“Favorite bar in Cleveland. The staff is elite and the vibes…immaculate. Best trivia, best food—yayyyyyy.“

“Its a great place to get Guinness and particularly the interesting part about this place is its the representation of Irish culture and connection with the “Green Mile” of Lorain Avenue. Only few places in Ohio have such vintage vibe and this is a perfect spot for having an Irish beer and relax with the friends.“

“Carney’s Pub is exactly what a neighborhood dive bar should be. Cheap drinks, friendly people, and absolutely no attempt to be anything fancy. And that’s what makes it great.

If you want to hang out with actual locals instead of paying $9 for a beer at some trendy bar, this is your spot. Everyone was welcoming, and the prices are hard to beat.

They don’t serve food, but you’re welcome to bring your own, which is a nice touch. Grab some takeout, pull up a barstool, and enjoy.

The dollar bills covering the ceiling and walls are worth checking out too. This place has character, and plenty of it.

Five stars for keeping the neighborhood dive bar alive!“

“Great food, good people, always a good time.“

Yes I will be back before concerts and just for a great salmon cake and grits!“

“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.“
