“Really cool atmosphere and vibes!!
Service was okay - not unfriendly but not overly helpful. Coffee was great! Croissants with pistachio butter were THE BEST, would go back for this again and again. Other food was very small portions for the price.“

“Awesome place!!! We had a large group (25+) and Skylar took great care of us. The food and beverage was great but Skylar made the difference! She gave us better service than you would normally get as a couple at other places. Go there!! And ask to sit in Skylar’s section!!“

“Had the pleasure of dining here tonight. Everything from our server Shannon to the food was outstanding!

To drink I had a Love Language, which Shannon recommended! It's made with their house cucumber vodka. It was very refreshing!

For dinner, chicken breast that wasn't dry, seasoned well and easily cut with a butter knife! Collards and Mac and cheese were good as well!

For dessert, we has a banana creme brulee. I'm very picky about creme brulee, but this was perfection!

Will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“I've just started going over the last month, and...The regulars have been amazing. Ive dealt with Michelle and Ivy, and they've both been beyond welcoming and awesome. Honestly...Its been nice to find an affordable, local bar, to just go into and not have to worry about anything negative ruining the mood. If the Daze sauce is as amazing as it was under the original owners, I have to assume nothing but the best for this itteration.“

“Had an awesome time after the Kathleen Madigan show last night! Fast service, cool people.“

“This is a great bar, went there for a show this past weekend.
It has a great atmosphere with great personnel on staff.
The main concert area is great, and the back room is very nice for hanging out away from the crowd, especially with the wood burning oven back there!“

“A dive bar with incredible food and a chill atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“great place to come to hang with good people and listen to some great much. they recently just reopened their kitchen and the food is actually good. they sometimes have a band which is amazing because who doesn’t want to hear any live music.“

“LORENZOOOOO! Very knowledgeable and has a great personality! Also, I love the set up. They did a great job remodeling Daniel's Furniture“

“I stopped in on Juneteenth to celebrate with some karaoke. I was the only white person in the place, but everybody made me feel comfortable and at home. Excellent chicken wings and a great sense of community. I'll definitely be back!“

“friendly staff good food great music“

“Great place!!! They have specials every day and we had 2 off the special menu: a caprese chicken sandwich on focaccia! Outstanding w pesto and tomato!!! My husband had a chicken southwest calzone that was huge and delicious! We have meals for 2 more dinners!“

“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 wings and also very nice staff“

“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.“

“absolutely great 👍, highly recommended“

“Good bar. Surprisingly good music! Decent drink selection. Good bartenders.“

“I stepped into Blue Agave for the first time, and the ambiance was instantly captivating. The aroma of the food was enticing, and the presentation was visually appealing. Our waiter, Matt, was an absolute delight. He not only served us drinks and made thoughtful suggestions but also exuded a warm and friendly demeanor throughout our visit. I highly recommend requesting Matt as your waiter if you ever find yourself at Blue Agave.“

“I don’t go out to bars much these days but decided to stick my head in on St. Paddy’s as I’ve driven by a bunch. Looks so low key and not at all obnoxious from the outside - no advertisements for various alcohol, just a good old Christmas Story lamp in the window. Inside, it’s a warm and friendly neighborhood pub that made me feel welcome. Full of Irish cheer on the big day, but I’m sure there is some of that year round. Prices for a pint were fair maybe even in the lower side. Some places regulars don’t really like new people coming in or are cool or suspicious towards them. Not here at all. I barely drink anymore but if I was going to have a goto neighborhood pub this would be it.“

“We found this gem today on our venture to Cleveland and we are very very happy we did! The food was absolutely fabulous! We shared the grilled octopus appetizer! So good it makes you do the eye roll and happy dance! My husband had the crab melt 🤤and I had the beef Lumpia!! We were so happy with our food and service! Fantastic and we will definitely be making the trip back!!“
