“Mike is the BEST!!! One of the best places I’ve been to eat - travelled here from Dayton for family members surgery at Cleveland Clinic …. This was a phenomenal surprise!“

“Burgers are the BEST here and I rarely eat red meat but can’t resist their burgers! 🍔🩷“

“Amazing venue for local music scene!“

“We work 2-3 days a week in Euclid Ohio area. We love the food and love the staff. Great place to eat. Highly recommend Mmuldoon’s“

“Stopped at Wings for the 1st was served by Micki she was very pleasant with a great atitude made me feel welcome I enjoyed the food and drinks. Will definitely return.“

“Excellent bbq, cool atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff. Only complaint is I couldve used a bigger table to add some more food! Lol. Will definitely be back!“

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

“Bartender/Server, although she was extremely busy at lunch, she was personable,kind and always smiling. Everything we ordered was perfect. Burgers are best in town. Salad fresh and yummy dressing and tuna melt was so delicious. Quality and prices are excellent. A must in Cleveland“

“Best bar in the city while sitting at the bar!“

“Delicious food and a variety of dinners on Fridays. Great prices on food and drinks. Love their salads and potato pancakes. O’Cevapi is another favorite and the steaks are out of this world. Great pork dishes as well and never dry with plenty of flavor. Drinks are simple, but a great price.“

“My husband and I stopped into Stevenson's bar this afternoon to check out their Christmas theme. All I can say is, wow! not only did the place look great but, the service was awesome and the food was really good. Karen, the women working the bar was an absolute sweetheart. She was very warm and welcoming. Karen whipped us up some really tasty holiday drinks. We highly recommend the Tipsy Santa.“

“Myself and family tried the pizza and wings for the first time very delicious! highly recommend and the staff are friendly and helpful!“

“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...“

“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.“

“I had a great time family 🥃🍸🍹🍷 Very laid back. Friendly staff it’s the best“

“We were there Saturday April 5, 2025 for a luncheon after a memorial service. The presentation and food was fabulous!!!!! The homemade lasagna by Jackie was delicious and all the other selections could not have been by better. So much wonderful food and everyone was so helpful. Great job Jason and staff. This place is a 10++++!!!!! Linda“

“If you want a wide selection of beers that are all over the map this is the place for you. I've been here twice and both times I've found some crazy brews that were off the beaten track. I like the vibe but my girlfriend thought it was divey and smelled like piss so maybe leave your woman at home! “

“I have never not had a great experience here! The best burger around, hands down and their fresh-cut fries are to die for! Today, I had my husband pick me up their classic burger with provolone cheese and it was still just as super warm when he brought it to me at work as if I were to have eaten it there! The staff is always super friendly and pleasant whether dining in or placing an order over the phone! HIGHLY recommend!!!“

“Bartender Veronica was on it had everyone drinking in this spot and kept a beautiful smile on her face all night long! Out of towners take it from me this is a hot spot!“

“This place is great, some of my friends and I went here a couple weeks back and we loved it.The drinks were good and reasonably priced, and the service was extremely attentive. One of the bartenders even made our friend who was the driver a mocktail for free!I would definitely be back!“

“their biker weekend and their food nice part of town“

“Awesome drinks as well. Support local“

“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!“

“So, long story short, don't expect any kind of service from the bartender if you come on a Saturday evening. I started not to say anything but after a lot of thought I felt like this needs to be said. My wife and I have visited this place on several occasions usually during the week and had great service from Maggie. However this past Saturday was a complete disaster. We came in to have a burger and beer and after arriving and sitting at a table in the bar area we waited.......and waited ........ and waited. Finally after sitting and watching the bartender who we later learned was Kate socializing with what appears to be her friends for almost 15 minutes we finally flagged a guy walking by asking him if there was a waitress for this area. He stopped immediately and apologized asking what we wanted to drink and then proceeded to go behind the bar and grab our drinks himself. Coming back he apologized and asked if we wanted something to eat and took our order. Our food was later brought out by someone else and the whole time the bartender continued to socialize with the two or three people at the bar that appeared to be friends. Only after our food was brought out did she finally decide to tear herself away from her social group and grace her with her presence, and even this interaction seemed to be a bother to her. Guess I made a long story longer. Point is the bartender Kate is ok if you're in her social group. If you're not forget about getting any kind of service from her.“

“We love Spotted Dog food. Always had great service. Tonight the ball was dropped. Took 20 mins to be acknowledge to get a drink(maybe 8 at the bar). Never mind the big sigh and eye roll as we sat down AND still wasn't told Hi. 1 hour for food. okay Its a Friday night we understand. Our fries were soggy a cold. chicken tenders cold. wings cold. It def was sitting up there waiting a while to be brought out. We said something she said it was our fault for going outside for 5 mins. We know the difference between food sitting for awhile before being served. Extremely disappointed. We will be back but maybe when someone else is working.“

“I’ve been going to Gino’s forever I like the place“

“I’ve been thinking about his cheeseburger/fries since I had it months ago. Finally got back to have it.“

“You have to get you some egg rolls from kennys they are delicious homemade I just ordered 12 and they did not last long will be back for more might have to get 24 next time thanks again kennys tavern“

“Visited Gen's 176 for the first time this evening. It may not look like much from the outside but the place is clean and the food is really good. They have a nice size menu with a variety of choices. The pierogi are large and filled with potato and cheese (they also have other varieties). My companion had a mushroom burger. It was a 1/2 pound with lots of toppings and the tots that came with were hot and tasty. I had a veggie quesadilla full of cheese, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes (I passed on the black olives). Service was excellent! In all, it was a great, affordable meal. We will be back!“

“Great atmosphere! Friendly. Awesome fresh food.“

“Worst service I’ve ever had at a bar“

“Met friends at the Clevelander prior to the Cleveland Guardians game and had a great time! Food was really good and the service was fast an friendly. Definitely recommend!!“

“I came here on St Patty's Day. The corned beef was phenomenal. You had to order at the bar however. No waiters. They had specialty drinks and jello shots. I only drink 2 to 3 times a year and i did it here. Great time. Bathroom is creepy though. 2 pissers right next to each other and the sink with no deviders. So you best be packing or everyone gonna know you're tiny. That's what happened to me anyway.“

“Please you really should stop up good atmosphere free pool on Sunday nights 6 PM to closed you enjoy company they don't start trouble up there as long as you don't start there will be no problem it's on West 130th in Cleveland between Belair Road and Brookpark Road hope to see you there sometime“

“Alfredo is number one in Cleveland, there's better security and a more mature crowd, no Riff Raff, and the kitchen is off the chain, happy hour is a great time to get in and get out, with a bargain, stop by if you have a chance....

Vegetarian options: Just let it be know to cook in a pan whatever it is you like when it comes to vegetables, they will make a way

Parking: Plenty space and safe....

Wheelchair accessibility: Yea there is back door service for wheelchair“

“I ordered a rib dinner with yams and spaghetti. The serving size was pleasing. The food was hot and delicious The price of the dinner was fair. The customer service was nice and I didn't have to wait long. My only complaint where is my bread.“

“We were visiting Cleveland from Detroit for the weekend for my nephew's birthday and we came in on Sunday 4/13 our server was Tia and we LOVED her! She did an amazing job from beginning to end. I had the Cajun omelette and bottomless mimosas (The Brunch Package) The food was delicious and everything was worth the price. If you are thinking about going, GO! Great food, great service, great vibes.“
