26 Best Bars in Lakewood

“The owner of the Mercury Music Lounge is the same one that owns the Foundry in Lakewood. I'm not closely acquainted with them, but they don't lot to support their local community and the different groups that come together to uplift one another. This business makes the world a better place. Come be a part of that!“

“This place is sooo fun 🤩. You can pour your own beer and do something fun like different flights. This is how it works - you go up to the front desk and get a Tapsters card. Then you keep the card in the slot and put your beer. The faster you pour, the less the foam! Theres free popcorn and you can get food from Voodoo sushi next door! At the end you can drop it off in the slot boxes up front with the tip signs. The operation game is definitely missing some bones - please replace them, a lot of people like that game. The only thing we didn’t like is that you have to tip given the fact that you’re basically picking up and putting your dishes away, and doing basically everything yourself. You have to check out on the tablet upfront with the Person right there handing you the tablet. It’s a little awkward if you did not tip. Please get rid of tipping, I’m sure the people working there are salaried! Other than that, the place is fabulous! I would’ve given it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the weird tipping!!“

“This place is awesome! Great staff and atmosphere.“

“Great spot! great owners. shows always sound good here and sound guys and bartenders take pride in the job they are doing and care about patrons.“

“Great local spot. Delicious food & drinks.“

“I really enjoyed this bar. It was a great place to have a couple of beers during happy hour for quite a cheap price.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating also. They gave me a few good recommendations on good food in the area.

As for the atmosphere, it was pretty lively with a good mix of people. The building seems a little old so the bar kind of has a dive feel to it. I mean that in a good way though. There is also some cool decor and a room with a pool table. There is also a shuffleboard table.

Overall, this place was a good place for me to get some cheap brews and wind down during happy hour.“

“Ya know, the place is great fun. The owner (Rick) is a really great guy. People are fun and I'd rate the experience higher if it weren't for the idiot "manager" (Brandon). This fool discourages and turns away people because he is a racist. Yup! Idiots are still out there. Unfortunately, they let this TOTAL looser run the place because he claims to have info on people in high places. He makes the stuff up! Hand to God's, it is total truth. Have a couple cocktails with friends, when you are on your way out he will call the Lakewood police on you. Instantly ruining your life!!! I KNOW!!! Who pulls that kind of sick move?!?! BRANDON at Corky's on Detroit!!! I know it's the absolute truth! He did it to my best friend.“

“keeping all of you in my prayers. I can't wait to come and chill with some pretzel shots!“

“Once upon a time in the magical kingdom of Riverwood Cafe, there lived six legendary characters who made every visit feel like a fairy tale. ✨

Queen Michelle ruled the land with kindness and laughter, always making everyone feel welcome the second they walked through the doors. Sir Tony brought the charm, jokes, and energy that could light up even the darkest forest nights. Julie, the woodland fairy of good vibes, somehow made every table feel like home with her warm heart and contagious smile.

Princess Sarah sprinkled joy like pixie dust everywhere she went, while Brandon, the brave knight of Riverwood, kept the kingdom running smoothly no matter how wild the tavern became. And of course, Sam — the wise wizard behind the scenes — made sure the magic never stopped flowing.

Together, they turned Riverwood Cafe into more than just a bar… it became a storybook escape where laughter echoed louder than dragons and memories were made like happily-ever-afters. Whether you came for one drink or stayed until the clock struck midnight, you always left feeling like part of the kingdom.

5 stars for the most magical crew in the land. 🏰🍻✨“

“Maybe I'm biased because I've never seen them lose here, but, for me, there's no better place in Lakewood to watch a Browns game. With the potluck dishes it's like family. Fuggetaboutit!
Patio is second to none also.“

“Food 5/5 everything was good and fresh.

Service lost a star for getting my order wrong, but the bill was correct.

Atmosphere lost points for having dust and cobwebs. They have ledges with decorative objects, they should just get rid of the decorations. Make the environment easy to clean.“

“My corner bar where I have a beer with my friends.“

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

“Great bourbon and beer selection. Max was a great bartender! Thanks for a great time!“

“Everything is a highlight. The Hot Carls . The Big Robs. The specials. Rip.“

“The place is kind of cool but hard to park.. nice people.. the pizza is good but the sauce could use a lil more flavor it’s kind of tomato pastey if you know what I mean… but besides that it’s pretty good pricey but the dough is amazing best part about the pizza forsure“

“Enjoyed every bit of the cajun dry rub wings dressed w/ the mango-jalapeño sauce on the side and fries. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ryan is AMAZING! he makes the best drinks and is always here and always working so hard. I'm always so happy when he's our bartender :)He works bar and kitchen which is super impressive. Get his food and drinks. You won't be “

“First time having real Indian food and I was blown away. The hot had flavor, not just heat. So many sauces and chutneys, they even have an all you can eat lunch buffet daily that I’m so coming back for. Small restaurant but what charm the atmosphere had. 18 years in business and I can see why.“

“Great drinks, friendly knowledgeable staff and an amazing music venue all in one. I’ve see Rock shows. EDM shows and cover shows … once I saw midget wrestling.(no judging until to see it). Every one was a treat. Not to mention the ppv fights. You can’t go wrong here on a weekend night at the tap house unless you don’t go. — Chris.“

“We ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT TIME @ The Christmas Corner Bar!! Loved the Raspberry Rudolph’s!“

“Always a great time! Awesome atmosphere and extensive selection of beers, the variety of food trucks is certainly enticing. Something for every palate, 😋“

“Best patio in Lakewood. Food is solid and the service is absolutely incredible. Kyonna was incredibly personable and took amazing care of us. We will be back to try some more food, but what we had was decent for just stopping in for a handful of appetizers and cocktails. I'll be back just because the ambiance and service were impeccable. Thanks again Kyonna!“

“I've had wings all over Ohio. These are up there with the best I've ever had. Will certainly be back! I've driven past so many times but decided to try them in a whim, wow am I glad I did. Buffaque is a mix of their house buffalo and bbq sauce. Had more heat than I expected, which I loved. Can't wait to come back! Booths FTW!“

“Wow. This place was recommended to us as my husband and I were looking for the perfect cheeseburger for our wedding anniversary. The staff in the kitchen … you guys are so amazing, warm and gracious. We will be back. The Tinman! That was one extraordinary burger. And the fries, chicken tenders are out of this world with all those sauces. Can’t thank you enough. Also, the interior vibe and feel of the place is wonderful. A MUST if you’re in Cleveland or visiting. ❤️“

“This was, by far, one of the best experiences ever! The food, the atmosphere, and the service were comparable to none!“
