33 Best Dive Bars near Lakewood

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best bar food in Lakewood! The wings are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EVERY TIME!!!“

“Kataplnktiko mpravo George“

“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 “

“Inn Cahoots is a wonderful place with great food, amazing staff, and comfortable environment. I come there often with my dad and it is always a wonderful time. The staff is very friendly and kind and treat customers with respect and care. Great. place!“

“Best bar in the city while sitting at the bar!“

“great food + great owner + great service+ great clientele = great time“

“New owners (Doug & Mary) are AMAZING!!!! The atmosphere is incredible, the food is DELICIOUS and the prices are VERY reasonable!!! I will definitely be back!!! Another great gem in Berea!!!“

“Had an awesome time after the Kathleen Madigan show last night! Fast service, cool people.“

“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.“

“Been a regular here for a decent amount of time. The bartenders are always fantastic, the atmosphere is always superb. No wonder this bar was voted the best neighborhood bar in Cleveland. It shows in the care, dedication and commitment to the craft the bartenders show. Great prices, better conversations. Only downside is, the chip selection could be better.“

“A suburban bar with a dive feel. Drinks are good, staff is super nice! Plenty of seating. They have pool tables , darts, and even an old school pinball machine. I lived in the area for three years and when I am back in town to visit my friend it is our go to place!“

“Based on my first try: it's a Wednesday at 7 P.M. It's June 5th and it's about 75 degrees. Light breeze. There's about 5 people. All of them are nice. Didn't see my future wife. But I ordered pizza down the street and they had beer. I'll come back again“

““Where Time Stops and the Beer Flows”

Absolute gem of a corner dive — the kind of place that keeps the locals hydrated, happy, and maybe just a little too honest. No frills, no pretense, no craft cocktail menus written in cursive. The vibe here is simple: they pour it, you drink it.

Décor? Let’s just say it’s less “HGTV” and more “grandpa’s basement that knows how to party.” But the stools are comfy, the drinks are cheap, and there’s Skee-Ball for anyone with the attention span of a goldfish (me).

Bonus points for the crock-pot cuisine — free snacks that taste better with every beer. Jukebox humming, game shows blaring, regulars laughing. Plenty of parking out back for your chariot home.

This is Parma dive bar royalty. Come thirsty, leave a legend. 🍻“

“The lake Perch is outstanding! Fresh!“

“Best pizza ever! Food is way better than “bar quality” high quality ingredients, and delicious recipes. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good layout with lots of TVs. 10/10“

“ABC Tavern is awesome, Im a huge fan and often end up there for a late night snack. Their fries are, in my opinion, perfect. Exactly what you want in a fry. Their food i reasonably priced and well portioned. I always leave satisfied. The specials are interesting and usually very good too.

The service is always good, the bartenders are great, attentive, and take care of you. I have literally never asked for a refill on a water, they fill it multiple times before its empty. Which is one of my criteria for how good service is.

The vibes are also great. They play good music. Love the dollar bill wall behind the bar lol. And the types of people who go to town hall generally arent here, which is a big feature. I highly recommend this place.“

“One of my favorite Cleveland bars ☺️“

“Great food, great servers, easy parking and highway access. I hear the weekly Thursday night jam night is pretty good too?“

“My first time here, we went for the Fish Fry and it was fabulous! Had a group of 8 people, everyone loved the food, and our server was fantastic! I had the Beer Battered Fish Fry dinner with the hush puppies, others at our table had the Walleye, Baked Stuffed Cod, and Blackened Cod. We left after dinner to go play some pinball nearby then came back to My Corner Bar later to watch the band Blame Willie - they were great! This is a fun bar, I want to come back and try a burger sometime and maybe Karaoke.“

“Great patrons, Great staff, Great music, Great food! Reasonable prices.“

“A fun vibe“

“GREAT pizza, great atmosphere! Get there early if you want pizza!!“

“I am so disappointed I didn't know about this place sooner. I've lived in and around Berea most of my life and somehow drove past here at least a few times a month without ever noticing it. The owner personally greeted us when we came in, made sure we felt welcomed, our server was fantastic; attentive, accurate with our orders, and also funny, I appreciated that she picked up on the vibe of our table and played off some of our jokes with each other and made sure we never had an empty glass for long. The only reason I can't give a full five stars on the food category is that the clam chowder was, no offense, genuinely one of the worst soups I've ever had in my entire life, but the other soup (Chicken tort.) and all the appetizers I tried, as well as the patty melt I had as my main course were tasty enough to make up for the clam chowder. Reasonably priced beer on tap, diverse food menu with some real interesting options, friendly staff, and a convenient location. I absolutely intend to come back soon.“

“Ohhhhh yeah Post & Beam is the real deal

I stopped in for a bite to eat not knowing what to expect

I highly recommend the Beamer Burger.

The bartender was incredibly friendly and attentive. She was working very hard.

The food took some time to come out from the kitchen but boy was it worth the wait.

5 stars“

“if you don't go you won't know how great it is“

“Great prices on food and drinks. Nice people. They have karaoke too. Update 9-20-25. Didn't like potato skins. Liquid nacho cheese is used. Buffalo sauce was sweet. Didn't like the butter dauce either. Last food order T-TH is 6:45pm. Fri & Sat 1:45 am. No kitchen Mondays & Sundays, unless it's a Browns game.“

“My first visit there was for karaoke last week Melissa made me feel so comfortable I felt right at home what a great space I will be back“

“Very seldom do i give 5 starts across the board, but I am seriously impressed! The service was a little different than I am used to, but that is certainly not a complaint. My wife and I each ordered a mushroom Swiss burger. It was by far the best I've had.“

“Always a fun time with great staff“
