About Academy Tavern

Academy Tavern is a classic local bar with a charming atmosphere, featuring live jazz music on Mondays and a DJ on Saturdays. The bartenders are very nice, and the food is decent, with popular options like grilled cheese with bacon, garlic Parm fries, and wings that many consider the best in Cleveland. The patio offers additional seating and a dart board, making it a cozy spot to relax. Drinks are strong and reasonably priced, and the bathrooms are clean.

The establishment has a community vibe that feels like "Cheers," where everyone knows your name. The service is top-tier, with personable and attentive staff, including owners Jessica and Chris, who ensure a welcoming environment. The menu caters to various preferences, and many enjoy the burgers, fries, and sweet potato fries. Academy Tavern is a true gem, with a diverse and historical atmosphere that keeps customers coming back multiple times a week. Parking is available on the street and in a small lot across the street from the establishment.

Owner and his wife are not polite and welcoming....went with a group of my people and we are sitting and laughing at the table and they said we we're too loud...wtf....we're spending money and sitting there trying to enjoy ourselves....dead atmosphere...need a DJ to make atmosphere better...and drinks are too high

This place has a convicted pedophile preparing the food their patrons eat. And they know about it. So if you’re comfortable having the hands of a sick child molester touching your food, this place is for you

When I mention Academy Tavern I mention “Cheers,” where every one knows your name. The establishment provides great food, great pricing, personable and timely bar staff, and conversation with anyone and everyone. Owner, Jessica’s smile and giggles are heart warming, and Owner Chris makes sure every woman is walked to her car by a man in the restaurant if not himself. If this isn’t community, I don’t know what is.
