21 Best Bars near Fairport Harbor

“Food is great especially if the male bartender ken is cooking. Atmosphere a lot of locals but they stay to them selves. It is a bar so Friday and Saturday nights can get interesting the later you are there. Never any problem place has cleaned up inside from years past. Good place for a burger or wings“

“You have to try this amazing place!!! Quick service like lightning fast, incredible food, and ice cold mugs for the ice cold beer. My boyfriend literally said that's the best burrito he's ever had and he's been around for 48 years so he's tried a lot. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!“

“I was first introduced to 1922 about 2 years ago and loved it. Recently, my son and I have started coming in most Sunday mornings w friends for breakfast. The staff are so friendly and always let my son order himself and put his name down which he loves. We came in Friday evening and his favorite thing (Cinnamon Rolls) had JUST sold. The man working, who has always gone above and beyond making sure orders are correct and everyone is happy, gave him a cookie instead.Such a small gesture but he is still talking about it days later and I certainly will remember it as well. They have a good food, drinks, and I have yet to meet a person there (staff or patron) who wasn’t friendly and welcoming.Highly recommend it to all my friends and family!“

“Been here a handful of times over the past year. Mainly for their golf simulator. They have 2 bays. Super spacious there with a couple TVs. The cost of the simulator was only $20/hr on a Wednesday afternoon, took my 4 year old! It was great time to spend with her and hang for a bit. Played here with buddies in the past too, and just on my own dialing in my clubs. Never crowded during the week. And again, the cost of a bay during the week is about $25! CANNOT beat that!The bar itself is rather huge. LOTS of TVs, sportsbook, etc. Solid draught lineup always. Their bartenders and staff might be some of the nicest people. Always enjoyable convo and just super pleasant folks.I have ate here a few times and its pretty standard bar food. Nothing fancy, but a solid meal nevertheless!If you are thinking of going here...do it! You wont be disappointed. Book a bay online before you go and hit some balls while you drink and eat!Kid-friendliness: They threw on some cartoons for my 4 year old while he hit some golf balls. Didn't even ask! Solid stuff.“

“Had a wonderful dinner of mozzarella stuffed corn fritters ($10), vegetable risotto ($17), and flatbread with garlic white sauce and Italian sausage ($13). Everything was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. They definitely have a good chef. The corn fritters were crispy on the outside and creamy, cheesy on the inside, with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. The risotto had lots of veggies and a balsamic reduction drizzle. The flatbread had a delicious garlic white sauce and just the right balance of toppings. Plus, we each had a Happy Hour” drink for $5 each. They also have a very extensive wine and beer list that includes 24 IPAs on tap (and growlers to go were around $11 each). They have a large outdoor patio area that can also be enclosed in case of inclement weather. This place was a winner and we’ll be back!“

“We had the shrimp tacos today. They were delicious! We love the lunch special with 2 tacos and chips with several guacamole choices. The prices are more than reasonable. Our server went out of his way to remove the jalapeños from my order.“

“A small quiet place with some of the best food you’ll ever have. I absolutely love their hamburgers and fries which are freshly cooked not frozen! The lady with the long dark hair that works there is incredible and always makes you feel special. Also their drink and food prices are very reasonable making this bar/restaurant one of the most affordable in town.“

“I had the pleasure of being surprised for my 40th Birthday at a private party here. Katie Uminski did an amazing job all by herself dealing with us from start to finish. Everything went great and we look forward to using them again in the future! If you're looking for somewhere for a small private party I highly recommend her at The Yard On 3rd!“

“The owners of this place take alot of pride in providing great entertainment and excellent food. The "crowd" type and overall atmosphere is nice to have in lake county. If you go, they have one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've eaten,hands down! The decor gives you the real "shop" feel as well.“

“Nostalgia, to me, is underrated. We've always driven past, wanting to stop in and check it out. We finally did and weren't disappointed. Very cool bar; it reminds me of a cool basement party from the 80's and 90's with pretty much any arcade game you'd want to play. The games are the real arcade systems from the day, not those huge machines as you'd find down the road (?), but if you like that sort of thing ? - waste your ?.Any whoo, Nostalgia is theperfect place to meet up with friends (or even for date night), have some cocktails and food, and enjoy the games (and great memories of yesteryears).We ate prior to visiting but glanced the menu to check the options for our next visit (yep, definitely returning). There were a lot of varieties on the menu, and the drinks were good pours ? ?The owner was there and very nice, as well as the barmaid; she was friendly, attentive, and kind.We will definitely return and bring our friends. This place is definitely a gem for Nostalgia.“

“A hidden gem in downtown Painesville. The food is always delicious and fresh. The lobster bisque soup is one the very best we've ever had! It's cozy in the winter and chill in the summer sitting outside on the patio. Always a great choice!“

“The Wild Goose serves up the usual pub grub, but it also happens to be exceptionally good pub grub! The draft beer list was quite respectable and featured a good balance of local and regional craft beers mixed with the usual macrobrew suspects. As for the food, the loaded goose fries were a surprisingly smashable and satisfying mess of starchy potatoes, gooey cheese, tangy aioli, smoky bacon… and a sprinkling of tomatoes to make the whole thing healthy. The pizza was, unbelievably, even more of a flavor explosion, featuring rich (but not greasy) sauces and cheeses layered atop a thin and crispy crust. (The char from the on-site pizza oven really shone through in a positive way!) The staff, meanwhile, were all very attentive and friendly. My only complaint was that the sports bar vibes didn’t do anything for me, but by the end of the meal I was in too much of a food coma to really care about my surroundings.“

“Our first time here, we weren't sure what to expect. Local bar atmosphere but everyone was so friendly, even the other patrons. My Porch burger was excellent and prices very reasonable. Bonus, they are dog friendly! We'll be back.“

“Whoo hoooo! What a place! Amazing bartender (Angela), fantastic food (chicken sandwiches were particularly good) prices tastier than the meals, drinks freely pouring ...people all friendly (one table of seven super boisterous but in a good way just loud) we had a great time and happy hour was 3-7!!!“

“Awesome. Servers ran around like chickens with their heads removed. They were friendly and delivered crab after crab. This is the real deal, the crab was fresh not over cooked and delicious, the redskin potatoes were the bomb. I can't wait to go back and feel guilty telling others about this secret¡“

“It's not often that I get to enjoy fine dining, except for special occasions- Nouveau is among the very BEST- Definitely worth it. Prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of food. Ranks with Serenite of Medina for class, elegance and excellence“

“Lunch with the wife. She had chicken marsala and I had a Chicken Ceasar Salad. She said the Marsala was good and the portion was large. My Salad was excellent and also a huge portion. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Red Hawk never disappoints! And it is nearly time of the year for lunch on the patio.“

“Ist visit. Service was good and pork cutlet was delicious. Evening was spoiled by the obnoxious women at the bar with her consistent very loud outbursts. Many customers were very annoyed. Staff should have spoken to her. Will think twice before returning.“

“My wife had the calzone said it was the bes. Better than joeys...overstuffed and cooked to perfecttion.. the loaded fries and onion rings were on point. I had the wings w I think it was Cajun parm never had that flavor . Will go back again. We just moved here glad we found a nice spot close to “

“All around great place. Every staff member is so friendly and welcoming. Brittney has an amazing talent. My daughter's and I attended a murder mystery dinner she orchestrated. We had so much fun. The plot was very intriguing. Each character was carefully well created. Because of the all details it's obvious she put a lot of herself into this. A true passion. I hope she host another in the near future.“

“We hosted our first edition of Secret Society Comedy at Billy's Martini Bar last weekend, and the space was perfect. Katarina and the team went above and beyond in communication, collaboration, and service so we could focus on bringing the best show possible for our guests. We can't wait to come back to Billy's for more laughs!“
