“Had the pleasure of dining here tonight. Everything from our server Shannon to the food was outstanding!

To drink I had a Love Language, which Shannon recommended! It's made with their house cucumber vodka. It was very refreshing!

For dinner, chicken breast that wasn't dry, seasoned well and easily cut with a butter knife! Collards and Mac and cheese were good as well!

For dessert, we has a banana creme brulee. I'm very picky about creme brulee, but this was perfection!

Will definitely be coming back!“

“Excellent atmosphere great prices friendly people“

“This place is a real gem. They have a great mix of things from different countries, such as Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, etc. They have a wide beer selection too including beers from those countries I just mentioned. They have a cute outdoor patio for nice warm weather days. Everyone here is very friendly and the service is great. Every 3rd Saturday night they have Abrepaso Flamenco group come perform, and Andrea herself also sings/performs and does an amazing job. There's a reason their review average is almost 5 stars :)“

“I've just started going over the last month, and...The regulars have been amazing. Ive dealt with Michelle and Ivy, and they've both been beyond welcoming and awesome. Honestly...Its been nice to find an affordable, local bar, to just go into and not have to worry about anything negative ruining the mood. If the Daze sauce is as amazing as it was under the original owners, I have to assume nothing but the best for this itteration.“

“The place has great food. I love the pool room. Very modern. They were very busy on a Friday night. We had to wait a bit for our food but that's to be expected when the place is busy. Worth the wait. Those wings were the best I ever had. We found a new place to go in Parma.“

“Held our daughter’s college grad party in the Bocce Room. We had a total of 32 people. Everything was wonderful! Megan, the Director of Sales, was very helpful picking out the menu and very quick to respond to any questions we had. Our server, Nate, was fabulous. He kept checking in with us and was extremely helpful with all the little details. All of our guests commented on how nice everything was.“

“I stopped in on Juneteenth to celebrate with some karaoke. I was the only white person in the place, but everybody made me feel comfortable and at home. Excellent chicken wings and a great sense of community. I'll definitely be back!“

“I stepped into Blue Agave for the first time, and the ambiance was instantly captivating. The aroma of the food was enticing, and the presentation was visually appealing. Our waiter, Matt, was an absolute delight. He not only served us drinks and made thoughtful suggestions but also exuded a warm and friendly demeanor throughout our visit. I highly recommend requesting Matt as your waiter if you ever find yourself at Blue Agave.“

“My favorite place in Cleveland. 😍. Plus they have my favorite burger and fries with roasted garlic 🤤🤤🤤“

“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.“

“Erin’s Pub 42 is an outstanding local establishment with a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Whether you're meeting friends, enjoying a drink, or watching a game, the experience is consistently excellent. I highly recommend Erin’s Pub 42 to anyone looking for a great neighborhood pub“
