where trivia becomes the gladiatorial sport of choice. Teams huddle, whispering strategies over pints, their eyes alight with competitive fire. Here, amidst the clink of glasses and the triumphant shouts of victors, lies the essence of what it means to truly engage with the pulse of the city. The Tavern Company doesn't just serve drinks; it brews a potent mixture of camaraderie, challenge, and sheer, unadulterated joy.“
“I was traveling through the area and am very fortunate to have found this jewel! The atmosphere was welcoming and the food was absolutely fantastic!! I started with fried pickles, which were crunchy and simply delightful. Our entrees were incredible. It was obvious that the food was prepared fresh from high quality ingredients, and I want to come back again and again!!!!!“
“The Rowley Inn is a genuine dive with panache. The Rowley Inn has been long standing next to a Christmas Story House and Museum, so it has its fair share of foot traffic for being tucked away as it is. The food is epically phenomenal, with dishes native to cleveland that can only be found here due to other closers since 2020. Don't forget to pair it with a locally brewed cold draught.Parking: Parking is along the street as it's tucked away in a neighborhood.Wheelchair accessibility: There is no wheel chair accessibility“
“We were looking for something close to home saw this restaurant the food was delicious, the kimchi macaroni salad is spicy but good if you enjoy spicy. Burgers and Fries were deliciousParking: Just past the restaurant on the same side is a free parking lot.Kid-friendliness: I saw online they have a kid menu,“
“Inn Cahoots is a wonderful place with great food, amazing staff, and comfortable environment. I come there often with my dad and it is always a wonderful time. The staff is very friendly and kind and treat customers with respect and care. Great. place!“
“Great food, friendly bartenders and the beautiful fireplace naturally becomes a great place to chat while you enjoy a terrific drink. Bartenders can make anything!! I was totally impressed by their knowledge and they provided great drink recommendations to a few guests in my party and their recommendations were very appealing to the eyes! Pretty drinks that were delicious were very appreciated by all of my female friends. Great vibes. Chill spot. I recommend.“
“This was my first visit to Kessler's, and surely won't be my last! The menu is limited, but the food was incredible. I had the Patty Melt special and it was exceptional.The service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable.The two man band was a nice addition. Great Music!“
“As much as I like going out to new, hyped hotspots, I also love cozy, relaxed & casual dive bar vibes. Hoopples definitely hits the mark. Warm, friendly atmosphere, personable staff, solid drink selection, a simple menu with classic feel-good comfort food, darts & machine bowling, and local decor honoring Cleveland sports, motorcycle culture, and other local interests. Street parking is available. The establishment is also much bigger inside than it looks from the outside, with a good amount of seating inside and out on the patio. Hoopples has a mix of the after-work crowd winding down after a long day, locals having a good time to eat, drink, enjoy each other's company, and watch a sports game. I came on a weekday night, and while it was buzzing with energy, it wasn't too crowded, which was nice. Overall, if you're looking to have a casual, super laidback hangout spot, I would definitely recommend Hoopples!“
“So... THIS is where I'll be getting my oxtails when I'm too lazy to make them! They were excellent. I got the oxtail dinner, a beef patty, and a side of plantains. The portions were impressive, and everything was seasoned perfectly. The beef patty was basically the same beef patty you'd get everywhere else, but that's okay because they're always good. But, back to the oxtails... soooooo tender and meaty with the perfect amount of gravy! I was happy enough to have a great, well-made meal, but the spinners knocked me off my feet! I've had Jamaican oxtails from here to California, but no one's ever added spinners to my meal! If you don't know, they're yummy, dense, cylindrical dumplings. They made me SO happy! She's putting out quality food with such love and care. These are the types of chefs and restaurants that we need to support.“
“Mabel’s BBQ is the creation of Iron Chef Michael Symon who happens to be a Cleveland native. It’s a cute little restaurant that offers a straight forward menu of smoked meats and accompaniments. His smoked meats are original tasting, exclusive to Symon with a unique flavor!The beef brisket (fatty or lean) fatty option was decadent and melted in our mouths! The turkey breast had a subdued flavor but with a little bbq sauce it was good. At least he offers this for people who are on restricted diets!Pickles, German style slaw, hot peppers and fresh baked traditional rye slices were perfectly matched. The side order of broccoli slaw was a good way for us to cleanse our palettes between using the Aardvark sauce and the Cleveland sauces on our meats. We liked that they served everything family style which is an option vs separate trays.The Apple pie they offer is from the top local bakery and was excellent with a cobbler style top. We asked for ala mode and that ice cream was top drawer too. One of the best we’ve had!Iron Chef Michael Symon did the research, homework and created a masterpiece of a restaurant! We really enjoyed our meal and will return. Next time we are each ordering a 1/2 pound of fatty and a 1/2 pound of lean brisket vs only the 1/2 pound! It’s that good! Turkey could have had a little more smoked flavor so I’ll pass on that.Mary our server was very attentive. We were in the outdoor dining area which was enjoyable and fun watching people go by.“
“Phenomenal fish fry...and don't need to experience it just during Lent! The grouper sandwich and batter dipped filet is available all the time. And with tater tots and slaw, it doesn't get much better! Hoppin' busy Friday night.“
“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.“
“Recently moved to this side of town and it was late and wanted some food. Ordered a Philly and 10 wings. Wings were excellent perfect cook time. I brought it home and didn’t eat the Philly right away when I did the bread wasn’t soggy at all meat was seasoned, had no complaints. Will definitely be getting food from here again.“
“I miss Benny's... But Lucky's got me emotional it felt like I was back home in ?? only thing missing was the playa/ Beach and the heat the food was delicious we got the buffalo wrap ,messy fries,wings, potato skins... Then the bathroom smells pretty and it's kept clean even the security ppl are nice and I love they have themed nights also that all DRINKS are 50% ALL DAY...“
“I really don't want to leave a five star review for Skinnys, why you ask, because I don't want everyone else coming in to ruin what is likely one of the best places to get a frosty mug and a decent burger with great people. so yeah don't come here. I don't want you to ruin a good thing! lol“
“Amazing prices. Food is great. Bartenders are fairly attentive. They definitely cater more to the regulars which is understandable. It's just off putting when someone rolls their eyes when you try to get their attention for a drink and then proceeds to take shots with the customers. Other than the one night, every other experience here has been phenomenal. I highly recommend anyone wanting a quick easy dinner to stop in.“
“My twin planned our 50th birthday gathering here. Everything about it was above 5 ⭐️ The food was consumed so quickly because it was soooo good!! ? Promise whenever I’m in Cleveland I need to stop and eat. The music, the bar ladies/ servers are the absolute BEST. You can enjoy the DJ and still have a conversation with friends or your date!!! Real good grown vibes! We stayed after to watch the game because the Vibe was everything and the tvs were easy to see everywhere!!!“
“A great little bar, not a dive at all, with pretty damn good food.Has a really nice bar/patio setup, with an enclosure for the winter that is heated.Karaoke on Thursdays, seasonal lent specials on weds/fridays, and fall clam bakes.John, the owner is a laid back, nice guy, the bartenders are all attentive and polite. A big shout out to Erika and Tina- two phenomenal bartenders.The crowd is very blue collar, the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. Pretty much anyone will talk about anything.Overall, this is pretty much the ideal bar- whether you’re just looking for a bite to eat, a beer to sip or wanna blow off steam and have a session.Don’t act the fool, and you’ll have a great time!“
“Good vibes speak for itself. The drinks are great, the music , overall environment is a vibe. Adults, no kids, close to freeway .. my favorite is catfish nuggets.. service is bomb. Ask foe Ms Dee. Hostess with the most.. lights in your drinks with a “
“I called to place an order, and you have to pay then. I was given an estimated time for pickup. It was a few minutes later, which was fine considering they'd the game on. The food was hot and fresh. The fish was the best I've had in Cleveland for awhile.Parking: They have a parking lot and are located on the corner with a lot of street parking available.“
“Ordered the “big guy”. They are known for 4th best burger in town. Well…. I’m thinking how, the 1/3 patty was not seasoned, special sauce was not as tangy and left the burger pretty plain.Thumbs up on the fresh cut fries, add malt vinegar and they pop with flavor. Would recommend as they are a dive in bar and have a great selection of spirits.“
“Best spot in Cleveland, hands down.My friends and I were in town to visit Ray's Bike Park and we stayed in Ohio City. B and G Tavern became our "go to" for every night after riding. Relaxed place with good choices in music and plenty of pool tables! The owners are amazing and super friendly! They get into the party spirit all while maintaining professional control over their establishment. Cheap drinks, good vibes, and the best citrus pepper wings I've ever had!Can't wait to visit again in February of 2024!“
“Stopped by for a Taco pop up with Puentes Tacos and enjoyed some drinks on Gino's beautiful patio. Seating was limited but they will be in full swing when the weather gets better. Bartenders were quick and friendly.Features: Huge beautiful patio with outside bar ?“
“The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of screens, so no matter the seat you choose, you'll have a nice view.The food was fresh, cooked to order, and well prepared.The Buffalo Quesadilla was delicious. It was one of the best and most well priced that I've had in a long time.The bone-in wings with the Caribbean Garlic dry rub was fantastic. I'm usually not a huge fan of a dry rub, but on the strength of this rub alone, I'll be back a lot sooner than anticipated. Great job!“
“I love this place. I love this place so much. The food is homemade, and tastes every bit like you had grandma at home making it for you while Columbo plays in the living room. The drinks are good. Bartenders and staff are always friendly. They have pool, which is a huge huge huge thing for me. I'm not the best, but I love to play some pool and listen to the Jukebox. It's truly a nice little gem!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Solid place for beer and cider, friendly and quick staff also. Limited seating but if you find a spot it's a great place to watch the Browns game! Tons of TVs and not to rowdy. The food here is typical American and good for beer. Parking is tricky because you have to pay unless you find free street parking.“
“Jukebox is HANDS DOWN the absolute best bar in Cleveland. I’m here a couple times of week and the food is delectable and the drinks are spectacular. However, what separates jukebox from all other bars is their dedication to hospitality. Everyone who works there is a joy and a pleasure to be around. Love you guys < 3“
“Only been here to get take out wings. Garlic parm is great, do not love the bbq sauce but the wings are really good. The onion strings were pretty good too.Typical bar atmosphere inside which is fine if that's what you're into. Employees were friendly and I got my order even faster than they said over the phone.“
“One of a few places I don’t mind spending hundreds on dinner! Very fancy & professional the pasta is out of this world and so are the appetizers. Our waiter was very kind helped us decide what to get! His recommendation we’re on point. I enjoyed this place very much. Will definitely be back soon.“
“Bar 23 is a nice place with friendly people. The owner had recently a lot of work into it with a full kitchen, and nice bathrooms. The kitchen is not ready yet, and I can't wait until it is. I'm sure the menu will be good, and prepared well.“
“I live a quarter mile down the street. I have not tried this place since they opened until tonight. I know what I've been missing now! I got the wings and they were phenomenal. The owner is a great lady and they had an awesome jam band in there tonight that was great. Will be back for sure.“
“Got to send a shout out to Gen's 176 and their food! The food execution is surprisingly exceptional. Good ole home cooking. Much is made from scratch. Great hand-pressed burgers and daily specials! Their homemade perogies might be the best in town which is saying something in Cleveland!“
“This has turned into My new Wednesday night spot! I normally don’t come out on weekdays, but MIA, Q & Joey are Great Bartenders! Very Personable, Friendly and make You feel at Home! Surprisingly the Food is Good, they have a Great Menu, and the Bonus is every time I there, Mia is cleaning everywhere like She lives there! The place is nice, I highly recommend!“
“My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the warmth and friendliness of this local bar and grill. We stopped in midday for a quick bite and Maria the hostess, bartender, waitress, chief cook and bottle washer, welcomed us like long lost family. My wife and I shared a fish dinner which was served hot right from the fryer and the French fries were hand cut. The menu is limited, but Maria ran through their daily specials for the week and shared that she prepared a lot of the items from scratch. We were even gifted a large cabbage from regular customer who brought it in to see if it might be needed on the grill for St. Patty’s Day. We will be back to try out the specials.“
“We went to The Haunted House Restaurant and found this place right around the corner. The bartender Melissa was amazing and super friendly. She made us feel welcome and was an absolute blast. Good place to stop in and have a drink at a local place.“
