30 Best Sports Bars in Cleveland

“If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I had never been before, but decided to host my husband's surprise birthday there before one of the Guardians games and the staff went above and beyond to help me arrange and set up exactly what I needed and they were very communicative and responsive. They were extremely attentive and helpful and the food was very prompt and absolutely delicious! They even offered to hold our cake and decorations until after the game. Very accommodating. The atmosphere was also perfect for any game day watching or gathering and there were so many beer options (pour your own so we could sample whatever we liked). I recommend this place 100 times over for anything from game watching, party hosting or just hanging out!“

“We had a great time, good service and good food! Our kids didn't like the chicken nuggets bc they were sweet but their kids and goofy 😹 the cocktails were great! Fun atmosphere. Also family friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to see a diaper change area that had wipes and diapers. There were also menstrual products. It was such a thoughtful touch!“

“Ate at The Third Place while visiting my mom during Thanksgiving. Had the Sunday special, the Meatball Casserole. It was delicious with lots of cheese and sauce to dip the garlic bread in. Also had a side salad. I recommend spending the extra $2.50 and getting the salad topped with fresh mozzarella. Yum! I wish I remembered the servers name. It began with a J. She did a good job and was friendly.“

“Will is the MAN! So observant of the entire bar. Always ready to get you a refill or there when you need something. One of the most personable bartenders I’ve ever had. If you go to this bar, PRAY that Will is working and your bartender!!!“

“drove 3.5 hr from dayton for the food i can honestly say ill be back food was delicious true boricua food. vibe was nice good music and place was super clean. 👌 👍 gracias see ya soon“

“Enjoyed being with friends“

“If you’re looking for a place to have some good easy food & great drinks, Foxes is where to go! Charlie is a WONDERFUL bartender, had us cracking up & provided the best service. He was very attentive to all of the guests, & the cook in the back (so sorry I forgot his name) was quick & made great food! They seemed to work well as a team, which as a former bartender really shows me how positive the environment is! Definitely going to be my regular “going out” spot for sure :)“

“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.“

“A party late night after the game! We were out looking for food and celebration after the Browns Thursday night game. The service was good and people friendly. Typical late night bar food options, but seasoned well and served the purpose. I would return if I'm looking for a late night snack.“

It’s one of those places you can count on every time—good food, friendly staff, and an overall great experience. We’re there regularly and will definitely keep coming back!“

“My son and I went there for dinner he had lamb chops that he said was fire and my Mississippi catfish was amazing. We both had Mac and yams. I definitely will come back . Downtown location. Margaritas were good“

“I went twice here for dinner one on a Friday and one time for dinner the next day! while visiting Cleveland from Kent first time I went I got burger and tots second time was salmon dinner and for both times I got the server Jordan she did an amazing job and since I work at a restaurant myself it was neat talking and exchanging experiences of what’s it’s like working in the restaurants and I think when you meet other restaurant workers you can relate to one another. The food was great server did an outstanding job. The second time when the hostess’s was going to seat me I saw Jordan as they were going to seat me and requested her and she was like ya I can take you cause I rather have a server who I know does a good job at there job and who has a good personality and that’s what makes a restaurant and a great server I definitely recommend this restaurant!“
