44 Best Sports Bars near Independence

“Amazing food and service! Happy comfortable atmosphere.“

“We really enjoy the Top Golf experience. It’s fun, all season, etc. Our experience this time was a little underwhelming as I received a glass with someone’s lip marks still on it. The server apologized but seemed annoyed and brought me a new one. (No biggie, stuff happens) Then we were there during a shift change, waited almost an hour for appetizers. (Dips and pretzels) Last, my daughter’s glass also revealed (after she drank) leftovers from a previous guest. I really like experience, but attention to detail is certainly lacking.“

“We had a party of 18 at the independence location. The service was amazing! All the food was hot and fresh and served quickly! Our servers were super attentive and constantly refilling our drinks and running for extra napkins or condiments! Definitely will go again“

“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!“

“Just putting out a positive post for Beer & Belly Sports Grille. Yesterday after a long day at Halloween events for our kids and sitting in the McDonald’s line for 20+ minutes before pulling away we decided to just grab some dinner as a family which the food as always was wonderful. From the second we stepped in the staff was amazingly accommodating. Offering coloring books for our kids, cute ghost stickers and free pumpkins in the pumpkin patch after our meal. Thankful for a restaurant and staff like this so close to home because we literally only take our kiddos to one other restaurant so we don’t disturb anyone’s meals (our kids are loud LOL) 🎃👻🩷“

“We recently hosted my daughter’s graduation dinner at Whistle Taproom and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We had around 35 guests over a 3-hour event, and everything exceeded our expectations.

The food was amazing, beautifully presented, and consistently fresh throughout the evening. The staff provided outstanding service and made sure our guests were comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. What truly stood out was the communication — both leading up to the event and during the dinner itself. The team was responsive, organized, professional, and incredibly easy to work with.

Their event packages were also very affordable, especially considering the quality of the food, venue, and service provided. Planning a graduation celebration can be stressful, but they made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We received so many compliments from our guests and would absolutely host another event there in the future. Highly recommend for graduation parties, family celebrations, or private events!“

“Went to Hi 5 tonight for some food and a few cocktails. It was insanely busy, Saturday night before Mother’s Day and tons going on downtown and a concert. We sat at the bar and I have to give a shout out to our bartender Sophie. She was so great, took care of us the whole time along with a million other people. She never broke a sweat and kept on smiling. Go sit at the bar and chat with Sophie, good bartender, funny and sweet! Thanks for making my Mother’s Day, my kids don’t live around me!“

“I always like to eat here, win or lose. Its very affordable, fast, and the servers are super awesome. I recommend the fish and chips, and the meatloaf.. Everything Ive tried is delicious tho! I'm picky too!

Dietary restrictions: they dont mind swapping side dishes

Parking: It's inside the casino“

“I had my retirement party at the 3 Spot last Saturday, and they could not have been more accommodating! We've known for a long time that the staff is exceptional and friendly, but we're super impressed now with everyone there! I don't want to leave anyone out, but we remember Dave, Karen, P.J., Ryan, Thomas, Corbin, and our server for the evening, Lisa. She was wonderful-keeping an eye on the group in case someone needed anything. She is fast, friendly, and efficient! The side room was clean, cozy and nicely decorated with a Christmas tree in the corner. And last, but not least, the food is AWESOME! I was glad to have leftovers so we could share, and also enjoy the day after. We had the pizza, BBQ meatballs, Buffalo Chicken dip, pretzel bites, and a really nice looking veggie tray. I would recommend anything on their menu. Thank you all at 3 Spot, you helped to make my party a wonderful memory! Blessings, Lois and Rick Biagiola“

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!“

“Chewy is amazing couldn’t ask for a better server literally was so kind and caring“

“Great bar food, crispy wings, juicy burgers and a great selection of beers on tap (43 when I visited). It's barside ordering and there.can be a.wait to order when busy. Decor is good too with large displays of bottles , taps, and local bobbleheads. It's a little on the pricy side but in line with what you would pay at other downtown establishments. Overall, I think it's a.geat place to stop before or after a Cleveland game for alcohol and grub.“

“Crystal the bartender was amazing. Great service, food and value. I’ll be back“

“Love this place and everyone in it! 🙂“

“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!“

Abby the barmaid was amazing
She is the sole reason I am giving this location a 4 star today,
I have be been to this location about 3-4dozeb times, truly enjoy this location out of all the other,( even though Jill at the Garfield location got to be the next in line,
But tonight I had the WORSE meal,
I know Everytime will not be excellent,
But the food tonight was sent back and couldn't bring myself to get it replaced or made over...
I know the cook is new but baby I had the easiest item
Oriental Grilled chicken salad,
I have no excuse to hear,
Thank you Abby for making the rest of my experience great“

“Quiet little suburb dive bar thats been around for years and definitely shows. Large beverage selection with friendly bartenders and staff. Summertime this place really picks up with its sand volleyball courts and outside bar/patio. Great spot for fundraisers or events due to it large dining space and stage area. Killer Karaoke crowd on the weekends shows off some serious local talent. Stop by and enjoy a cold one.

Vegetarian options: Two words: French Fries

Parking: Plenty of parking especially after 6pm

Kid-friendliness: Kids can play on volleyball court and eat chicken tendies.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor joint with several entrances/exits. No stairs in sight.“

“Our server was amazing and a great person! Food was hot and tasty. Unfortunately, we went to get some dinner and use some points since we were in town for the Cleveland Clinic. They closed the restaurant near us, so we have to travel at least 90 minutes one way to dine at a Friday's anymore. Such a shame... They need to find a way to take care of long time customers like me that have a bunch of points but cannot redeem them anymore without making it a hassle...“

“very nice, clean and very good food“

“Good mix of patrons and the atmosphere is great.“

“Malachi was an amazing young man. He was definitely very respectful and very patient with us. I’m so proud of this young man. Thank you for your amazing service. I hope you go far in life. And make sure you follow your dreams and I hope you continue your amazing journey.“
