“As much as I like going out to new, hyped hotspots, I also love cozy, relaxed & casual dive bar vibes. Hoopples definitely hits the mark. Warm, friendly atmosphere, personable staff, solid drink selection, a simple menu with classic feel-good comfort food, darts & machine bowling, and local decor honoring Cleveland sports, motorcycle culture, and other local interests. Street parking is available. The establishment is also much bigger inside than it looks from the outside, with a good amount of seating inside and out on the patio. Hoopples has a mix of the after-work crowd winding down after a long day, locals having a good time to eat, drink, enjoy each other's company, and watch a sports game. I came on a weekday night, and while it was buzzing with energy, it wasn't too crowded, which was nice. Overall, if you're looking to have a casual, super laidback hangout spot, I would definitely recommend Hoopples!“
“Fun local place. Friendly people and bar tenders have always been excellent. Message to the owner. You have improved with your stereotyping (type of hat or the way it is worn). Realize that has nothing to do with the character of the person.“
“What a lovely little spot! I'm all about a good dive bar and we found the best one in Cleveland! Sherry & Simone were so welcoming, it felt like home. A pool table & curated jukebox were great additions and although we didn't eat (Sloppy Joes $4), I'm sure they were delicious. Inexpensive, charming & the visit left me with a huge smile on my face, knowing this was one of those special places.Can't say enough good things, just an all around great time. This place is a real as it gets. If you are in Cleveland, pay them a visit, tell em Patti from Philly sent you. ??“
“It was a nice surprise, hidden gem. We were driving by and decided to stop in. It was quiet when we arrived. Service was good and friendly. Then a 1/2 hour later it was packed for karaoke. Which turned out to be very entertaining. The crowd was friendly and fun. Looking forward to going back.“
“What a welcoming joint with a lovely atmosphere for a Monday evening. We brought a queer gathering here late a few Mondays ago to gather after a bike ride and it was such a charming and fun eve! The place is so cozy, with a really welcoming vibe, fun pool table, and amazing paintings.“
“Are you on the way to the airport and want to take the edge off? Stop here before you blow $100 at Sammy's airport bar! Keep that money for your vacation! Nice little out of the way dive bar with friendly locals. It is dog friendly! Just as long as your dog ain't angry!“
“Friendly place with a lot of regulars. The bartenders are great. Today it was Sarah. She's friendly and professional at the same time. The regular menu is predictable but good bar food. But always check out the specials for homemade soups and more. Today I had the special: breaded pork chop with home fries and mixed veggies which was great at 15$. Cozy place. Great juke box. Check the joint out.“
“We came in for Fish Fry. I love this bar. People are nice, our server was especially nice! The food was yummy. We got 5-star service so a 5-star is no brainer! Also, there is some sort of putt-putt in basement and one of the best patios. Prices are reasonable and honestly really good people run this place!“
“One of the oldest bars still open in Cleveland. Drinks are served up quickly and they have mini bowling and darts you can play.Parking: Parking is free depending on the day and time you go along with if there are any events. There is no actual parking lot designated for the bar.Wheelchair accessibility: Can accommodate“
“Great place to drink get with times thou get the card machine . Very friendly clean establishment. The staff is super friendly and they check the patrons coming in . Cash only bar ! Very nice pool tables , and decorative bar !!! Finger food which I can respect, such as Baron pizza . I would rather them do that then serve some BS!“
“Went there on St.Patrick's after doing a 5K race. Place was packed with many of the runners. Bar staff was prepared for us. Quick friendly service. The DJ played a good assortment of music. We did not ordered food so did not give a rating.“
“I had a friend that had her Death to 20’s 30th birthday party here! It was public up front and when you went to the back area, that was reserved for her party. I had no idea it was even back there (a lot of people also said that from the party)! Good atmosphere, great service, clean and tidy, she had her own private bar in the back and there was mini golf outside out back too. We parked on the street. It was definitely a great time!“
“We were looking for a new place to grab a drink mid week and ABC tavern didn't disappoint! Zach was exceptionally friendly and made the best martini I've had in a long time! The apps were good. We loved the pita chips - they were flavorful and warm! The hummus was just ok. The house made chips were pretty good and seasoned mildly. Slightly undercooked. The French onion dip was heavy on the sour cream and light on the onion mix. We were there for the drinks so we didn't mind that the food wasn't 5 stars. The bar was cozy and the other patrons were nice. It was quiet except for the music. Just what we needed to unwind from a stressful day!“
“Very limited parking at the venue but you can pretty quickly find street parking. This place is a bar/restaurant/music venue so a review of one aspect of the business may not reflect the other areas.I haven't used the bar enough to be able to comment.I have only been to the restaurant for brunch which has a good trendy selection of meals with average execution. I've always been annoyed because it's one of the only brunch spots that does their dishes with only one egg in a meal. Then they charge way too much to add a second egg. The bloody Mary menu is really good :)The music venue is great for its size. The stage is pretty high so it's easy to see the show from anywhere in the ballroom. The place is an old cultural club or ballroom of some variety and it has the nostalgic charm to go with it. They updated their sound system a couple years ago and it's a phenomenal sounding venue now.“
