“Cloak and Dagger is an excellent cocktail bar offering a unique selection of drinks. I sampled 'Death by The King' and 'Her Highness', finding both to be quite potent and challenging to drink. 'Death by The King' particularly stood out, growing on me with each sip. The bar boasts a pleasant atmosphere and a convenient location. I would definitely recommend visiting. As of March 2024, each cocktail was 15 USD.“

“We heard the drinks are amazing, but we ordered wine - it was good. We were celebrating a birthday and ended up seated by the kitchen - didn’t feel very special. We enjoyed the food - cauliflower appetizer - very indulgent! We also enjoyed the mussels, a shawarma wrap and a salad. Everything was good. The decor was fun and the vibe lively. I had a really hard time hearing during dinner - though the back room wasn’t full it was very loud. We didn’t linger….Vegetarian options: Salads, ravioli and a veggie burger were in the menu“

Taps & Tails Cocktail Bar •

“My pup is a rescue. She was mistreated by her previous "humans" and, consequently, had some significant trust issues. The Taps and Tails staff is wholly focused on the pups comfort and their safety, and that helped my pup learn that not all humans are bad. She gained confidence (and some sass) and is truly a much more well adjusted dog thanks to the environment T&T fosters.“

“I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment. My partner and I stumbled upon this bar spontaneously while exploring Ohio City one spring day, and we have been captivated ever since. The concept of the bar is innovative, and their menu is consistently outstanding, featuring seasonal changes and custom cocktail recipes crafted by their own staff – a truly remarkable feature!! Additionally, the bar proudly showcases local Ohio brand liquors, beers, and IPAs, adding a distinctive touch to their offerings. The staff members are truly exceptional, embodying a delightful combination of professionalism and warmth. I must extend a special acknowledgment to Ethan, Noah, and, of course, the owner, Sam, who have made us feel like part of their extended family. With its inviting atmosphere, exceptional drinks, and friendly staff, this establishment exceeds expectations on every front. What more could one ask for?!“

“Cool place to have some food and drinks. Atmosphere inside is nice and chill, servers were pleasant. Food was DELICIOUS --- I highly recommend the brussel sprouts and crispy potatoes. The cocktails were very good. The food and drinks are a bit overpriced but I expect it in Pinecrest. Would have given 5 stars but when asked if we wanted water when first arrived they brought out an artesian bottled water and didn't give offer us "free" water. They charged us $8 for the water we didn't have a choice in. When they came around during the meal they refilled with thankfully free water. Be aware that you may need to specify you want normal water like most other places would serve you. Kind of sus.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options, mostly in the salads or vegetables. Make sure to ask the server as some options that seem vegetarian are cooked with animal fat/broth.Parking: Large lot and street parking, but a very busy area so may need to circle a few times.“

“What a location!! Right on the water, we were sat in the enclosed patio area and got to watch the seagulls feast with us.We started with the beer and shot and I had a sweater weather, I had them change out the vodka for tequila. It was tasty! We got the crispy broccoli and cauliflower and boy was that a treat! The veggies were super crispy and the drizzles on there are full of flavor in such a memorable way… yum!For brunch I had the fried green tomato sandwich with pork belly. Holy cow! This was a mind blowing meal.My brother got the burger. He spoke very highly of his plate as well. This is a new favorite in downtown Cleveland. In a couple months I have tickets for a concert at Nautica (Jacob’s pavilion whatever we call it these days) and this restaurant looks right out on the river at the value.

“We hosted a Young Professional networking event here, which was new for me because typically I only find myself arriving late on a weekend. I'm so happy we did because Stella made sure we had a stellar time (she put the Stella in Stellar? Sorry, nerd status) and the food provided was super fresh and the staff was so attentive. We had a pretty large group all come in at once and they got us through quickly with our first round of drinks! The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!“

“Every Friday night Latin Dance Party? FREE!!!!???????????? ??I am sooo grateful that Europa has this Latin dance party every week because there's not a lot of places to dance like this in Ohio (or even Cleveland).8:30PM is a mini Latin dance class (for $5).But if you arrive after the class for the dance party it's FREE! It goes until 2AM! ????I love that it has a very casual, friendly, safe atmosphere ❤️ I didn't know how to dance at all when I first came to Europa, but everyone was so nice and taught me how to dance. There are a lot of professional dancers there ? or people who have taken classes before, but there are also some beginner dancers. ?? So it's fun for everyone!!The young, male bartender did get mad and rolled his eyes at me when I asked for a water ? I was waiting for my friend and then planning on ordering drinks later... Sorry I want to hydrate? ??‍♀️ But besides that, I have never had a bad experience there.“

The cocktail menu (or should I say book) is very large, so you will definitely be sure to find something you like! It is sorted by alcohol type, so it is very easy to navigate - don't be afraid to ask questions if you have any! Most of their drinks are around $14, but are worth every penny - they are handmade in front of you and are very delicious! These are some of the best cocktails I've had in Cleveland and I know if you give it a shot you're going to enjoy them too!“
