“ABC Tavern is awesome, Im a huge fan and often end up there for a late night snack. Their fries are, in my opinion, perfect. Exactly what you want in a fry. Their food i reasonably priced and well portioned. I always leave satisfied. The specials are interesting and usually very good too.

The service is always good, the bartenders are great, attentive, and take care of you. I have literally never asked for a refill on a water, they fill it multiple times before its empty. Which is one of my criteria for how good service is.

The vibes are also great. They play good music. Love the dollar bill wall behind the bar lol. And the types of people who go to town hall generally arent here, which is a big feature. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great prices on food and drinks. Nice people. They have karaoke too. Update 9-20-25. Didn't like potato skins. Liquid nacho cheese is used. Buffalo sauce was sweet. Didn't like the butter dauce either. Last food order T-TH is 6:45pm. Fri & Sat 1:45 am. No kitchen Mondays & Sundays, unless it's a Browns game.“

“A must-visit in Cleveland, OH! 🎃 This Halloween-themed restaurant is packed with incredible décor and delicious food. The Western Burger was perfectly balanced with crispy fried onion rings, and my partner said the BLT was one of the best they’ve ever had. Service was a bit inconsistent—one staff member overlooked us, but another was attentive and kept our beers full. Overall, a memorable stop worth checking out!“

“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.“

“I had never been to Black Forest before - no reason, just hadn't. But when they placed 3rd in the Best Burger contest last week, I had to check it out. Met the mighty Francis McGarry for a sales meeting and dinner. They were NOT lying about the burger - FANtastic. Staff were friendly and the owner stopped by and chatted. Bingo in the next room had the place packed, but it wasn't loud - they just sounded like they were having a blast. I Highly Recommend Black Forest for great food, and great people. Definitely 5 stars🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖“

“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.“

If your not from the area, be careful pulling out. I didn't notice the sign and turned the wrong way. Cop was very nice and gave me a warning, but pay attention. My fault for not. .. Just glad I was the designated driver.“
