50 Best Bars in Cleveland

“Patron Saint is an exceptional choice for a relaxed Saturday brunch. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and vibrant, making it an inviting place to unwind and enjoy a leisurely meal.

The coffee is outstanding — rich, aromatic, and clearly crafted with care. It pairs perfectly with their croissant, which is nothing short of amazing: flaky, buttery, and freshly baked to perfection.

Friendly, attentive, and efficient, the staff ensure you feel welcomed and well cared for

Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their weekend with quality coffee, excellent food, and top-tier hospitality.“

“Terra is the best thing to happen to Terrestrial Brewing Co! Located inside the brewery, Terra brings in a more comfortable and cool atmosphere with a simple menu, good cocktails and great food at a reasonable price. Of course their craft beer is available as well. The Pimento cheese dip is a must try, and the chicken sandwich is done right. Dog friendly patio and also in the brewery side. Check the website to see their daily specials as well!“

“Best and most consistently fun dancey club I’ve found in Cleveland, and honestly competes well with bigger venues in bigger cities. They bring in a lott of killer djs, both local to Cleveland and from all over the world, and they host a variety of cool local events that aren’t just the house djs that initially brought me in. Very fun, pretty bisexual vibe. It’s not explicitly a queer club, but my pals and I think of it as a bi bar and love it for that. They’re doing something so right here… the energy every time I’ve been has just been so playful and fun, and I always meet great people here. I met one of my best friends dancing here a few years ago and am writing this review with heartfelt appreciation from Movement weekend with that friend in Detroit now. I love this place. Great service with sweet, caring staff who really set the tone for the place. They also have good non-alcoholic options. Thanks for keeping a water station near the bar, absolutely crucial harm reduction/safely measure that all bars should be required to have. Thanks for all the obvious love and care you put into making this spot so rad. I’m excited to dance here again soon 🕺🪩💖“

“tucker’s haves been around for a very long time. its a great place for people who loves to wear graham crackers colored steve harvey suits. weekends are great because they have karaoke and they do not sell food. the bar is cash only but it is a great place to be!

Parking: parking lot & street“

“friendly staff good food great music“

“Hey! Looking for a spot with fantastic food, a welcoming neighborhood vibe, and a staff that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit? Look no further than Pour Behavior! 🍻🍔 They're not just serving up delicious bites and drinks; they're also the place to be for awesome weekly events that keep things lively. Seriously, the crew here is top-notch – super friendly and always ready with a smile. If you're in the area, definitely check them out! You won't be disappointed.“

“Great people 🙂 Awesome bar tenders very clean bar.“

“Cheap drinks, karaoke a group of amazing friends? You can’t go wrong with this place. I feel like is a great option to start or end the night with friends. The bar can get loud so if you want a nice sit down place this may not be the spot as people loudly screaming karaoke cannot be avoided but it is entertaining! Highly recommend this dive bar if you want a space to share with friends and if you enjoy karaoke it’s perfect.“

“The place has great food. I love the pool room. Very modern. They were very busy on a Friday night. We had to wait a bit for our food but that's to be expected when the place is busy. Worth the wait. Those wings were the best I ever had. We found a new place to go in Parma.“

“Great local spot. Delicious food & drinks.“

“While out working, I stopped a patron walking with food. I was so hungry. He pointed to this place. I entered and ordered my food because he said the food is pretty good. I ordered Lemon Pepper wings, of course, are my favorite. They were SOOO GOOD! Everything was on point! Loved IT!“
